Join Carey Perloff, Artistic Director of San Francisco’s A.C.T. and Lori Starr, Executive Director of The CJM, as they discuss Perloff's latest book "Beautiful Chaos: A Life In the Theater". Ms. Perloff offers a provocative, passionate, and deeply personal view of theater’s role today. Book signing to follow. The event will be held in the exhibition Bound to be Held: A Book Show in the Swig and Dinner Families Gallery at The CJM.
In Beautiful Chaos, Carey Perloff, award-winning playwright, director, and Artistic Director of the American Conservatory Theater, pens a vibrant and revealing memoir of her twenty-plus years at the helm. From reminiscing about her turbulent first few years at A.C.T. to ruminating on the potential for its future, she takes on critical questions about leadership and creative inspiration. She delivers an impassioned manifesto for the role of live theater in today’s world, with a special emphasis, of course, on San Francisco, where A.C.T.’s new theater The Strand soon joins tech neighbors like Twitter in the mid-Market neighborhood. (The Strand’s ribbon-cutting is Thursday, May 14th at 11am.)
