The University of Evansville Theatre continues their spring 2022 season with Bertolt Brecht’s THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE, English version by Eric Bentley. Teeming with political overtones and a sharp look at human nature, this play, written at the end of WWII, retells the story of an innocent child claimed and fought over by two mothers, resulting in one of the most riveting trials ever staged. This production opens on Thursday, Feb. 24, at 7:30 p.m. in the May Studio Theatre. Additional performances are 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 25 and 26, and at 2:00 p.m. on Feb. 26 and 27.

THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE is directed by Obi Roberts, a senior theatre performance major from Arvada, Colo. Angus Creech, a senior theatre studies major from Brooklyn, N.Y., serves as the scenic designer; Sara Mathew, a junior design & technology major from Union, Ky., is the costume designer; Stephen Boulmetis, associate professor of lighting design, serves as the lighting designer; guest artist Araceli Ramirez serves as the sound designer; Rebecca Conaway, a junior theatre studies major from Wellsburg, W.Va., is the dramaturg; Madison Wilson, a junior stage management major from Fort Worth, Texas, is the stage manager, and Blake Cooper, assistant technical director and scene shop manager, serves as the technical director.

The cast features Jake Conrad, a junior performance major from Olympia, Wash., as the singer; Kayleigh Doyle, a senior performance major from McKinney, Texas, as Grusha; Aivelyn Karsten, a junior performance major from Clackamas, Ore., as Simon; Josh Gelman, a senior performance major from Denver, Colo., as Azdak; Ben Bravard, a junior performance major from Batavia, Ohio, as Governor and others; Liv Campbell, a senior performance major from Kingwood, Texas, as Delegate and others; Jack Cory, a junior performance major from Southlake, Texas, as Fat Prince and others; and Bryce Galvan, a junior performance major from West Carrollton, Ohio, as Adjutant and others; Lillie Kolich, a senior performance major from Albuquerque, N.M., as Governor’s wife and others; Kirkland Long, a senior performance major from Canal Winchester, Ohio, as Corporal and others; Jeff Parkinson, a junior performance major from Mercer Island, Wash., as Lavrenti and others; Lindsay Perr, a first-year performance major from Medford, N.J., as Sister-in-law and others; and Brynna Waters, a first-year performance major from Brownsburg, Ind., as Shauwa and others.

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.

Facing Missouri Valley Conference leader Loyola on its senior night, the University of Evansville men’s basketball team fell to the Ramblers by a final of 82-31 on Wednesday evening inside Gentile Arena.

Loyola (22-6, 13-4 MVC) led by a 41-12 margin at halftime and pulled away in the second half to earn the win.  Evansville (6-22, 2-15 MVC) was led by Blake Sisley’s nine points.  He knocked down three of his six outside tries.  Emmette Paige matched his career mark with six points.  He has hit that tally in two of the last three games.

Aher Uguak led the Ramblers with 13 points while Lucas Williamson scored 11 and Keith Clemons added 10.

Over the opening minutes, the teams combined to start 1-of-10 from the field with the Ramblers taking a 2-0 lead.  Blake Sisley hit UE’s first 3-pointer to give the Aces a 3-2 edge before Loyola countered with a 13-0 run.  Knocking down five of their next six attempts, LUC went up 15-3.  Emmette Page ended a 1-for-10 start from the field with a drive to the basket.

Loyola continued to add to its lead, taking a 41-12 lead at the half.  They were 18-of-28 from the field.  Evansville shot 18.2% in the opening stanza.

Things continued to go Loyola’s way in the second half as they added to the lead before finishing the night with the win.  The Ramblers shot 62.0% on the night with the Aces finishing at 25.6%.

The regular season comes to a conclusion on Saturday when the Aces welcome Missouri State to the Ford Center for a 4 p.m. game.

Seven members of the University of Evansville women’s swimming and diving team have been named to the Missouri Valley Conference’s Scholar-Athlete Team for their performances both in the pool and the classroom this year.

Seniors Emily Vasquez (Huntsville, Ala./St. John Paul II), Sarah Kempf (Greenwood, Ind./Center Grove), Maggie Franz (Mundelein, Ill./Mundelein), and Alexa Markl (Scottsdale, Ariz./Notre Dame Prep), juniors Sonsoles Aquayo (Jerez, Spain) and Allison McDonald (Cape Girardeau, Mo./Cape Central), and sophomore Iryna Tsesiul (Minsk, Belarus) all were named to the Valley’s Scholar-Athlete Team on Wednesday.  To earn MVC Scholar-Athlete Team honors in swimming, it is based on both athletic and academic performance.

A student-athlete must be a sophomore both athletically and academically and meet one of the following criteria:
a.) 3.3 GPA and a member of the MVC All-Conference Team (top 8 finish), or
b.) 3.5 GPA and a top sixteen finish in an individual championship event, or
c.) 3.8 GPA and participation in the MVC Swimming & Diving Championships.

Evansville’s seven MVC Scholar-Athlete Team selections come on the heels of nine Purple Aces earning all-conference honors at the 2022 MVC Swimming & Diving Championships.
