This Thursday, legendary actor and comedian Robin Williams will sit down in Memorial Chapel to be interviewed by Jeanine Basinger, Chair of Film Studies, and Wally Hays ’10, the head of the Beta Lecture Series, who managed, through a family connection, to persuade Williams to visit campus.

Tickets ($10) were available at the Usdan Box Office starting at 10:00 a.m. this morning. The interview, sponsored by Beta, will begin at 4 pm and run for about an hour — or, at least, until when Williams leaves to catch his flight, Hays said.

Proceeds will go to a local charity.
