“The ability to create worlds outside of our own full of empathy, characters, community, and adventure is fascinating to me," said Dr. Lynn Vartan, director of A.P.E.X. Events. I can’t wait to have a discussion with him and our SUU Library’s Christopher Clark on stage about his career and creative process!”
