Tony Kushner: A Conversation about Art and Politics- Rescheduled

Event Image
Wednesday, March 18, 2015
6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Crown Lecture in Ethics

Join Tony Kushner, best known for his magnum-opus Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes, for an intimate conversation on arts and politics, the state of the nation, and civil participation. Recipient of a National Medal of Arts and Humanities and winner of Pulitzer Prize for Drama, multiple Emmys and Tony Awards, Kushner's political plays are rarely polemic as he constantly forces the audience to identify with the marginalized: a drag queen dying of AIDS, an uneducated Southern maid, contemporary Afghans, and more. Kushner is the 2014 Crown Lecturer in Ethics, a series that brings leaders to discuss the ethical concerns in the fields of the arts, science, public policy, health and business. The event takes place in the Fleishman Commons and is free and open to public. Parking is available in the Public Policy lot.
