Tomorrow night Pulitzer winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks will "perform from her works and lecture publicly at the University of Louisville. Her talk is the 2008 Minx Auerbach lecture in women's and gender studies and a feature of Women's History Month."

The Fort Knox-born writer won her Pulitzer for drama in 2002 for "Topdog/Underdog," the Broadway play that also was presented this year at Actors Theatre of Louisville. "In the Blood," a 2000 Pulitzer finalist, was performed at UofL in 2006.
She co-wrote the screenplay for "The Great Debaters" movie that debuted in December; also in 2007 her project "365 Days/365 Plays" was produced worldwide in more than 700 theaters, including Actors.
