The Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ lecture with Laverne Cox, scheduled for February 4, has been cancelled by her agent. Ms. Cox has been offered a unique film opportunity and while we are disappointed that the community will not benefit from the discussion generated by her lecture, we are excited for her continued success. As arts and education programmers we understand that this is a risk we take when inviting internationally known voices to our community.

As a ticket holder you have the option to:

Laverne Cox, an outspoken transgender advocate, is the first trans-woman to produce and star in her own television show, TRANSform Me, appear on the cover of TIME magazine and be nominated for an Emmy. She is also the first trans-woman of color to have a leading role on a mainstream scripted television show, Orange is the New Black. She inspires people to consider moving beyond gender expectations to live more authentically.

The 2015–2016 Lecture Series is sponsored by Jane P. Watkins. Wood River High School student lecture series tickets have been made possible with support from Robin Leavitt and Terry Friedlander.
