The Raven Foundation presents the 2011 Raven Award for Excellence in Arts and Entertainment to award-winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz for his musical Wicked. Not only is it blockbuster entertainment, but like a powerful tornado it upends what you thought you knew about how to be good and where wickedness is hiding. The evening includes an interview with the honoree by author and Raven Foundation founder Suzanne Ross. Listen in as we honor the talented, profound, and award-winning Stephen Schwartz, composer and lyricist for this original and provocative musical.

Recorded Tuesday, March 1, 2011 at Loyola University Museum of Art.
