FREE and Open to ALL

Join Berlin-based curator and playwright Sasha Salzmann, director and Theater faculty Jay Scheib, and Lecturer of German Emily Goodling for an open conversation on the place of theater in our contemporary world. From Germany’s state-supported stages to the evolving aesthetics of U.S. performance, the discussion will explore theater and performance as tools for social critique, community building, and political engagement. What are the limits and the potentialities of theater in our society, and what can we learn about them from two very different cultural contexts? 

Open to all; reception afterwards.

 

This conversation is made possible thanks to generous support from CAST, Global Languages, and Theater.

 

Date and time: Tuesday Sept. 30th, 2025 - 7:15-8:30 with a reception to follow

Location: W97, Room 160
