Patton Oswalt will moderate a Q and A session after the reading."If America is going to have a real chance at healing we must get rid of Trump," added Elwes And that is only possible if we win Wisconsin. "I am thrilled to be part of this very rare reunion of my colleagues from The Princess Bride as a way to increase awareness and garner resources for the state that will determine the fate of America."The live stream begins at 4:00 pm (PST) on September 13.
