In Celebration of the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of Walt Whitman
OSCAR & WALT by Donald Steven Olson, directed by Dan Berkowitz,
  featuring Robert McCormick, Nick Giedris, Alyssa Simon


Monday, January 6
8:00 PM

Cultures clash, egos flare, words fly and secrets emerge as Walt Whitman and Oscar Wilde, two of the greatest writers of the 19th century - one nearing the end of his career, the other just beginning - come face-to-face in Donald Steven Olson’s new play re-creating an actual encounter that took place in 1882 between 62-year-old Whitman and 28-year-old Wilde. Winner of the 2019 “Best Full-Length Play” award from the Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights/ City of West Hollywood Pride Reading Festival, Oscar & Walt premiered in Rome in October 2019 in a production by the English Theatre of Rome.
