Neil Labute in film and theater
July 19th   |   4:45pm   |   Frank Center Lawn
Ann Hornaday is Writer and Film Critic for the Washington Post and Baltimore Sun. Join us as she “covers” the work of Neil LaBute and discusses the similarities and differences in his writing for stage and screen.
“Hornaday offers something different. Rather than treating film reverently, solely as an art form, Hornaday approaches it as a beat, a subject to be covered.” —Baltimore Living
