Robey Presents AN EVENING OF CONVERSATION, August 14

The Robey Theatre Company presents the next in its series of monthly events via Zoom, An Evening Conversation, with discussion by a panel of artists on several topics.

You'll also have the opportunity to get your questions answered by the panelists. The topics of focus include: the current and future state of the theatre; Covid-19 and its impact on the performing arts (including, for example, the emergence of events on Zoom and other online platforms); and the response of the arts to the ongoing global movement for racial justice.

An Evening Conversation will take place on Zoom on Friday, August 14, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. PDT. The early evening start time enables audience members from both coasts and throughout the United States to attend the event.
