Adrienne Kennedy (BS ’53; DRH ’03) is one of the country’s most influential playwrights, yet she never achieved commercial success. For the first time, one of Kennedy’s plays will appear on Broadway when Audra MacDonald stars in The Ohio State Murders, an autobiographically inspired play that addresses the violence of racism.
Join three Kennedy scholars as they discuss her work and its impact on American theatre.
