"Frost/Nixon:" A Discussion with the Pro's

Join us for

Bread & Circuses: Politics, Spectacle & Public Memory

What is politics' relationship to pop culture; what is the threshold of public memory; how does myth displace history in the public imagination-and who gets to be a "journalist" in this day and age?

Portland Center Stage, Oregon Council for Humanities and University of Oregon's Turnbull Center invite you to join nationally syndicated radio host THOM HARTMANN, The Oregonian's DAVID SARASOHNand JACK OHMAN, and moderator AL STAVITSKY, director of the University of Oregon's Turnbull Center at the School of Journalism and Communication for BREAD & CIRCUSES: POLITICS, SPECTACLE & PUBLIC MEMORY-a look through the lens of Frost/Nixon that considers how politics and entertainment, power and truth, media, and public memory have been transformed in the intervening years since Watergate.

Presented in conjunction with the opening weekend of Peter Morgan's Frost/Nixon (directed by Rose Riordan) at Portland Center Stage Bread & Circuses: Politics, Spectacle & Public Memory with Thom Hartmann, David Sarasohn, Jack Ohman and Al Stavitsky
