UE Theatre Presents HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING
|
|
The University of Evansville Theatre closes their spring 2022 season with Will Arbery’s HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING. A 2020 Pulitzer Prize Finalist in Drama, this haunting play is a meticulously crafted 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 production opens on Friday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m., in Shanklin Theatre. Additional performances are 7:30 p.m. on April 9, 21, 22, 23, and at 2:00 p.m., on April 24.
HEROES OF THE FOURTH TURNING is guest-directed by Dylan Frederick, a 2014 alumnus of UE. Joy Weidenhamer, a senior theatre studies major from Omaha, Neb., serves as the associate director; Robert Tintoc, a 2006 alumnus, serves as the guest scenic designer; Assistant Professor Sarah J. Smith is the costume designer; Associate Professor Stephen Boulmetis is the lighting designer; Araceli Ramirez serves as the guest sound designer; Professor Diane Brewer is the dramaturg; Moira Cassiday, a senior stage management major from Nashville, Ind., is the stage manager, and Assistant Professor Mitchell L. Critel serves as the technical director.
The cast features Delaney Ross, a first-year performance major from Keller, Texas as Emily; Gabriel Smothers, a junior performance major from Casper, Wyo., as Kevin; Becky Rusch, a senior performance major from Newark, Del., as Teresa; McAllister Reed Stowell, a junior performance major from Lakewood, Colo., as Justin; and Delanie Kitzman, a senior performance major from Tomball, Texas, as Gina.
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, and remain masked during the performance. It is our hope that these restrictions will allow our student actors to safely perform unmasked.
Adult ticket prices are $20, and $18 for senior adults, non-UE students, and UE employees. UE students may obtain one free student rush ticket beginning at 12 p.m. on the day of the performance they wish to attend. Tickets are available by calling 812.488.2031, Monday through Friday, 12:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Employee Volunteers Needed for CDEI Prom
|
|
Hello everyone! As some of you may know, the CDEI in collaboration with SAB is holding a Prom on April 1st, 2022! This collaboration came together as restrictions are lessening and we realized many of our students were not able to attend an actual in-person, high school Prom! So, we decided to throw one for all students!
Prom will be held on April 1st in Eykamp Hall from 8:00pm- 11:30pm! Following Prom we will be shuttling students to Bob Walthers, where we have rented the space from 12:00am- 3:00am! Students will have access to inside and outside mini-golf, karaoke, bingo, mini-bowling, laser tag, and so much more!
Since this is a Prom for our students, I want to keep student volunteers at a minimum if not a complete zero for the night of and that means I need employee volunteers! Volunteer needs are listed below!
Prom 8-11:30pm
Bartenders (we will have a mocktail bar with sparkling juice, soda and water)
Photo Booth Attendants (we will have two photo drops with Ipad stations for photos)
Check-In Attendants (will need ticket/ guest list checkers)
Security (we will need additional people to check/ be stationed at specific doors to ensure no one is sneaking in or bringing any beverages into Prom)
Bob Walthers 12-3:00am
Shuttle Ticket Checkers (we will need individuals at UE checking tickets before students board the shuttle to ensure they have an actual ticket to attend Bob Walthers after party)
Bob Walthers Ticket Checkers (we will need individuals stationed at Bob Walther's checking tickets from people who may be electing to drive themselves over and not taking the shuttle)
Karaoke Attendant/ MC (we will be purchasing/ renting a Karaoke Machine and running Karaoke ourselves, and need individuals willing to help MC/ run this fun activity)
Food Attendants (in addition to Bob Walther's cafe being open, we will be purchasing and bringing in pizza and beverages and will need individuals willing to help set-up and monitor food rooms)
If you are interested, able and willing to volunteer for Prom, please reach out by email Abagail Catania at ac532@evansville.edu and indicate which (if any) specific volunteer opportunities you are interested in!

UE Receives $1 Million from Lilly Endowment Inc. for Youth Programs
|
|
The University of Evansville has received a grant of $1 million from Lilly Endowment Inc. to support the establishment of camps and afterschool programs for youth outreach in the Evansville community and beyond.
With the grant, UE will also establish a new Office of Youth Programs. This department will develop and oversee PathFinder programs, which are designed to create a spark youth to consider and obtain a college education. With PathFinder, middle and high school students will explore various disciplines and engage in activities to help them intentionally design the future they want for themselves, their families, and their communities. Some of the initial PathFinder programs will include Springboard, STEM, Wesley Shepherd Music, UE Dance Company, and UE Explorers.
Lilly Endowment made the grant through its initiative, Indiana Youth Programs on Campus, which is helping colleges and universities across Indiana develop new and strengthen existing efforts to provide enriching campus-based programs for students, ages 5 to 18.
