Discussions Be curious: ask a question, get an insider's view, learn the story behind the story at our discussion series. Open to all, no ticket required. Community Conversations: Audience and artists come together to share reflections and responses immediately following select Saturday evening performances. Sneak Peeks: Good conversation is combined with good food on select Thursdays (starting at 6 p.m.), as artists, writers, and thinkers offer insight and a behind-the-scenes peek into our exciting productions. Art & Society: This new series explores the vital role of the arts in illuminating contemporary social and political issues. "The learning and sharing before the show makes the total experience so much richer ... we look forward to the talk as much as we do the show!" —Sandy Levine, Resident, Four Seasons at Great Notch Enhance your visit to the Alexander Kasser Theater!

Inset: Photo by Mike Peters for Montclair State University "Peak Performances helps to open windows for teaching in several disciplines. Students benefit from the thematic and conceptual connections across the humanities and sciences. What's more, the preparation for attending a performance and related discussions assists in developing skills for critical thinking, writing, philosophical inquiry and reasoning." —Dr. Chris Parker, Classics and General Humanities 54 www.peakperfs.org Engage!
