SUMMARY:Our Town by Thornton Wilder
DESCRIPTION:November 5 – 9 and 12 – 15\, 2014Lauren K. Woods Theatre \nA University-wide production of the classic Pulitzer-Prize winning play by Thornton Wilder\, Our Town tells the universal story of small town America. Though taking place in the first decade of the 20th century and written in 1938\, Our Town has consistently been hailed as a theatrical masterpiece. A New York production won the Tony Award for best revival in 1989 and an off-Broadway presentation in 2009 won accolades from critics and audiences alike and ran for nearly 3 years.  Performed with little scenery and having the character of Stage Manager directly address the audience\, Our Town asks us to consider what is important in life. When Emily wants to relive a day in her life\, she is told “Choose the least important day of your life; it will be important enough.”

SUMMARY:Aquila Theatre’s Wuthering Heights
DESCRIPTION:Aquila Theatre brings to life Emily Bronte’s classic story of all-consuming passion with its new production of Wuthering Heights. \nThe novel\, one of the most famous works of world literature\, was first published in 1847 under a pseudonym and is Emily Bronte’s only work. Wuthering Heights recounts the tale of ill-fated lovers on the lonely moors of northern England. Heathcliff and Catherine meet as children when Catherine’s father brings the abandoned boy home to live with them. The two grow up together\, living freely on the moors while Heathcliff is tormented by Catherine’s brother. When Catherine’s parents die\, her brother turns Heathcliff out\, forcing him to live among the servants. Catherine marries and the crushed Heathcliff disappears. Years later\, a wealthy Heathcliff returns\, but is it too late for them? \nWuthering Heights is a deep and wide story of passion\, revenge\, family\, class\, and the supernatural. Over a century and a half later\, Bronte’s magnum opus remains incredibly moving. Bringing its signature style and dynamic approach\, Aquila re-imagines one of the most famous love stories ever told with this heart wrenching new production. Aquila Theatre is renowned for its ability to adapt works of classical literature into enthralling and mesmerizing live performances. Impeccable design and a unique physical style combine with a marvelous cast to make Wuthering Heights an exquisite and captivating theatrical experience. \nPre-Show Discussion with Cast at 7 pm

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition: David H. Wells
DESCRIPTION:September 2 – November 14\, 2014\nIce House Gallery\nOpening Reception:  Thursday\, September 25\, from 4:30 – 7:00 p.m. \nAn exhibit about the empty homes and foreclosed dreams littering the American landscape in the wake of the foreclosure crisis. \nOwning a home was once the American dream. At the peak of the foreclosure crisis\, one in five American homeowners was either behind on their mortgage payments or in the process of foreclosure. Their empty homes and foreclosed dreams are powerful symbols of lives shattered and families devastated. \nAfter a house is foreclosed upon there is a fleeting moment when the ghosts of the one-time owners are all that is left – before the houses are cleaned and returned to the real estate market.  The remaining signs of life photographed during this period of time echo the voices and footsteps that once filled these emptied houses. \nI focused on empty homes\, as they are immovable objects and stand in stark contrast to the highly mobile American dream. I chose not to focus on individual families in foreclosure because I wanted to explore the issue from a broader perspective. The final work is made more powerful by its lack of literalism and its attention to chillingly mundane objects.  An open-ended canvas\, viewers can project their own ideas into the photographs – about home\, America and family\, into the empty spaces of the houses. \nI started the project in April of 2009\, with the goal of understanding the upheaval we are living through. I initially photographed in the Central Valley of California\, an epicenter of the foreclosure crisis. Then\, I worked in Rhode Island\, which has a foreclosure rate very similar to California’s. To date\, I have photographed in eighteen states. \nMy audience is America itself\, including those who worry about the possible foreclosure of their own dreams\, those who have already experienced that trauma and anyone concerned or interested in what’s happening to the American dream.

