As Robert resigns himself to live out the rest of his days in an asylum, Brahms attempts to help Clara move on with her life, with varying degrees of success. Providing dark comic relief are Florestan and Eusebius, the hallucinatory demons who only Robert can see. A stunning cast, imaginative direction, and intricate design bring this beautiful, lyrical piece to life.

PWCC's June Virtual Presentation:
The Audacity to Empower Yourself: how to leverage your inner power to create any life you desire - even if you lack the confidence, clarity, or experience.

Tiana S. Clark is the Audacious Commander of her life, always having the audacity to make her own way, defy the odds, and follow her inner wisdom. She empowers women to do the same through her life-changing program, Driver’s Seat; and she empower girls through her Hollywood-award-winning tween web series, Soci Circle.

Tiana S. Clark is a United States Air Force veteran, mom of four, entrepreneur, creator & executive producer, multi-award-winner, wife, teacher, nonprofit founder, world traveler, corporate tech leader, and mentor.

And, yet, she will quickly tell you: "I am NOT superwoman. I am simply a woman who had the audacity to empower HERSELF. Every woman can do the same." Tiana grew up orphaned in the murder capital of the world, and harnessed her innate power to change her trajectory.

She’s climbed the ladder in two Fortune Top 10 corporations over a span of 15 years, leading an international acquisition at Valero Energy Corporation and building the first-ever and best-in-class National Services Sales University at Microsoft. She's created her OWN positions — twice. She's led portfolios of millions and billions in revenue over the years and has liberated herself from so-called “imposter syndrome.”

As a former military intelligence sergeant, she's flown an F-15 fighter jet over England, briefed international generals at the Pentagon, led U.S. war target strategy, and won Airman of the Year - the most prestigious award (meaning she was the #1 airman out of thousands at her UK air base).

With no prior filmmaking experience, she led a hand-picked team of 40+ people to create the Hollywood-award-winning web series, Soci Circle, which empowers tween girls to grow into confident, empathetic, inclusive, and resilient future leaders. Soci Circle has been critically acclaimed as the modern-day Mister Roger’s Neighborhood.

She's a former "at risk" middle school history teacher who set high expectations and empowered her students to exceed them. And, as a nonprofit founder, her organization received an award from Big Brothers Big Sisters for recruiting hundreds of mentors for their long waiting list of underserved youth.

She's a sought-after speaker, panelist, and contributor for the empowerment of women, children, and people of color, including The Tory Burch Foundation, Ladies Get Paid, Upwork, The Urban League, Microsoft, and many more. She's been featured in several publications, including The New York Times, The Economist, and Built-In.

Tiana holds a Master of Science in Educational Leadership and Bachelor of Science in Political Science with a minor in African-American studies.

Throughout, Luciano has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to solving global food challenges, whether it be addressing food security issues amid a global pandemic or reducing greenhouse gas emissions as climate change intensifies. His impact within and beyond ADM is helping to move the food industry toward a more accessible, sustainable and ethical future for customers and consumers alike.

Despite troubled trade negotiations, global trade—and trade policy—will thrive in the twenty-first century, but with a bow to the past. This new volume, <em>Trade in the 21st Century: Back to the Past?</em>, edited by Bernard M. Hoekman and Ernesto Zedillo, assesses the relevance of the WTO in the context of the rise of China and the United States’ turn toward unilateral protectionism. The contributors adopt a historical perspective to discuss changes in global trade policy trends, adducing lessons from the past to help understand current trade tensions.
