“Treme” creators David Simon and Eric Overmeyer and actor Clarke Peters (who portrays “Albert Lambeaux”) will join a panel of Tulane professors for a discussion of the HBO series at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28.
” ‘Treme’ follows musicians, chefs, Mardi Gras Indians and ordinary New Orleanians as they try to rebuild their lives, their homes and their unique culture in the aftermath of the 2005 hurricane and levee failure that caused the near-death of an American city,” the university writes in the event announcement. ” ‘Treme’ is being used by some Tulane professors to enhance their curricula and provide students with a contemporary supplement that is a springboard for class discussion.”
The discussion will be held at 213 Kendall Cram Lecture Hall, Lavin-Bernick Center for University Life.
