$15 per person includes wine, hors d’oeuvres, and reserved seating

Then get ready for an entertaining and energizing evening as Rice welcomes renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks as part of the President’s Lecture Series. But if you expect her to give a typical writer-behind-the-podium lecture, think again. Her talks, often referred to by audiences as "The Suzan-Lori Parks Show," are part performance, part storytelling, and always high-energy with an inspired sense of humor. Parks, author of the much acclaimed novel Getting Mother’s Body and numerous stage plays for Oprah Winfrey, Brad Pitt, Spike Lee, and Denzel Washington, will read from her work and discuss how art can be a force for positive world change.
