Emma LaPlace\, will raise the curtain on plays that put mathematics in t he spotlight. Join Dr. LaPlace as she explores how mathematics is portraye d and represented in theatrical productions. Part lecture\, part performan ce\, this presentation will bring the scripts to life\, and move math from the page to the stage.\n\n\nSpeaker's bio: \nDr. Emma LaPlace is an Assis tant Professor of Mathematics at Albertus Magnus College in New Haven\, Co nnecticut\, where she also teaches Drama. Her research focuses on the inte rsection of mathematics and theater. Dr. LaPlace was a double-major in Mat hematics and Drama during her undergraduate studies at Vassar College\, an d earned her PhD from Columbia University. Dr. LaPlace has acted professio nally at theaters across Connecticut. Her recent published works can be se en in Mathematical Association of America Focus\, and International Journa l of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology. She performed her o ne-woman show/lecture\, Mathdramatics: Math on Stage\, at the 2026 Interna tional Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia. She has served as a mat h/theater consultant\, and is currently collaborating with the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences for the 2026 Year of Math (you can find her monthly Math on Stage videos on theyearofmath.org). Her Instagram is @mathdramatics.\n\n\nModerator's bio: \nTed Theodosopoulos is a mathematic ian who\, after working for years in academia and industry\, transitioned to teaching at the pre-college level seventeen years ago\, the last nine a t Nueva\, where he teaches math and economics.
