CELEBRATED SPEAKERS

EDWARD ALBEE AND THE LIMITS OF TOLERANCE

Lazaridis Hall, Tom Patterson Theatre
Saturday, September 14, 2024
10:30 a.m. - noon

Join us for an engaging panel discussion that delves into the thought-provoking world of Edward Albee and his exploration of tolerance boundaries in the context of his play, The Goat or, Who is Sylvia? The conversation will dissect the intricate layers of Albee's work, focusing on how he challenges conventional norms and navigates the realm of taboo through his unique storytelling lens. Harri Thomas, Cultural and Praxis Consultant for the 2024 production of The Goat, Jessica Fields, Vice-Dean Faculty Affairs, Equity & Success in the Office of the Vice-Principal Academic & Dean and Professor of Health Studies at University of Toronto Scarborough, and others will draw connections between the theatrical world and real-life scenarios, discussing with moderator Bob White how the arts can provide a platform for individuals to confront, understand, and ultimately transcend societal boundaries.

Support for The Meighen Forum is generously provided by Kelly & Michael Meighen and the T.R. Meighen Family Foundation.
