Kushner talks Arthur Miller, Zach's cool School Musical is back, and AIPP teaches you how to make permanent public art

• In conjunction with the Ransom Center exhibition "Rehearsing the American Dream: Arthur Miller's Theater," Pulitzer Prize-winner Tony Kushner and fellow playwright and UT theatre professor Steven Dietz will discuss Miller's career and legacy on Thursday, Oct. 18, 7pm, at Jessen Auditorium, UT campus. The talk, co-sponsored by the Ransom Center and the UT College of Fine Arts, is free, but tickets are required. You can get two – and only two – by calling 471-7506, beginning at 9am Tuesday, Sept. 18.

• The Zachary Scott Theatre Center had a monster hit with Disney's High School Musical this summer, so big that the theatre is bringing it back for fall. All but three of the 30 cast members will be returning to the Texas School for the Deaf for the reprise, which runs Sept. 28-Oct. 28. Get your tickets now; your tween will thank you. For more information, call 476-0541 or visit www.zachscott.com.

Art in Public Places will host a free public art workshop, From Paper to Permanence: Translating Your Design Into Durability, Wednesday, Sept. 19, 7-9pm, in Room 1029 of City Hall, 301 W. Second. Artist Deborah Mersky will discuss durable, architecturally viable alternatives to studio materials and translating work into the public realm.
