Between 1975-1979, four major theater companies were created in Evanston, three of which still exist today. An additional 25 theater companies have come and gone. Join <strong>Gloria Bond Clunie,</strong> Founding Artistic Director of Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre, <strong>BJ Jones</strong>, Artistic Director of Northlight Theatre, and <strong>Jennifer Green</strong>, Artistic Director of Piven Theatre, together with theater scholar and author <strong>Mark Larson</strong> and others, as they reflect back on the memories, movements, people, and productions that shaped Evanston theater. We'll also discuss what this means for theater in Evanston today, 50 years later.

Conversation followed by reception. Co-hosted by Tim Rhoze, Artistic Director of Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre.
