A conversation with "Severance" creator and Western alum Dan Erickson

Join a conversation with Dan Erickson moderated by Theatre and Dance Department Chair Rich Brown. The discussion will be followed by Q & A with the audience.

The event is free and open to the public.

At Western, Erickson wrote “Convention,” a play he directed with Abe Manion, ’08, B.A., theatre, with STP (Student Theatre Productions) staged in the Old Main Theatre. A decade later, some of the elements would make their way into the pilot for “Severance.”
