We’re thrilled to partner again with Ann Ciccolella of Austin Shakespeare, who will direct the actors, and Shoshana Milgram, an expert on Ayn Rand’s writings, who selected and adapted the scenes. Among the scenes to be performed is one adapted from Rand’s own television script for Atlas Shrugged. (This event will showcase different scenes from those performed for ARI’s gala in October.)

The dramatic reading will be followed by a brief Q&A with the actors, Ms. Ciccolella and Dr. Milgram, and then a “virtual brunch” (breakout rooms hosted by several of our scholars and staff members). At the end of our program, you’re welcome to stay on for a free-form hangout.
