Tony Kushner speaks to Theatre students

On September 12th the Department of Theatre was the proud host of this year’s Hearst Lecture Series. Renowned playwright Tony Kushner, whose works include the epic two-part Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes, was our guest. Mr. Kushner accepted an invitation that expressed our desire to bring to campus a speaker who would passionately illustrate the connection between arts and education, and who could explore the political potential of theatre. Mr Kushner spent an amazing 2 hours onstage responding to questions presented by department head Eric Lange.
