Theatre Historian to Speak about LGBT Students
Theater historian Bob Schanke will be presenting “Passing and Covering: Good Choices for LGBT Students?” tomorrow night, Wednesday, April 23rd, at 7 p.m. in Brookens Auditorium.
Schanke recently commented that “the issues of passing and/or covering are very, very pertinent and have been used in writing about the recent murder of teenager Lawrence King. Everyone knew he was gay, but some people were bothered and violently opposed to his wearing high heel shoes and earrings to school. He refused to cover!”
The evening promises to be an engaging presentation, followed by a question and answer and discussion session. A reception with Dr. Schanke will follow the public lecture and discussion. The discussion is part of the UIS ECCE Speaker Series.
