The Making of the 'Birth of the Stars'

What happens when a UC Santa Cruz astronomer meets a playwright on the garden path of faculty housing? A wildly successful collaboration of the arts and sciences.

Join us for a behind the curtain look at an original theatrical production that explored the life of the stars and those that gaze up at them. Be our guest for a reception with our presenters and campus leadership followed by an engaged panel discussion with:

Michael Chemers and Jim Bierman, Theater Arts 
Mark Krumholz, Astronomy and Astrophysics
John Weber, Institute of the Arts and Science

Reception at 6:00 PM
