Take part in a conversation following select performances of The Normal Heart with guest
panelists. The panels will explore how HIV/AIDS is represented in the media and in the arts as well as how the virus continues to affect gay men, women, senior citizens, youth and people of color both nationally and in the Washington metro area. Panel discussions are held in the Molly Smith Study and are free and open to the public.
Tuesday, July 10 following the 7:30 p.m. performance:
