Sarah Ruhl sets foot in The Lyric Theatre today as no stranger to the stage. Her more than a dozen original plays include Pulitzer Prize finalists and a Tony Award nominee. Brendan Slocumb has spent his life in performance and education, playing with countless symphonies and passing on his belief in the power of  music through education initiatives. How do these backgrounds in the performing arts translate to writing memoir, essays or literary mysteries? How does one discipline inform the other? And how in the world do they find the time to do it all?

Presenters: Sarah Ruhl & Brendan Slocumb
