Throughout our Centennial year, we’re inviting notable alumni and exciting guests to campus to speak with students, faculty and staff, and other members of our Burroughs community. Recaps from their visits are available below.
Cory Finley ’07, a New York-based playwright and filmmaker, returned to Burroughs in late April 2023 to speak about his path from the JBS stage to the Sundance Film Festival. Cory returned to campus in conjunction with this year’s upper-school spring play, The Feast, which he wrote.
Composer-lyricist and writer Julia Riew ’17 came back to Burroughs in May 2022 to speak about her meteoric rise in the world of musical theatre. Julia returned to campus in conjunction with this year’s middle school musical, Thumbelina: A Little Musical, which she wrote. During her visit, Julia appeared on The Face to Face, a student-led podcast by members of the class of 2026. Listen now via Spotify!
