Free and open to the public.

This event is a part of the Lana Schwebel Memorial Lecture series and the Literature and Spirituality series.The Schwebel Lecture was established in 2008 in memory of former faculty member Lana Schwebel, who died suddenly and tragically in July 2007.

Speaker Statement:

For me, writing characters is a complicated form of prayer. There is a strange shame that comes from creating characters and then causing bad things to happen to them. I will read excerpts from my plays. I will speak openly about the spiritual practice of making worlds and then letting them go.
