In partnership with the Library of Congress, the Roshan Institute for Persian Studies commissioned the exhibition “A Thousand Years of the Persian Book,” presenting to the region the rich artistic and literary history of Persian culture. The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center partnered with MilkBoy to announce “MilkBoy+Art House,” a community-minded performing arts venue that will feature artists from The Clarice’s Artist Partner Programs, emerging student talent and local art makers from the greater College Park community. The School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies partnered with the Big Ten Theatre Consortium to commission and produce original plays that highlight the work of female playwrights and serve as effective tools for teaching. The first play, “Good Kids,” inspired by a notorious rape case in Steubenville, Ohio, debuted at UMD’s The Clarice.
