Regional Arts Education Day

The Arts Education Collaborative is pleased to announce that on Monday, April 28, 2008, Edward Albee, three-time Pulitzer prize-winning playwright, will be the keynote speaker for Regional Arts Education Day. Hailed as "the greatest living playwright" by The New Yorker, Edward Albee has been lauded as "one of the eternal innovators" in American drama. Albee is most well-known for his three-act drama, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? In his speaking engagements, Albee continues to describe the power of the arts as a catalyst for change. "The job of the arts," says Albee, "is to hold a mirror up to us and say: 'Look, this is how you really are. If you don't like it, change."

The day's activities will be from 9 am to 3 pm at Soldiers & Sailors National Military Museum Memorial and will focus on how arts education relates to civic engagement. Participants are eligible for 5 ACT 48 hours and the cost for attending is $55 (includes a continental breakfast and lunch). Please see attached flyer for full details.
