“Good conversation is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after,” says a not-too-ancient proverb.
This spring, we are happy to have you for coffee and conversation at the Center for Performance Studies. Coffee and Concepts is a series of colloquium-style, informal gatherings where scholars from across campus who work in the field of performance (broadly conceived) will be presenting new work and work in progress. Come and share the pleasure to be their first listeners and readers.
Professor Sara E. Freeman
Friday, April 19, 2 - 4 PM, Hutchinson Hall room 154
The Center for Performance Studies invites you for coffee and conversation with Sara E. Freeman, a theatre historian from University of Puget Sound.
