THE 2020 SUMMER IN CONVERSATION SERIES

This summer, in partnership with HowlRound Theatre Commons, we're live-streaming four conversations with today's leading playwrights and theater-makers. Gain insight and knowledge through these candid discussions where you'll have the opportunity to not only hear from some of our leading artists as they discuss our world today and new ways of thinking about writing and theater, but also ask questions.  The conversations are online and free.
