As part of the Office for the Arts Learning From Performers program, the playwright appeared last Thursday at the Loeb Drama Center, where the American Repertory Theatres (ART) Associate Artistic Director Gideon Lester moderated a discussion with about 150 in attendance. When students from the ART Institute for Advanced Theatre Training took the opportunity to ask him about his 1985 play, A Bright Room Called Day, which they were, coincidentally, opening that night, Kushner was off and running: Philosophy, art, foreign policy, history, and the theaters future were just a few of the topics he touched on.https://dev.news.harvard.edu/gazette/wp-content/uploads/2005/04/32-kushner1-450-2.jpg
