The Art of a Career

Add to Calendar 2026-02-15 17:00:00 2026-03-14 08:31:15 The Art of a Career The Department of Theatre Arts and School of Music invite you to join the instrumental guest artists in the spring musical Fun Home band for a panel discussion, Q & A, and open rehearsal. Guests Mason Hargrove (guitarist), Dean Schmidt (bassist), and James Doyle (percussionist) will talk about their professional career journeys and offer insights about making a life as an artist. The panel discussion, "The Art of a Career," is at 5 p.m. with an open rehearsal following at 6 p.m. with the full band.  Fun Home is the spring musical being presented and co-produced by the Department of Theatre Arts and the School of Music featuring two casts.  It is a refreshingly honest, emotional, and revolutionary Tony Award-winning musical based on Alison Bechdel’s groundbreaking graphic memoir of the same name. The story follows Alison at three ages as she interrogates the past, navigates her own queerness, finds her creative voice, and re-sees her parents through adult eyes. This beautifully constructed story and score continue to resonate with audiences.        Show Dates and Times Thursday, Feb. 26, at 7:30 p.m. (Cast Alison)Friday, Feb. 27, at 7:30 p.m. (Cast Bechdel)Saturday, Feb. 28, at 7:30 p.m. (Cast Alison)Sunday, March 1, at 2 p.m. (Cast Bechdel)Thursday, March 5, at 7:30 p.m. (Cast Bechdel)Friday, March 6, at 7:30 p.m. (Cast Alison)Saturday, March 7, at 7:30 p.m. (Cast Bechdel)Sunday, March 8, at 2 p.m. (Cast Alison)  Get tickets at tickets.pugetsound.edu Location School of Music Outreach and Events schoolofmusic@pugetsound.edu support@kwallcompany.com America/Los_Angeles public
