September 20, 4pm Art Opening - Common Humanity Alum Mel Lehman C ‘71, brings to campus a traveling show, "Artists in Exile: Art as Fabric for Healing," which runs through October in the Hartzler Library Gallery.

September 26, 6:30pm Writers Read with Todd Davis University Commons, Room 177 Common Grounds Todd Davis will read from his 6th book of poetry Native Species.

Todd Davis is the author of six full-length collections of poetry—Native Species, Winterkill, In the Kingdom of the Ditch, The Least of These, Some Heaven, and Ripe—as well as a limited-edition chapbook, Household of Water, Moon, and Snow. He edited the nonfiction collection, Fast Break to Line Break: Poets on the Art of Basketball, and co-edited the anthology Making Poems. His writing has won the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Bronze and Silver Awards, the Gwendolyn Brooks Poetry Prize, the Chautauqua Editors Prize, and has been nominated several times for the Pushcart Prize. His poems appear in such noted journals and magazines as Alaska Quarterly Review, American Poetry Review, Barrow Street, Gettysburg Review, Iowa Review, Missouri Review, North American Review, Orion, Poetry Northwest, Sycamore Review, West Branch, and Poetry Daily.

October 12, 8pm Writer’s Read: Faith Eidse ‘79 University Commons, Room 177 Listen as Faith Eidse ‘79 reads from her bestselling novel "Healing Falls." All are welcome to this free event! Light refreshments will be served.

At a critical time for families in detention, Eidse is raising her voice for restorative justice, which seeks to meet the needs of all parties involved in a crime—victims, offenders, and communities. This interest in a higher form of justice was fostered by her studies at EMU during the late 70s. Dedicated to the women inside, Healing Falls “explores critical issues facing the American justice system, as well as the power of faith and artistic expression to transform lives,” wrote author Donna Meredith.

September 6- 7, 7pm • September 8, 3pm September 13-14, 7pm • September 15, 3pm The Curious Savage Mrs. Savage has been left ten million dollars by her husband and wants to make the best use of it, in spite of her grown-up stepchildren’s efforts to get their hands on it. Knowing that the widow’s wealth is now in negotiable securities, and seeing they cannot get hold of the fortune, the stepchildren commit her to a sanatorium hoping to “bring her to her senses.” In the sanatorium Mrs. Savage meets various social misfits, men and women who just cannot adjust themselves to life, people who need the help Mrs. Savage can provide. In getting to know them, she realizes that she will find happiness with them and plans to spend the rest of her life as one of them. But when the doctor tells her there is no reason why she should remain,

she hesitates to go out into a hard world where people seem ready to do anything for money. The self-seeking stepchildren are driven to distraction by their vain efforts to browbeat Mrs. Savage, but she preserves her equanimity and leads them on a merry chase. At last her friends conspire to get rid of her stepchildren, and through their simple belief in the justice of her cause, they enable Mrs. Savage to carry out her plans to establish a fund to help others realize their hopes and dreams.

The dominant mood is high comedy, and the audience is left with a feeling that the neglected virtues of kindness and affection have not been entirely lost in a world that seems at times motivated only by greed and dishonesty.

concept of detournement. This involves taking a work of art or artifact such as a book or a kitchen implement and transforming it into something else. Marcel Duchamp did this in his readymade art. The work that is created can be wiser, funnier, more elaborate, streamlined and so on when compared with its source. This technique is one which underlies nearly all Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical of his work as an artist.

Exhibit Gallery Now-August 25 Bruce Frank-Boxing-The Sweet Science Boxing is called the “Sweet Science” because it is all about the art of the counter-punch. A successful boxer must find a perfect balance between hitting and not being hit. In many other combat arts, you are blocking and then defending, but not doing both simultaneously. Boxing is structured in a way where the boxer is required to do both at once. In the abstract, the boxing ring can be considered a place outside of reality. A space where the laws of a nation do not exist. Inside the ropes during an “official round,” a man may die at his opponents’ hands, but legally would not be considered murder. Boxing inhabits a sacred space where powerful, unsettling images of combat are intertwined with boxing’s primordial appeal.

Boxer, collector and enthusiast Bruce Frank first learned to box when attending the University of Virginia. He has competed as a Toughman Champion, Rough and Rowdy Champion and in the Toughman World Championship, and fought as a professional fighter. He was a sparring partner for Marvis Frazier, Tommy Morrison, Riddick Bowe and Ibn Ali, and served an eight-year term as president of the Virginia Chapter of the United States Amateur Boxing Association.

Frank is well established in the boxing world and called such greats as Muhammed Ali, friend.

Rosie Revere Grades K-4 Ms. Greer’s classroom includes three inquisitive out-of-the-box thinkers: Rosie Revere has big dreams, Iggy Peck has a relentless passion for architecture, and Ada Twist’s curiosity can drive her teacher crazy. A fun new TheatreworksUSA musical based on the books by Andrea Beatty which spotlights the STEM curriculum (focusing on science, technology, engineering and math.)

Elf The Musical Jr. Grades K-5 This musical is performed by students who’ve taken part in an 8 week workshop. We feel there is value in “children watching children perform.” Come and enjoy! A title known the world over, Elf The Musical JR. is a must-produce holiday musical that can easily become an annual tradition for any theatre.

Based on the cherished New Line Cinema hit, Elf JR. features songs by Tony Award-nominees, Matthew Sklar and Chad Beguelin, with a book by Tony Award-winners, Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin. Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list and that his half-brother doesn’t even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Follow Pocahontas as she grows from a girl who helps the Jamestown colonists survive, to the young woman, wife, and mother who carries her message across the Atlantic to the mighty King of England.

Join Pocahontas on her amazing journey and see how courage and determination can change the world. Presented
