Legendary actress, dancer, and singer, Rita Moreno is a true Hollywood and Broadway legend having been honored and recognized for her acclaimed performances during her more than 80 year career. She has won all four of the most prestigious awards in show business: an Oscar, a Tony, two Emmys, and a Grammy. 

In collaboration with Alumni and Family Engagement’s ReMix in the Arts, join us on stage for this captivating interview with Brad Frenette, Assistant Professor of Music Theatre.

Moreno’s countless credits span more than eight decades, beginning with her Broadway debut at age 13. 

Moreno has starred on Broadway and London’s West End, appeared in more than 40 feature films, including Anita in the 1961 West Side Story, and Steven Spielberg’s 2021 remake of West Side Story, countless television shows, and has performed in numerous regional theaters including her one woman show, Life Without Makeup at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. She continues to tour the country appearing at speaking engagements and lectures.

The Vail Series was endowed in 1979 by a generous gift from the late Mary and Foster McGaw in honor of Jeanne Vail, class of 1946. Just as it was intended to do, the Series enriches the artistic experience of the entire Denison community. Programmed creatively with the mindful pursuit of learning across traditional academic boundaries, more than 100 individual Vail Series artists have found their way to Denison’s classrooms and stages, but that doesn’t include the dozens of ensembles or full symphony orchestras that have played here over the years.

PLEASE NOTE: DENISON MAIN ENTRANCE CLOSED 

Presidents’ Drive is closed to facilitate the renovation and expansion of Doane Hall. It will reopen before classes begin in August.
