Alan MacVey Theatre, Theatre Building
Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2023 - 7:30 p.m.

Students from the UI Department of Theatre Arts bring the page to life in an evening of staged readings of work by the IWP (International Writing Program) Fall Residents.

Global Express is a unique opportunity for writers from around the world and performers here at Iowa to meet and work together, and then to present their work live on stage at the University. As political issues continue to challenge the international social fabric, initiatives like Global Express (now, amazingly, in its 23rd year!) help us to recognize our common humanity while celebrating our differences. The Express, part dramatic reading, part solo-turn, part poetry slam, makes stops around the globe, "expressing" our common need for connection, empathy, and delight in each other. All Aboard! 

Please be advised that this reading may contain foul language, potentially disturbing imagery, and death.
