Lunch Mixer and a Walkthrough of the Kabuki in Hawaiʻi Exhibit

On Friday, March 15, 2024, CJS held a lunch mixer at the Tokioka Room for graduate students, faculty, and staff. Attendees were in for a special treat after lunch: Dr. Julie Iezzi, Professor of Theatre and CJS faculty member, and her student, Jane Traynor, Ph.D. candidate in Asian Theatre, led everyone to the East-West Center Gallery where they gave a special tour of the Kabuki in Hawai‘i: Connections through Time and Space exhibition. We highly recommend you go see it!
