Talkback & Reception: David Mamet's Oleanna

About this event

David Mamet’s Oleanna is an uncomfortably relevant play exploring gender, authority, power, and education through a series of increasingly fraught conversations between a university professor and his student. Written in 1992 in response to the Anita Hill–Clarence Thomas hearings, the play examines what happens when assumptions, personal biases, and failures of communication turn differences into divisions. The production invites audiences to reflect on their own perspectives and continue the conversation with openness and respect. Join us on Thursday, Oct. 1, from 5–6:30 p.m. for a talkback and reception following that day’s 1 p.m. performance. Colorado College President Manya Whitaker will moderate the conversation. Refreshments and light hors d’oeuvres will be served. Talkback attendees may also receive a complimentary ticket to that evening’s performance of Come From Away, capacity permitting. The talkback and reception are free and open to the public. RSVPs are strongly encouraged. RSVP for the talkback get oleanna tickets
