    ANTIGONE by Sophocles, in a translation by David Mulroy
    Directed by Michole Biancosino
    With original choral compositions by Carol Christensen
    Given the choice to follow the law of the state or her own sense of duty to her family, a young woman stands up and resists, even though she risks losing everything. This timely Greek tragedy explores justice, conscience, and what it means to live by one’s beliefs.

    Please join us for a post-show talkback with the company directly after Friday’s performance.

  • Hirschfield International Film Series: The Oldest Person in the World

    Sponsored by:
    Film & Media Culture
    A ten-year worldwide exploration tracks successive holders of the oldest living person title. A study of longevity transforms into reflection on time’s flow, fate’s unpredictability, and the joy of human existence. “For a movie so filled with death, The Oldest Person in the World is surprisingly, almost confrontationally life-affirming.” - Vulture “A soft and gentle hug of a film, one that reifies life’s most sacred values while retaining the essential mystery behind our most pressing questions.” - ScreenRant Brought to you by the Hirschfield International Film Series.

  • young and old shape note singers together

    Shape Note Singing

    Sponsored by:
    Charles P. Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life

    Described as spiritual, joyful, powerful, and raucous, Shape Note (or Sacred Harp) singing is a traditional American style of four-part, a capella, community singing popular in the United States before the Civil War. This style still thrives across the US and in the UK, with strongholds in the American South and New England. It is called Shape Note because the notes of the scale are indicated by distinctive shapes and names.
