Inspired by Syracuse University’s 150th anniversary, the Department of Drama in the College of Visual and Performing Arts will virtually present the third episode of “Impact: Past, Present, Future,” a new theatrical piece that will be performed live in a series of four staged readings. The final episode will be held on March 22.

Directed by Ricky Pak, assistant professor of acting, “Impact: Past, Present, Future” is an exploration of the history of Syracuse University and an examination of our values as an institution with a focus on diversity and inclusion. Each episode spans 40 years of University history: 1870-1910, 1911-1950, 1951-1990 and 1991-2020 plus 10. The creative team, which includes drama students and alumni, spent the past year exploring archival documents to uncover a rich history filled with high points and low points, triumph and tragedy, humor and pathos. The result is a work that both celebrates the University and compels us to do better.

The series will be presented on Zoom; registration is required. Participants will have an opportunity to take part in a dialogue with the artists.

Participants are also invited to consider a donation to the Felix E. Cochren, Jr. Memorial Scholarship fund, which intends to promote a more diverse student body in the drama department by providing scholarship and financial assistance to current students who are underrepresented in the program.
