PERFORMANCE / EXHIBITION GUIDE

WELCO M E T O YO U R U N I V E R S I TY C E NTE R FO R T HE A R T S The School of Music, Theatre, and Dance empowers students to create, collaborate, innovate, and inspire. Through teaching, creative artistry, research, advocacy, and service, we elevate arts education.

Fall is a wonderful time to be in Colorado, and a wonderful time to visit the University Center for the Arts. There are many things that make Colorado an amazing place to live or visit in the summer, including beautiful mountain vistas, boundless recreational opportunities, and multitudes of summer festivals. Fall brings students, faculty, staff, and patrons together following a brief, but hopefully fulfilling summer exploring all that Colorado has to offer. This fall, the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance truly has it all, and is committed to providing students with opportunities to present their outstanding work to the public in this wonderful facility, now in its eleventh year of operation.

Although there are too many highlights to list, from orchestra, jazz, and band concerts to fully realized theatrical, musical, operatic, and dance productions, I want to encourage our patrons to explore something different. Perhaps take a chance on a genre that is new or challenging, like the wonderful chamber opera by Maurice Ravel, L’enfant et les sortilèges, take in a play by Samuel Beckett, or attend one of the amazing dance concerts. Maybe attend a chamber music concert, or a student recital…something different in addition to the big shows. And, speaking of big shows, don’t miss the production of Kandor and Ebb’s iconic musical, Cabaret. This show will also be remounted in February 2020 as CSU hosts the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival.

Finally, if you love what our students present on the UCA stages, please consider supporting student scholarships by naming a seat in one of the venues, or if you already have named one or two seats…how about three or four or maybe one or two for your friends? Scholarship support allows students to focus on pursuing their dreams without having to take on a second job or additional student loan debt. For more information on naming a seat, please visit smtd. colostate.edu/name-a-seat.

Thank you again for visiting the UCA and supporting the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance at CSU!

VIRTUOSO SERIES CONCERT, TIM BURNS, PIANO Youthful, Vibrant Memories With Guest John Michael Vaida, Violin Monday, November 11, 7:30 p.m., Organ Recital Hall, UCA The program represents youthful and vibrant memories in their performance and their presentation. Edvard Grieg’s Violin Sonata in G Major and Richard Strauss’ Violin Sonata in E-flat Major were written early in both composers’ careers and feature stylistic hallmarks of each: Grieg explores the harmonies, colors, and folk instruments of his native Norway, while Strauss expresses the boldness of youth and the expansiveness of Germanic Romanticism.

DANCE PERFORMANCES FALL DANCE CONCERT With Guest Artist Andrew Wass Friday, November 15 and Saturday, November 16, 7:30 p.m. matinee on Saturday, November 16, 2 p.m., University Dance Theatre, UCA No charge/CSU students, $9/youth (under 18), $14/senior (62+), $18/adult This diverse dance concert features new choreography by faculty, guest artists, and student choreographers. From contemporary ballet to modern to improvised dance, audiences will enjoy the wide variety of pieces.

By experimenting with aleatoric, improvisational, and indeterminate processes, Andrew Wass finds that movement reveals an inherent awkwardness, a humor that echoes our own vulnerabilities. He formalizes the coincidental and emphasizes the conscious processes of composition, which are the generative source of much of his works. Influenced heavily by his undergraduate studies of Biochemistry at U.C. San Diego, Andrew works by creating a defined, almost crystalline palette in order to generate a myriad of possibilities. The possibilities are reduced and concentrated in the moments of execution and reception. A member of the Lower Left Performance Collective, he is a graduate of the M.A. program of Solo/Dance/Authorship at the Hochschulübergreifendes Zentrum für Tanz in Berlin. He is currently pursuing his PhD in Dance at Texas Woman’s University, researching improvised dance-making through the lenses of cognitive science and phenomenology.

THEATRE PERFORMANCES A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE Directed by Walt Jones October 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 7:30 p.m.; matinees on October 6, 13, 2 p.m., University Theatre, UCA No charge/CSU students, $9/youth (under 18), $14/senior (62+), $18/adult William Shakespeare’s classic, first performed around 1596, is one of the bard’s most beloved plays. For centuries, audiences have enjoyed this comic fantasy about four lovers who find themselves bewitched by fairies and suffering strange love experiences. Four interconnecting plots are set simultaneously in the wooded realm of Fairyland and under the light of the moon.

Portraying the events surrounding the marriage of Theseus to Hippolyta, an Athenian weaver who is transformed into an ass-headed monster, and the antics of Oberon and Titiana, the fairy king and queen, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is an artful examination of love, jealousy, and marriage and is a delightful evening, full of wit and magical surprises.

Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend More than cool reason ever comprehends.

CABARET, A MUSICAL BY JOHN KANDOR WITH LYRICS BY FRED EBB Directed by Noah Racey November 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 7:30 p.m.; matinees on November 10, 17, 2 p.m., University Theatre, UCA Reprise February 13, 14, 15, 7:30 p.m., matinee on February 15, 2 p.m., University Theatre, UCA No charge/CSU students, $9/youth (under 18), $14/senior (62+), $18/adult

Cabaret is a powerful, dance-driven musical set in 1931 Berlin in the shadow of the Nazi rise to power. Focusing on the nightlife at the sexy, seedy Kit Kat Klub, the play revolves around American writer Cliff Bradshaw and his relationship with English cabaret performer Sally Bowles. The club’s master of ceremonies delivers ribald songs that explore the dark, intoxicating, and turbulent life of Berlin’s citizens and expatriates under an emerging Third Reich. Cabaret originally opened in 1966 and ran for 1,165 performances, winning the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for best musical and eight Tony awards.

