A conversation with Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Lynn Nottage and The New York Times writer Salamishah Tillet. Lynn Nottage is a playwright and screenwriter, and is the first woman in history to win two Pulitzer Prizes for Drama. This fall, Nottage has a new play, Clyde's , at Second Stage Theater and a musical, MJ, based on Michael Jackson's life, debuting at Broadway's Neil Simon Theater in December. A truth teller and seeker, Nottage was among the 300 playwrights, actors, directors, administrators who signed the June 9, 2020 open letter, "We See You, White American Theater," challenging the industry to grapple with its contributions to racial injustice. Join for an intimate evening of conversation and performance with Lynn Nottage and culture writer and contributing critic-at-large for The New York Times, Salamishah Tillet. This event will have limited capacity in-person and will be available to view online.
