Part of Hancher's Infinite Dream festival

Writer/performer Aaron Pang is an MFA candidate in the University of Iowa’s Nonfiction Writing Program. His in-development thesis, Herein Lies the Truth, traverses a range of disciplines: creative nonfiction, stand-up comedy, and theatre arts. The work also reckons with complex questions about disability, race, and sexuality. The conversation will include a short presentation of work-in-progress as well as a conversation with faculty members from Pang’s thesis committee—Christopher-Rasheem McMillan (Dance, Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies) and Tisa Bryant (Nonfiction Writing Program)—and producing artistic director Adam Knight of Riverside Theatre where the final work will premiere in April 2024.  

FREE and OPEN to the public  

General admission seating begins at 4:30 p.m.
