What makes a monster…a monster?
Emmy-nominated actress Jackie Hoffman will moderate a panel including Roy Schwartz, award-winning author of Is Superman Circumcised?, and pop culture writer for The Forward and CNN; award-winning multimedia producers and co-writers of The Writer with Josh Gad, The Berkowitz Brothers; and Broadway actor Laird MacKintosh, known for The Phantom of the Opera, as, together, they explore the wild world of monsters in literature, TV, movies, books, and pop culture.
From folklore’s beasts to today’s lovable yet terrifying misfits, they will examine how these creatures reflect our fears, flaws, and humanity.
Jackie Hoffman was Emmy-nominated for her role in Feud: Betty and Joan, and known for Only Murders in the Building, Night Court, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. On Broadway, Jackie co-starred in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Addams Family, and Hairspray. Her solo album Live at Joes Pub is available for streaming.
