Attendees may park for free on the top deck of the Peachtree Battle

 Actress Brenda Bynum is well-known to Atlanta

audiences, since she has worked and performed at most of Atlanta’s professional theaters, including

The Alliance Theatre.  She was a Resident

Artist at Theater Emory and member of the faculty of the Department of Theater

Studies at Emory from 1983 until her retirement in 2000.  She co-founded Atlanta’s first theater run exclusively by

women (Callanwolde Theater, 1977-1984), and has developed over a dozen

performance pieces featuring the lives of extraordinary women.  She will perform a new piece as part of the

Mitchell Speaker Series based on the life of Georgia human rights advocate

Lillian Smith, author of “Strange Fruit”.
