Dafoe

Actor Willem Dafoe is set to receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee next month.

University officials announced Friday that Dafoe will receive the doctorate of arts on May 22. He's slated to speak at the school's two graduation ceremonies that day. He'll receive the degree during the second ceremony of the day.

The subject of Vaslav Nijinsky's diary first came up in 2013 during a rehearsal for "The Old Woman" by Daniil Kharms, directed by Robert Wilson and starring Mikhail Baryshnikov and Willem Dafoe.
