The University of Evansville (UE) Department of Theatre proudly presents the Spring 2022 season with two student-directed productions in the May Studio Theatre and one guest-directed production in Shanklin Theatre.

The semester kicks off with MAC BETH, by Erica Schmidt, based on the play MACBETH, by William Shakespeare, in the May Studio Theatre. Directed by senior theatre studies major Claire Himstedt, from St. Louis, MO, this new take on Shakespeare’s classic tale of bloody violence explores a symmetry with rebellious teenage girls meeting to stage the play in a parochial school’s parking lot. MAC BETH runs at 7:30 pm, on Feb. 10, 11, 12, and at 2:00 pm, on Feb. 12 and 13.

Next up is Bertolt Brecht’s THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE, with an English version by Eric Bentley, in the May Studio Theatre, directed by senior performance major Obi Roberts, from Arvada, Colo. Originally written at the end of WWII, it retells the story of a child claimed and fought over by two mothers, resulting in one of the most riveting trials ever staged. Teeming with political overtones and a sharp look at human nature, this play runs at 7:30 pm, on Feb. 24, 25, 26, and at 2:00 pm, on Feb. 26 and 27.

The finale is HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING, by Will Arbery, in Shanklin Theatre.

Guest-directed by Dylan Frederick, a 2014 graduate of UE, this 2020 Pulitzer Prize Finalist in Drama is a meticulously fashioned story centering on four alumni of a conservative college whose reunion spirals into chaos over spirituality, politics, and a nearly fanatical desire to be understood. This haunting and brilliant play runs at 7:30 pm, on Apr. 8, 9, 21, 22, 23, and at 2:00 pm on Apr. 24.

Guest-director Dylan Frederick is a 2017 graduate of the Yale School of Drama and made his Broadway debut in the 2021 Tony Award-winning production of THE INHERITANCE, by Matthew López. Dylan will likely be remembered by UE audiences for playing the role of Master Harold in the 2011 smash-hit production of MASTER HAROLD…AND THE BOYS, by Athol Fugard, directed by John David Lutz. A native of Minnesota, Dylan returns to his alma mater to make his directing debut.

In following industry standards, as established by the Broadway League, all audience members must show proof of COVID–19 vaccination or a negative test result taken within 48-hours of the date on their ticket. Upon arrival at the theatre, proof of vaccination/negative test result and an ID will be checked before each performance. In compliance with the UE Coronavirus Task Force guidelines, all audience members must remain masked when indoors on campus. Additionally, both Shanklin Theatre and the May Studio Theatre will be seated at no more than 50% capacity. It is our hope that these restrictions will allow our student actors to safely perform unmasked in both spaces.

Single ticket prices for MAC BETH and THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE are $12 for all patrons. HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING tickets are $20 for adults and $18 for senior adults, students, and UE employees. UE students may obtain one free student rush ticket beginning at 12:00 p.m. on the day of the performance they wish to attend. Tickets may be purchased by calling (812) 488–2031, Monday through Friday, 12:00 p.m.

to 5:00 p.m.

The University of Evansville swimming and diving teams will head north on Friday for their final dual meet of the 2021-22 season, as the Purple Aces will compete against the nationally-ranked Indiana University Hoosiers.  The meet is set to begin at 2 p.m. eastern (1 p.m. central) at the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center in Bloomington, Indiana. 

“Friday is really all about racing,” said UE head swimming and diving coach Stuart Wilson.  “This is a great opportunity for the teams to race against a very strong team in Indiana, and I think that this experience will help them as we head towards the conference championships. 

“With three weeks until the women’s conference meet, and about five-six weeks until the men’s championships, this meet is a good way to finish the teams’ successful seasons this year.  I’m looking forward to seeing how the team will handle themselves against a team like Indiana.” 

Evansville will enter Friday’s dual meet at 4-0 on the men’s side and 5-1 on the women’s side in dual meet action.  The Purple Aces last competed on January 15 at Bellarmine, when UE was able to sweep the Knights in Louisville.  Junior Sarah Jahns (Lilburn, Ga./Parkview) paced a short-handed UE women’s team to a 142-118 victory with three individual victories in three swims.   

Meanwhile, on the men’s side, freshman Daniel Santos Lopez (Madrid, Spain) was undefeated in two relays and two individual events to help UE to a 156-106 victory while earning Mid-American Conference male swimmer of the week honors. 

Friday’s opponent will be the toughest of the year for UE, as Indiana will enter the meet ranked fifth nationally on the men’s side and 13^th nationally on the women’s side in the latest College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Top 25.  The IU men have won 14-straight dual meets dating back to 2019, while the Indiana women are 6-2 on the season. 

Opening the Missouri Valley Conference weekend, the University of Evansville women's basketball team dropped an 82-35 decision to preseason conference favorite Missouri State on Thursday evening inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse in Evansville.

Senior Myia Clark and junior A'Niah Griffin led the way for the Aces with nine points each. Clark did most of her damage at the free throw line, knocking-down seven of eight attempts at the charity stripe, while Griffin hit four field goals in under 16 minute to tally her scoring. Cleaning the glass, junior Abby Feit finished with a game-high 13 boards, her third 13+ rebound performance of the season. The Lady Bears were led by Abigayle Jackson, who scored a game-best 25 points on 10-15 shooting from the field.

A quick start from the Lady Bears opened na 18-2 advantage before the Aces offense could get into gear. Missouri State shot 55% (11-20) in the opening stanza, including a pair of triples, but Evansville was able to keep the deficit at 16 at 26-10 heading into the second quarter.

In the second period, the Lady Bears could not quite get the breakaway they did in the first quarter, earning a 16-10 advantage in the frame. Evansville was able to settle in defensively, holding MSU to 40% from the field, but it was the Aces whose shooting numbers declined in the second period, leading to a 42-20 lead for the Lady Bears at the break.

A continued hot streak for MSU offensively and cold-shooting from the Aces combined with an amount of turnovers unlike Evansville this season, led to an increase in Missouri State's advantage in the second half as the Lady Bears captured an 82-35 win.

The Aces close the weekend with a home matchup against Southern Illinois on Saturday afternoon at 1 PM inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse in Evansville.
