Starting October 17 and running through October 28, the Theatre program will be performing Anon(ymous) by Naomi Iizuka, which adapts Homer’s Odyssey as a contemporary commentary on immigration. The play is directed by Katherine Hammond. There are both evening and weekend matinee performances. It will be at the Goode Theatre. Evening performances start at 7:30 PM and weekend matinees at 2:30 PM.
Before the October 18 show, which starts at 7:30 PM, we are hosting a panel discussion from 6:15-7:15 PM with scholars and activists working on refugee-related efforts in the Tidewater Area. Confirmed participants include Dr. Jennifer Fish (Chair of Women’s Studies), Dr. Regina Karp (director of Interna- tional Studies), and Debra Sewe of Catholic Charities. I have also invited Immigration attorney Radlyn Men- doza as well as asked Norfolk City Council Woman Andria McClellan to moderate.
