Barnard College Center for Research on Women Begins Fall Season

The Center for Research on Women at Barnard college opens its 2002 fall season on Thursday, September 12, at 7p.m., with a performance by Sarah Jones, an internationally acclaimed poet and actor, who will pay tribute to immigrants, including victims of the 9-11 terrorist attack in Waking the American Dream, a one-woman show.

Waking the American Dream, a moving collage of the hopes and struggles of ten diverse immigrants to the U.S., portrays the victories and losses of those who arrive in America to pursue a dream. Jones reminds us how elusive that dream can be and shows a moving portrait of diversity in America.

After her performance, Jones will discuss her work with theater scholar and critic Jonathan Kalb, in a forum of how dramatic arts heighten social consciousness and activism.#
