“Yours in the Hustle: 25 Years of Art and Troublemaking”

PLEASE NOTE: This event has been cancelled.

On Wednesday, April 13, nationally renowned, queer, Chicano, activist-playwright Ricardo Abreu Bracho visits the spring theater course, “Movements for Diversity in American Theater,” taught by Assistant Professor of Theater Brian Herrera. Bracho will read from a selection of his dramatic and critical works before engaging in a public conversation with Herrera on the subject of Latinx professionals working in the contemporary American theater. Herrera’s course offers an intensive critical, creative and historical overview of the long history of agitation and advocacy by theater artist-activists aiming to transform American theatre-making around principles of access, equity, inclusion and diversity.

The event begins at 3:00 p.m. in Room 105 at Carl Fields Center at 58 Prospect Avenue in Princeton. Free and open to the public.

Bracho’s visit is made possible through funding and support from the Lewis Center for the Arts Program in Theater, the Department of African American Studies, and the Programs in Gender and Sexuality and American Studies.
