Fred Rogers Productions

This past Thursday, I was honored to speak about Fred Rogers’ work and ongoing legacy at Chautauqua Institution as part of the lecture series theme “Rising Together: Our Century of Creativity and Collaboration.” A big thank you to Kwame Alexander for the invitation to speak during the same week Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center orchestra performed his seminal work “All Rise.” And thanks to Jordan Steves for his support and expertise both on stage and off. An amazing experience. Fred Rogers Productions
