The Martin E. Segal Theatre Center invited American and French theatre artists—writers, directors, actors—and scholars who collaborated in France or the United States to create Carte Blanche. This series features several dialogues, staged readings, performances, and a Translation ThinkTank.

This program is made possible with the partnership and the support of Martin E. Segal Theatre Center, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in New York, AFAA, the Henri Peyre French Institute, the Ph.D. Program in French, and The Graduate Center, CUNY.
