Special Projects

 

In addition to ongoing regular programming, Oregon Humanities occasionally offers public lectures, panels, and reading and discussion series in communities around the state. We also work in partnership with other organizations to offer this type of programming.

Four Questions: Virtue, Community, Love, and Justice in the Theater
Gerding Theater at the Armory, Portland, April 2008

A series of lively conversations about questions that have inspired and confounded great thinkers and writers through the ages, presented in cooperation with Portland Center Stage.

Over the course of four weeks, registered participants, led by facilitators, discussed four questions using scenes from four plays: Spinning into Butter by Rebecca Gilman, The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, How I Learned to Drive by Paula Vogel, and Radio Golf by August Wilson.

Four Questions is based on OCH’s Humanity in Perspective, a free public course in the humanities for low-income adults.
