Join us on Saturday, July 12, for an afternoon in the LAB benefiting the Innovation Fund. The afternoon will start with a special reading of Jubilee, inspired by Scott Joplin’s Treemonisha and the first of the Fisher Center LAB’s Civis Hope Commissions. This work-in-progress reading of a libretto by Suzan-Lori Parks will begin with remarks from Parks and Fisher Center Artistic Director and Chief Executive Gideon Lester. The afternoon will continue with a hard hat tour of the Performing Arts Lab studio building designed by Maya Lin, with a reception in the picturesque 1916 Ward Manor House.
