Oak Park Festival Theatre is hosting the free online event “James Baldwin: His Impact on the Theatre Then, Now, and in the Future,” on Tuesday, June 15, at 7-8 p.m., that will feature scholar/author Dr. Eddie S. Glaude, Jr.—an expert on the seminal activist, writer and playwright.
Glaude is chair of African American Studies and the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor at Princeton University, and is the author of the best-selling book Begin Again: James Baldwin’s America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own.
Leading the conversation at this intimate “fireside chat” will be actor/director Ron OJ Parsons; and Saudia Davis, executive director of the newly launched Center for Creative Entrepreneurship.
