The Alliance Theatre is partnering with the Emory Center for Ethics to present a series of post-show dialogues after select performances of EVERYBODY.

Hosted by Atlanta-based comics David Perdue, Lace Larrabee, and Katherine Blanford, each dialogue invites a guest philosopher to talk about the meaning of life, our relationship to death, and everything in-between.  

Join us at the North Alcove Bar for some seriously funny conversation with theologians and interfaith leaders, ethicists and philosophers, therapists and love gurus.

The drinking is optional. The laughing is not.  

Please click here for times and dates of the selected shows.

You can read Carlton Mackey's brilliant response to the play here.

About the play: Everybody is a happy person, a free person, a person who believes nothing but the best lies ahead. Then Death comes calling, and Everybody must go on a journey to find what has had lasting significance in his lifetime. EVERYBODY is written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and co-directed by Susan V. Booth and Tinashe Kajese-Bolden.

Recommended for audiences aged 14 years and up.

Virtual Panel Discussion: 

Thursday, September 15, 2022
3:00–4:00pm EDT

IEEE Brain and the International Neuroethics Society are holding a 1-hour panel discussion on the award-winning documentary, ‘The Father of the Cyborgs’ at 3:00pm EDT on September 15, 2022. The discussion will explore the various technological and ethical issues raised in the film and address questions submitted by participants.

Before the virtual panel, you can watch this fascinating film about a troubled pioneer of brain computer interfaces who ended up having a chip implanted in his own brain, and hear an expert panel, including Paul Root Wolpe (who is in the film!) discuss Dr. Kennedy and his work. 

“The film presents a portrait of Dr. Phil Kennedy, a brilliant yet divisive figure who made global headlines in the 1990s for implanting wire electrodes in the brain of a paralyzed man and, more recently, for traveling to South America to have electrodes implanted inside his own brain in order to continue his research.”

Panelists include:

• Paul Root Wolpe, Emory University
• Amy Orsborn, University of Washington
• Nathan Copeland, Brain Computer Interface User and Neurotechnology Consultant
• Moderator: Anna Wexler, University of Pennsylvania

Please note: the panel discussion webinar will not include a viewing of the film, but registrants will have access to view the film online on their own two weeks before and two weeks after the webinar.

Ethics and Equity Dialogue: What is Community? With and For Whom Do We Struggle for Justice?

Register Now for one of our most popular event series honoring the work and memory of Dr. James W. Fowler, the first full-time director of the Emory University Center for Ethics.

Ethics and Equity Dialogue: What is Community? With and For Whom Do We Struggle for Justice?

This year we encourage your engagement - whether you live in Atlanta, Los Angeles, or Seoul. Partnering with Out of Hand Theater, the Ethics and Equity Dialogue leads us to explore the how we understand community as well as potential tensions between different parts of our identities. The event will feature an original, short play by playwright Amina McIntyre, a panel discussion, and facilitated, small-group conversation, over dinner. 

This will be a “hybrid” event.  We plan to welcome some of our participants in person on the Emory campus for the evening, and others will join us virtually. For those joining remotely, we hope you will consider hosting your own dialogue group, perhaps around dinner.  

Note: We will provide facilitator guides supporting meaningfully participation in the discussion of community and justice.
