American playwright’s unproduced work to be explored during Bluffton Colloquium

Dr. Melissa Friesen will present the Colloquium “Tina Howe’s Unproduced Plays” at 4:00 p.m. on January 20 in Centennial Hall’s Stutzman Lecture Hall on the campus of Bluffton University.

During the presentation, Friesen will share discoveries from the collection of contemporary American playwright Tina Howe archived at Harvard University. Evidence from Howe’s writing notes, unpublished plays, letters and essays illuminate Howe’s writing process and her understanding of playwrights as “strip-tease artists of the soul.”   

This event is free and open to the public.

Dr. Friesen is the Mary Nord Ignat and Joseph Ignat Professor of Theatre and Communication at Bluffton.
