The December event in Encounters with Art series of the Cafesjian Center for the Arts was dedicated to the prominent American writer of Armenian origin William Saroyan. 

The tribute evening opened with a projection of a 5-minute video, produced by the Cafesjian Center for the Arts, presenting archive visual materials of William Saroyan, accompanied by quotes from his works and his own voice.

The script of the performance was developed by the Artistic Director of the Theater, Armen Elbakyan.
