A Conversation with Spike Lee
You may also be interested in attending Lee's on-stage conversation with noted author and musician James McBride on February 12 at 7 PM in Mershon Auditorium. McBride gained fame for The Color of Water (1996), his classic memoir about growing up in a biracial Brooklyn family led by his remarkable mother, a rabbi's daughter who married an African American preacher. Lee's next film (currently in production) is based on Miracle at St. Anna, McBride's acclaimed first novel. Its story is a panoramic yet intimate tale about four African American soldiers in Italy during World War II and how their wartime experiences shape their later lives.

Members at the Sponsor ($250) level and above--and so all Donor Circles members--are also invited to a private reception following the conversation. Wexner Center members at all levels have the first chance to secure tickets to the conversation (up to two per membership) and can reserve seats by calling (614) 292-3535 by February 3. Public ticket sales begin Monday, February 4, subject to availability. Reservations for the reception are also very limited and should be made at the time of ticket purchase.
