Join Tony-nominated actor, playwright and author John Cariani for lunch at the Office for the Arts. Cariani is best known as the playwright of Almost, Maine — which the New York Times called "one of the biggest hits in global theater." His newest work -- Not Quite Almost -- is also a series of Northern Maine stories and is currently in development at Portland Stage in Maine. As an actor on Broadway, Cariani has had leading roles in Caroline, or Change, The Band's Visit and Something Rotten!. On TV, he has been the unwavering forensic expert Julian Beck in Law & Order. In 2014, he earned a Tony Award nomination for his role as Motel the Tailor in the Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof.  Cariani grew up in Presque Isle, Maine, which has been the fictional setting for several of his theatrical works.

This event is offered in partnership by the Office for the Arts Learning From Performers program and Theater, Dance & Media

Capacity: 20. Open to Harvard undergraduates. Register online.