A stunning musical. Brilliantly conceived. It opens the door to a fresh notion of the bizarre, crackling, harsh and yet beguiling uses that can be made of song and dance.

THE BECKETT EXPERIENCE: FOUR TIMES/TIMES FOUR Directed by Eric Prince December 6, 7, 7:30 p.m., December 8, 2 p.m., Studio Theatre, UCA Preview performance and pre-show lecture: December 5, 6:30 p.m.

No charge/CSU students, $12/senior (62+), $14/adult Samuel Beckett — Irish playwright, theatre director, novelist, and poet — is one of the most influential writers of the 20th century and transports his audience to a strange and mysterious world often located at the very brink of death, that “undiscovered country” for which his characters so often yearn. But his works are far from depressing. There is great beauty in the writing and a determination to stare mortality in the face. There is no better guide to the human spirit’s darker depths. On seeing these plays you may well leave feeling unexpectedly elated, although perhaps scary, a walk through the night can be invigorating. This event marks the culmination of many years of research and performance from CSU’s Center for Studies in Beckett and Performance, the only academic center world-wide devoted to the theatre of Samuel Beckett.

• Come and Go: Three women, three old friends, sit on a bench. They gossip. They whisper.

They come and go. They leave us a message. One of Beckett’s briefest and most cryptic plays.

• Rockaby, featuring Wendy Ishii and directed by Laura Jones: An elderly woman rocks in a chair as a distant voice recalls her lifelong search for human contact. One of Beckett’s starkest minimalist works, a study in old age, isolation, and disengagement from life. Haunting and profoundly moving.

• Dieppe (Quatre Poèmes): A dramatized evocation of one of Beckett’s most personal poems.

A small premiere, or as they say in the circus, “something never attempted before.”

• Play: One of Beckett’s most chilling yet darkly comic masterpieces. A man, his wife, and his mistress. Another eternal triangle. Eternity. All three are up to their necks in it. Another of Beckett’s plays in which actors are pushed to the very limits of what is possible. A mesmerizing experience.

HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE, BY PAULA VOGEL Directed by Debbie Swann March 11, 12, 13, 7:30 p.m., Studio Theatre, UCA No charge/CSU students, $12/senior (62+), $14/adult While How I Learned to Drive won the Pulitzer Prize in 1998, it is still as relevant as ever. Paula Vogel's coming-of-age tale showcases the funny, surprising, and sometimes devastating things young women might have experienced growing up in the 20th century. With an unsupportive family and frienemies at school, Lil Bit relies on her uncle's driving lessons as a place of solace from the raging world around her. The lessons, however, become one more thing she has to overcome. In this #MeToo moment, How I Learned to Drive continues to spark conversations about love, sex, abuse, and what happens when all three collide.

Warning: this production contains adult content and depictions of sexual violence.

SHE KILLS MONSTERS, A MUSICAL BY QUI NGUYEN Directed by Garret Ayers April 24, 25, 30, May 1, 2, 7:30 p.m.; matinees on April 26, May 3, 2 p.m., University Theatre, UCA No charge/CSU students, $9/youth (under 18), $14/senior (62+), $18/adult A comedic romp into the world of fantasy role-playing games, She Kills Monsters tells the story of Agnes Evans as she leaves her childhood home in Ohio following the death of her teenage sister, Tilly. When Agnes finds Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, however, she stumbles into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was Tilly’s refuge. In this high-octane dramatic comedy laden with homicidal fairies, nasty ogres, and 90s pop culture, acclaimed young playwright Qui Nguyen offers a heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.

No less impressive, however, are the play’s depictions of the more conventional wounds of adolescence, the ones that come from loving and not being loved in return. The whole enterprise is kind of dopey and kind of invigorating and kind of remarkable. It will slash and shapeshift its way into your heart.

The 21st biennial Colorado International Invitational Poster Exhibition — a collection from the world’s most distinguished poster artists and designers hosted by CSU’s Department of Art and Art History — returns to CSU this fall. Starting with the honor laureate and exhibition judge Pekka Loiri’s lecture at the University Center for the Arts and opening night events at the Lory Student Center and the Visual Arts Building, this popular event allows the entire campus and Northern Colorado communities to experience firsthand the best that the poster world has to offer.

First organized in 1979 by the Department of Art and Art History’s highly regarded graphic design unit, CIIPE is the one of only a few international invitational poster exhibitions of its kind in the United States world.

The two-person exhibition features the work of CSU alumni Lindsey Dezman and Qwist Joseph, astute and thoughtful artists, deeply attuned the expressive potential and intelligence of the ceramic medium.

The show’s title, taken from geology and material science term referencing "the steepest angle at which a sloping surface formed of a particular loose material is stable,” is also associated with the human figure in a state of rest. “Whenever I read this phrase, I imagine a way of looking at each of these — both the nature of sedimentary materials, and a state of the body in sleep, tranquil, at rest — as problems of geometry and human feeling,” explains Dezman about the show’s inspiration.
