May 26 -- Brandon Victor Dixon will share experiences and material from his acclaimed career on stage, including The Scottsboro Boys, and his growing body of work making his own music. June 2 -- Nicky Silver, the Vineyard's most-produced playwright, in conversation about his work (including such celebrated plays as Pterodactyls, Raised in Captivity, and The Lyons) and his longtime collaboration with the company, joined by special guest artists.
