In harmony with other venues on the UC Davis campus and across
the state of California, The Arts departments are committed to
providing as safe an experience as possible to our greater
community—and will do so until state or county guidelines are
lifted.
There are three ways for you to attend, regardless of whether or
not the event is ticketed.
Professor L.M. Bogad, chair of the Theatre & Dance
Department and member of the Performance Studies Graduate Group,

Memorial Foundation. Bogad received his fellowship for his
achievements in the category of Theatre Arts and Performance
Studies.
American Theatre Magazine has spotlighted Professor L.M.
Bogad, chair of theatre and dance, for his efforts as an activist
clown during the 2020 presidential election. In an article
titled “Send in the Activist Clowns,” writer Nicole Gluckstern

theatre to provoke laughter and political introspection
nationwide.
