New & Noted: Ayad Akhtar

Ayad Akhtar is an acclaimed playwright and novelist known for sharp, intelligent drama that explores identity, culture, and the American experience. "New & Noted" is a literary and arts event series featuring prominent writers discussing their work. Families attending should expect an engaging talk format—likely a conversation or Q&A about Akhtar's recent writing. This is best suited for older teens and adults interested in contemporary literature and theater; younger children may find the intellectual focus less engaging.
