  • Spring Lecture Series

This Spring, we are showcasing theaters in the Yale-New Haven community and we will explore their histories, successes, obstacles and exciting plans for the future.  The New Haven community is home to many dedicated and successful theaters and we are fortunate to hear from representatives of five outstanding organizations.  The lectures will be held from 10:30 to Noon at the Yale West Campus Conference Center.(directions below) We hope you will stay for lunch at the cafeteria to continue discussions with the presenters. The fee for the Series is $65.  Should you, as a member, wish to bring a friend (who might consider joining YUWO?) the cost would be $10 for a session.  The YUWO Lecture Series is the primary fundraiser for the Scholarship Program.
