Performances and Free Copies of Robert Schenkkan’s Work

UT alumnus Robert Schenkkan won the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for his play The Kentucky Cycle. He’ll return to Austin to give a presentation in the Joynes Reading Room (CRD 007) on Thursday, March 24 at 7PM. Schenkkan will discuss scenes he wrote for the HBO miniseries The Pacific (for which he received two Emmy nominations last year). Live actors will read a scene from Schenkkan’s new play, Docent. The playwright will discuss the differences between writing for the stage and writing for the screen. Honors students who promise to attend the event can claim a copy of The Kentucky Cycle by visiting the Joynes Reading Room. (We have 10 free copies and expect they will go quickly.) This event is free and open to everybody. For more information, contact mvalentine@mail.utexas.edu or call (512) 471-5787.
