Theatrical Stargazing: Art and Science in Brecht's "Galileo"

Description

Explore the nexus of art and science—Abraham Stoll, the director of the Johns Hopkins University's Theatre Arts and Studies Program, will discuss the program's 2024 Spring production of Brecht's Galileo with James Glossman, the play's director, and Marco Chiaberge, an astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute and research scientist in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

This behind-the-scenes look, including rehearsal footage filmed in the John Astin Theatre in the Merrick Barn on the Homewood campus, offers insight into the historical and political context of the play, the contemporary imagery provided by the Space Telescope Science Institute used in the play's unique stage design, and future plans for the Theatre Arts and Studies program.

Please attend the event via the Hopkins at Home livestream.
