Join us for USC Open Dialogue: Theatre for Dialogue, an interactive evening where those challenging moments come to life on stage. Through live performances by the USC School of Dramatic Arts, students will encounter realistic situations that do not always have easy answers, then become part of the experience by discussing choices and helping shape what happens next. Together, we’ll explore different perspectives, practice engaging with respect and curiosity, and build the confidence to navigate difficult conversations with greater understanding. More than a performance, it’s a chance to consider how each of us can strengthen a USC community where every voice matters and Trojans approach one another with curiosity, open-mindedness, and care.
