Frank Doelger, Executive Producer of Game of Thrones, John Adams, and Rome, talks about his career journey on Thu, April 25, 7pm at the ’62 Center.

When Doelger left Williams College, he had no idea where his life and career would take him, let alone how his encounters with a liberal arts education might inform his journey. In conversation with Rhon Manigault-Bryant, Frank will reflect on over thirty years in the film and television industries. Join us for a wide-ranging conversation about fantasy, artistic inspiration, the collaborative nature of creating, and the uncanny pathways back to ones beginnings.

Tickets are free but required.
