In keeping with our focus on “Recovery and Resilience” in Studio and beyond, the first co-curricular of the semester will be The Arboretum Experience, a multi-media, site-specific, theatrical excursion to the Arnold Arboretum, a gorgeous museum of living trees. Additionally, on October 19 at 7 pm, members of the creative and production teams, as well as the Director of the Arboretum, will come to Kilachand for a panel discussion. Each event will count as one co-curricular.