Here are some of the camps UE will offer in the coming months and years:
Springboard
In partnership with Black Lemonade, a non-profit organization, Springboard is designed to prepare and empower high school students of color and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds for life beyond grade 12. Guided by UE faculty, staff, and students, youth in this summer program will create positive change through the studying of various cultures and creation of podcasts, news stories, articles, and social media posts.
Wesley Shepherd Music
This week-long summer music camp, hosted by the UE Music Conservatory, will be designed for grades 6-12. It will include performances, instrument and vocal lessons, music theory, and more. Wesley Shepherd Music will be led by full-time faculty from the Conservatory, and current music students will also assist and mentor the youth.
STEM Camp
STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) is comprised of growing academic fields, and this camp is designed to increase youth interest in them. Heavy emphasis will be given to natural sciences and mathematics, and career options will be discussed for each field. Students entering grades 9-11 will engage in hands-on activities, experiments, and data analyses across chemistry, biology, and mathematics. Camp students will also shadow current UE students conducting undergraduate research projects.
UE Dance Company
Modeled after the nationally acclaimed Mad Hot Ballroom program, this five-day summer camp will be available for students entering grades 8-10. Each day, students will learn a new dance, such as the Rumba and Tango, and they will prepare for a showcase at the end of the week. Selected dancers at the camp will be invited to join a newly established Junior Aces Performance team, which performs at UE basketball games and other campus events.
UE Explorers
UE Explorers is an afterschool program that will debut in the fall of 2022. Each month, a rotating UE faculty member will lead middle school students in the exploration of a new academic area. This program will be delivered in partnership with local youth-serving agencies Dream Center Evansville, Potter’s Wheel, and the YCMA.
About Lilly Endowment Inc.
Lilly Endowment Inc. is an Indianapolis-based, private philanthropic foundation created in 1937 by J.K. Lilly, Sr. and his sons Eli and J.K. Jr. through gifts of stock in their pharmaceutical business, Eli Lilly and Company. Although the gifts of stock remain a financial bedrock of the Endowment, it is a separate entity from the company, with a distinct governing board, staff and location. In keeping with the founders' wishes, the Endowment supports the causes of community development, education and religion and maintains a special commitment to its hometown, Indianapolis, and home state, Indiana.

Hug's homer caps-off ninth inning rally to lead Aces to win over WKU
|
|
Trailing for eight innings, the University of Evansville baseball team mounted a furious ninth-inning rally and shutdown the Hilltoppers in the bottom half of the ninth to capture a come-from-behind 9-8 win over Western Kentucky on Tuesday night in Bowling Green, Ky.
"Great come from behind win for us tonight against a good team," said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. "It was great to see our offense fight back from an early deficit and go win the game. Our bullpen did a great job keeping us within striking distance. That 9th inning was special with some great at bats and Chase Hug stepped up with a big HR."
A tough start forced Evansville to battle back most of the contest as WKU loaded the bases in the bottom of the first. Andrew Delaney brought them all home driving a grand slam to left field to hand WKU a 4-0 lead.
Evansville starter Donovan Schultz settled in after the first, allowing just one other run, an RBI ground out in the third, but Evansville's offense could not generate runs in the first four innings as the Aces trailed 5-0.
The offense bounced back in the top of the fifth inning, pushing across four runs. After Ben Stuart reached on a leadoff walk, Ty Rumsey got to first on a Hilltopper error. WKU put another runner on as Evan Berkey was hit by a pitch, bringing Simon Scherry to the plate. Scherry would deliver, driving a base hit past the third baseman, scoring Stuart and Rumsey. Later in the inning, Evansville scored two more on mistakes by the Hilltoppers with Roberts driving in a run on an error and Scherry scoring on an error as WKU tried to throw-out Roberts attempting to steal second, but the ball got away.
WKU would answer with single runs in the fifth and seventh innings to grab a 7-4 lead.
Down to its final three outs, the Evansville offense shined. A leadoff single from Berkey opened the inning the right way. Berkey then got pushed to second on a groundout and came home to open the scoring on an RBI base knock from Craig. The Aces got within one run on the next at-bat with a single from Brent Widder bringing Craig home. After the second out of the inning, Brendan Hord got on with a single, putting a pair of runners on for Chase Hug. On the first pitch thrown to him, Hug lifted a towering shot to right center field that cleared the wall and gave the Aces a 9-7 lead going into the bottom of the ninth.
The Hilltoppers challenged the Aces in the bottom half as Jakob Meyer came to the mound. After Meyer induced a leadoff groundout, pinch hitter Justin Carlin got a double to bring the tying run to the plate. Following up the double, WKU scored a run on a double to left center, getting the Hilltoppers within one at 9-8. After the back-to-back doubles, Meyer locked-in. The junior produced a fly-out to left for the second out and then pounded home back-to-back swinging strikes to close the contest and secure the 9-8 win for Evansville.
Evansville continues its action-packed week with a road contest at SIUE on Wednesday at 5 PM in Edwardsville, Ill.
