Virtual - NEA Big Read: Central Florida presents Darcy Parker Bruce

Thursday, April 23, 2020 noon to 1 p.m.

Can art adequately respond to war? How do artists represent the unrepresentable? Join us for a series of virtual talks that seeks to answer these questions.

Darcy Parker Bruce is a playwright and educator from New Haven, CT, and a graduate of the MFA Playwriting program at Smith College. They’re currently part of the faculty at several Connecticut Colleges, where they teach Playwriting and Theater Activism. Darcy was the recipient of a 2017 Tennessee Williams Scholarship through the Sewanee Writers’ Conference, and was granted ATHE’s 2018 Judith Royer Award For Excellence in Theater, which brought new play SOLDIER POET to Boston.

A program of the National Endowment for the Arts, the NEA Big Read: Central Florida broadens our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book. This year the NEA Big Read: Central Florida is pleased to partner with the University of Central Florida’s Veterans Legacy Program to celebrate "The Things They Carried" by Tim O’Brien.
