Playwright Edward Albee will present “An Evening with Edward Albee: Improvisation and the Creative Mind.” Perhaps best known for his play Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, for which he won a Tony Award, Albee has won three Pulitizer Prizes—the first for A Delicate Balance in 1966, the second for Seascape in 1975, and the most recent for Three Tall Women in 1994. He also won a Tony Award for The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? in 2002, and in 2005, he was awarded a Tony for Lifetime Achievement in Theatre. Albee is the only playwright other than Arthur Miller to receive this honor.

Albee's plays challenge and provoke. While examining American values and complacency, they treat timeless subjects as well. Albee says that his plays "confront being alive and how to behave with the awareness of death. Every one of my plays is an act of optimism, because I make the assumption that it is possible to communicate with other people."

Free and open to the public.
Seating limited and is first-come, first served.

In preparation for Albee's visit, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? will be screened on Sunday, November 11, at 7pm, in the Kerr McGee Auditorium of the Meinders School of Business. The film is free and open to the public.
