Participating events will benefit from the promotional support of the broader initiative.The campaign’s flagship event will take place in New York, with a starry reading and discussion hosted by The Public Theater, the home of Hamilton, A Chorus Line, and Shakespeare in the Park. The event continues a Public Theater tradition that began in 2013, bringing actors together with artists, writers, and thinkers to read Wilder’s play and explore its themes of time, family, tradition, life, and death.Presented by the Office of Advancement and the Drama Department. This event is free and open to the public.Reservations required: email boxoffice@vassar.edu or call (845) 437-5599.]]></description><author>jogerardi@vassar.edu (Joan Gerardi)</author><category>Play</category><pubDate>Sat, 14 Nov 2026 19:00:00 GMT</pubDate><link>https://vas.emscloudservice.com/calendar/EventDetails.aspx?data=hHr80o3M7J7Cm2waFu53r222bDnpVoDYJz8SDUMmj%2bTCS8qM6L5xoRNe6yRmntQU</link><guid>https://vas.emscloudservice.com/calendar/EventDetails.aspx?data=hHr80o3M7J7Cm2waFu53r222bDnpVoDYJz8SDUMmj%2bTCS8qM6L5xoRNe6yRmntQU</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I Never Asked for a Gofundme]]></title><description xml:space="preserve"><![CDATA[ 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM - Hallie Flanagan Davis Powerhouse Theater Black Box Theater Dec. 3–Dec. 5, 2026, 2 p.m. Matinee on December 5, 2026Location: Powerhouse TheaterBy Jayne DeelyThis production is made through special arrangements with The Michael Moore Agency.Sponsored in part by the E.J.
