A series of events that celebrates bringing good books to life through adaptation for the stage and screen. This year’s series focuses on the 100th Anniversary of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s American classic, The Great Gatsby. Fitzgerald was a member of Princeton’s Class of 1917.

Director Chuck Schultz and Sharon Washington screen their film When My Sleeping Dragon Woke, a documentary on Washington’s life from a young girl exploring library shelves to a 2023 Tony-nominated playwright. The film is a powerful reminder that creativity can flourish in the most unexpected places. Free and open to the public, no registration required.
