Letterman visiting BSU

David Letterman is returning to Muncie.

The Ball State University alumnus will be returning to his alma mater for the premiere of a documentary about the art of glass, “Clear Reception,” at 7 p.m. Monday in Emens Auditorium.

Ball State University students from the College of Communication, Information and Media, collaborated with Letterman during the 2021 through ’22 school year to create the film, which shares his interest in the college’s glass art program. Following the showing, he’ll conduct a question and answer session with the director and producer.

The show is free and open to the public. No tickets are required. To watch the trailer, visit Ball State University’s Youtube channel.
