Health care workers are invited to join a Zoom webinar on Sunday, May 24, at 7 p.m., featuring dramatic readings of ancient Greek plays, by celebrity actors Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network, Zombieland); Frances McDormand (Fargo, Almost Famous); Frankie Faison (The Wire, The Good Wife); and David Strathairn (The Bourne Ultimatum, Lincoln).

Following the readings, panelists of health care workers from Johns Hopkins Medicine will discuss how the content of the plays resonated, in light of their experiences providing care during the pandemic.

By presenting these plays and discussion, the two-hour event aims to demonstrate the healing and transformative power of the arts and forge connections, resilience, and positive action within the health care community.

The event is sponsored by the Johns Hopkins University Program in Arts, Humanities and Health; the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics; and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
