The College of Visual and Performing Arts’ (VPA) Department of Drama will launch its 2018-19 Sunday Salon Series with the panel discussion “Making Old Stories New Again: The Brothers Grimm, Stephen Sondheim and ‘Into the Woods.’”

logoPresented in conjunction with the department’s production of “Into the Woods,” this first installment of the Sunday Salon Series will take place on Sunday, Oct. 14, at 4:30 p.m. in the Arthur Storch Theatre, 820 E. Genesee St. The discussion is free and open to the public. No tickets are required.

Panelists will be:

  • Kal Alston, professor, cultural foundations of education and associate dean for academic affairs, School of Education
  • Whitney Phillips, assistant professor, Department of Communication and Rhetorical Studies, VPA
  • David Lowenstein, professor of practice, Department of Drama, VPA

Department of Drama Chair Ralph Zito hopes that the Sunday Salon Series, which will accompany each of the department’s mainstage productions, will provide an opportunity for the University and larger community to take a closer look at the creative process, to explore themes presented in each production by engaging in conversation with members of the creative team and faculty experts from a wide range of fields, and increase awareness of drama productions as a curricular and co-curricular resource.
