Ira Glass comes to Lynchburg, VA for an emotional and thought-provoking performance of his captivating stage show Seven Things I’ve Learned, sponsored by BWX Technologies, Inc., Baird, IWT, and WVTF. Using audio clips, music and video, Ira will share the personal stories of Americans from all walks of life and deliver a unique talk on the lessons he’s learned during his career as a storyteller.

 

Ira Glass is the host and creator of the public radio program This American Life, heard each week by over 2.2 million listeners on more than 500 public radio stations, with another 2.5 million downloading each podcast. He’s also one of the editors of the podcasts Serial and S-Town.

 

During this presentation, Ira will mix stories live onstage, showcasing his creative process for the audience. Audience members will learn what inspires him to create, what drives the work he does and how success and failure has impacted his career and life decisions.

THOUGH OUR DOORS MAY BE CLOSED, THE ARTS WILL BRING US TOGETHER AGAIN, SOON.

It has been nearly two months since the Academy Center of the Arts closed our doors to the public in response to COVID-19. While this decision was not an easy one to make at the time, we did so knowing that the arts run deep through the veins of our City, and that when able, the arts would bring us all together again. 

Our latest video, produced by Watts Creative Studios, is a note of hope for our patrons and supporters. While our doors may be closed, our lights are on, our blade burns bright, and our marquee remains lit.
 
We’ll see you again, soon.
