On Stage with On Grace: Religion, Redemption and Politics

March 12, 2013
9:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. EDT
Location: Davis Performing Arts Center Gonda Theatre Map

As part of the week-long residency centered around the continued development of her work in progress On Grace, Anna Deavere Smith participated in a panel discussion with Professor E.J. Dionne, Imam Mohamed Majid, and Michael D. McCurry. The panel discussed the concept of "grace" as it is understood by different faiths, and as it operates—or not—in politics.

The residency, which culminated in a March 18 staged reading of On Grace, was sponsored by the Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics, a joint initiative of the Theater and Performance Studies Program and the School of Foreign Service.

This symposium was co-sponsored by the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs and the Mortara Center for International Studies.
