Summary

Following the Events of 9/11, theater director Anne Bogart noticed that people were "gravitating with gusto toward one another to converse, to consider, to listen and to discuss substantive issues." She began an initiative at her SITI Company studio in New York, inviting artists and cultural thinkers whom she admired to a series of public conversations before a live audience. These conversations took place over a ten-year period, becoming highly anticipated events with very limited seating. Now for the first time these extraordinary conversations are available to share with a wider audience.
