What's Happening Today

* UE Theatre Presents Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-Winning Play, Clybourne Park

University of Evansville Theatre’s Clybourne Park garners high praise from the press.

“This production of Clybourne Park, by Bruce Norris, offers a brilliantly insightful, entertaining and provocative examination of race, real estate and community in 21st century Middle America. In Evansville’s first must-see show of the season, John David Lutz and his team of players, designers and technicians have produced a remarkable theatrical experience presented with polished nuance, explosive humor and haunting ironic revelation.” —Roger McBain, Evansville Courier and Press

Inspired by Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, Clybourne Park is a razor-sharp comedy that provides an acerbic appraisal of a Chicago neighborhood’s ethnic evolution over the span of 50 years. Winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play, Clybourne Park, runs at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, October 3, through Saturday, October 5. and at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 6, in Shanklin Theatre. Ticket prices are $15 for adults and $13 for senior adults, students and UE faculty/staff. UE students may obtain one free student rush ticket beginning at noon on the day of the performance they wish to attend.

Subscriptions for the four-play Shanklin Theatre season are still available for $44 for adults and $38 for senior adults, students, and UE faculty/staff. In addition to Clybourne Park, a season ticket also includes the musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by Hugh Wheeler, November 15–24; Compleat Female Stage Beauty, by Jeffrey Hatcher, February 21–March 2; and As You Like It, by William Shakespeare, April 4–13. Tickets may be purchased by calling (812) 488–2031, Monday through Friday, noon to 5 p.m.

 
* First Friday Forum @ 4: Faith and Faculty Presents the Bahá'í Faith

The Office of Academic Affairs and the Department of Religious Life are pleased to welcome Assistant Professor of Physics Angie Reisetter and Assistant Professor of Japanese Fusae Ekida to the Faith and Faculty Forum series this Friday, October 4 at 4:00 p.m., Room 172, Schroeder Family School of Business Building. Reisetter will present "The Bahá’í Faith Tradition," and Ekida will complement the Forum with her experiences in the Bahá’í tradition.

The monthly Forum provides an informal venue where UE faculty can present and offer reflections about their own faith traditions/religious practices and engage the University community in informal dialogue. Each forum lasts 50 minutes, 4:00 pm - 4:50 pm including time for Q & A.

By highlighting the religious diversity of our faculty, we aim to demonstrate the variety and richness of traditions represented on our campus. The forums will also encourage students and the campus community to widen their understanding of and respect for traditions different from their own.

As an institution affiliated with The United Methodist Church, we want to continually affirm our call to initiate and promote better relationships between Christians and people of other faiths based on informed understanding, critical appreciation, and balanced perspective. Interfaith discussions can make religion a bridge and not a barrier toward a peaceful world. The University of Evansville is committed to religious diversity and interfaith dialogue as we continue to serve an interconnected, global society.

For more information, please contact University Chaplain Tammy Gieselman, tg85@evansville.edu or Senior Vice-President for Academic Affairs John Mosbo, jm545@evansville.edu.
