Award winning experimental theater artists Holly Hughes (one of the NEA Four) and Katie Pearl are building a new performance about the Supreme Court and sexual violence and plan to premiere the piece in the fall of 2026. In this CAS/MillerComm event, they will present a performative lecture about censorship, collaboration, the creative process, and why our dangerous cultural moment needs this work.
