You are invited to a performance of “What We Learned While Alone: Global Voices Speak to the Pandemic,” a theatrical event that combines spoken word, music, movement, and digital dialogue to create an innovative interactive experience, culminating in a poem created with performers and audience that celebrates what we have learned from our loss, what we praise, and what we hope for the future.
The event will be held Friday, April 28 in Weigel Hall.
The 50-minute performance will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will be followed by a moderated panel discussion about COVID-19 and the upcoming expiration of the Federal Public Health Emergency. A boxed lunch will be provided.
