MaryLu Clayton Rosenthal’s New Play Festival
The UCR Taiko Ensemble, directed by Rev. Shuichi Thomas Kurai, puts on a spirited, 30-minute outdoor demonstration of Japanese drumming.
Directed by Assistant Professor Joel Smith, this annual production serves as a showcase for new ideas and experiments in original choreography by UCR students.
This play by Rickerby Hinds, professor of theatre, uses historic moments in iconic American sports — football, baseball, basketball and boxing — as a means of exploring past and present race relations.
This annual event invites companies and organizations to the UCR campus to demonstrate their products and services to the university. Open to everyone, the fair is sponsored by the UCR Staff Assembly and is a great opportunity for organizations to connect with individuals in more than 200 UCR departments.
Kim A. Wilcox’s formal investiture ceremony as the ninth chancellor of UC Riverside will take place on April 24. Please save the date and plan to join us at this celebratory occasion. Chancellor Wilcox began his term on Aug. 19, 2013.
Students in all disciplines — the arts, humanities, sciences, and engineering — present their faculty-mentored projects to peers, faculty and administrators. They also have their abstracts published in “The Symposium Proceedings.” The event will include students’ performances, readings, oral presentation, viewing, poster presentations, art exhibits, displays and more.
At this exciting festival of full-length plays by students in the M.F.A. Playwriting Program, a different work is presented at each performance in rotating repertory.
