Events

Join FASPE in an engaging program of networking, panelists, and discussion. This year’s program will include a screening of the film Dark Waters, a riveting legal/business drama starring Mark Ruffalo that is based on a true story. The film raises key questions of professional ethics. We are grateful and excited to welcome Tom Terp, portrayed in the film by Tim Robbins, the senior partner of the large law firm that took on a complicated case. He will share more with us regarding how he dealt with difficult ethical issues within his firm and the justice system, itself. Additionally, Tectonic Theatre will present a reading of The Album, or Here There are Blueberries, a play that explores the discovery of an album of photographs of Auschwitz officers at “play,” at a spa only 30 kilometers from Auschwitz, and challenges us to consider the very nature of the perpetrators—who they are. At the 2019 reunion, FASPEans participated in the early workshopping stages of the project, and this year, we will have the opportunity to view the next stage of the process, a draft finished product!

More speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.

Please RSVP by January 31, 2020. Click here to register.
