About
Artists, activists and scholars debate what makes a classic—and why the question matters now.
Court Theatre opens its annual convening with a town-hall discussion asking what counts as a classic and why interpretation matters now. Scheduled in the wake of the 2026 midterms, the event brings artists, activists and scholars into the same timely conversation.
