The McNay Art Museum proudly welcomes Oskar Eustis, artistic director of The Public Theater in New York City, as its speaker for the annual Tobin Distinguished Lecture.
Eustis’ lecture, “Shakespeare, Our Contemporary?”, will delve into the many ways that theater artists have used Shakespeare to meet their own historical moment and how they are doing so today. From Shakespeare in the Park to the Mobile Unit, which tours to prisons and halfway houses, Eustis will look at the various ways The Public’s Shakespeare work meets its audience.
The lecture is organized in conjunction with the McNay’s current exhibition, Designing Shakespeare through the Ages. This lecture is a program of The Tobin Theatre Arts Fund.
While this event is sold out, we invite you to watch the Tobin Distinguished Lecture live on our YouTube channel. Please email info@mcnayart.org to receive the livestream link, which will be emailed on June 12.
For more information about your in-person tickets or the event, please contact education@mcnayart.org or call (210) 805-1768.
