Description:
The Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech presents An Evening with Roz Chast on Wednesday, October 22, 2025.

"New Yorker" cartoonist Roz Chast is one of the greatest chroniclers of life's anxieties and surreal imaginings. Her works are typically populated by hapless, but relatively cheerful "everyfolk,” and she addresses the universal topics of guilt, aging, families, money, real estate, and, as she would say, "much, much more!". David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker, has called her "the magazine's only certifiable genius."

Chast is the author of "Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant", a work that chronicles her relationship with her aging parents as they shift from independence to dependence. Using handwritten text, drawings, photographs, and her keen eye for the foibles that make us human, Chast addresses the realities of what it is to get old in America today — and what it is to have aging parents today — with tenderness and candor, and a good dose of her characteristic wit.

General admission tickets are $25.00 per person and students with ID and youth 18 and under tickets are $10.00.
