Mandell directs a unique social justice theatre troupe in St. Paul that features Twin Cities youth, with special emphasis on diversity. Several of her theatre students will join her for the Minnesota State Mankato discussion.
Mandell’s lecture, free and open to students, faculty, staff and the public, will be at 7 p.m. in the North Ballroom of Centennial Student Union. It is sponsored by the Department of Communication Studies.