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition: MAVIS SMITH / THINK AGAIN
DESCRIPTION:September 2 – October 17\, 2014\nRechnitz Hall\nDiMattio Gallery – First Floor\nOpening Reception: Friday\, September 19\, from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. \nWe interact with hundreds of people throughout our lifetimes\, yet can we ever hope to grasp the intricate web of experience that makes them tick? Imagining the hidden realities of other people’s existences is a continuing theme in the work of artist Mavis Smith. “It’s not so much specific people or events\, but the general sense of unknown depths that intrigues me”\, says Smith. “It does not have to be dark; heroic acts toward total strangers or simple people rising to extraordinary occasions are equally in the mix.” Smith\, who’s works are often done in egg tempera\, brings an almost surreal aesthetic to her paintings that further suggests the dislocation of appearances and realities. \n“I have a love/hate relationship with egg tempera. It’s a labor intensive medium\, but the luminous effects you can achieve makes it seem worth it to me. I build up layer upon layer of thicker paint\, alternating with sheer washes of pigment – back and forth\, back and forth. The actual process is very meditative\, and I believe it contributes to my subconscious imagination coming into play.” \nBucks County\, PA resident Mavis Smith studied at the Pratt Institute in the 1970’s\, and has exhibited her work in Holland and Switzerland as well as Santa Fe\, New York City\, and several venues in NJ and PA including a solo show in 2012 at the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown\, PA. She is also a prolific illustrator and author of children’s books\, having authored 10 and illustrated at least 75. This exhibition samples a range of Smith’s work from years past\, as well as several new pieces\, including both paintings and works on paper as well as some recent sculptural works incorporating egg shells.

SUMMARY:Gallery Exhibition: Robert Mueller - Selected Works From the Monmouth University Permanent Collection
DESCRIPTION:September 2 – October 17\, 2014\nRechnitz Hall\nDiMattio Gallery – Second Floor \nInspired by mathematical models\, literary sources\, and his own social consciousness\, Robert Emmett Mueller\, artist\, engineer\, inventor\, author\, musician\, puppet maker\, and general wizard\, is on a never-ending search for visual equivalents to his ideas. \n“Such is his mind\, and such is his personality that I know whatever he is doing artistically is a search for form\, a search for beauty\, and a search for the meaning of things”\, said Bernarda Bryson Shahn\, and artist and Mueller’s longtime neighbor in Roosevelt\, New Jersey. \nMueller’s creations are largely varied.  They include woodcuts\, like a recent triptych entitled: Ravages of Pre-emptive War; The Devil Stalks Baghdad; America’s Bitter Presence\, whose theme is the U.S. invasion of Iraq.  Many of Mueller’s pieces can be found worldwide and are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Museum of Modern Art\, and The Pushkin Museum in Moscow\, the New Jersey State Museum\, the Rutgers University Museum\, the Victoria and Albert Museum of London\, and other museums worldwide.  He is also a painter who describes his personal style as “Mathematico-abstract.”  Mueller has written two books\, The Science of Art\, published in 1967\, and Inventivity\, published in 1963. \nMueller’s own “inventivity” took a circuitous route to art.  He grew up in St. Louis\, where his father was a baker and his mother was a seamstress and milliner.  After serving in the Navy\, he was sent to a college preparation program in Asbury Park and later graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. \nAfter moving to New York City to study philosophy at New York University\, Mueller began to meet artists from Roosevelt\, which was begun as a planned workers’ community but had evolved into an artists’ colony that included\, among others\, Ben Shahn\, and Gregorio Prestopino\, both who influenced Mueller’s work.  Mueller moved to Roosevelt with his wife Diana Lobl\, an attorney\, in the 1950’s.  They now have two grown children\, Rachel and Erik. \nMueller said that through Roosevelt he became “conscious of human inhumanity\, moral and social problems\, the depths of degradation\, and the heights of elegance over which human nature ranges”\, and he believes that artists should use their work to react to crises in society\, to encourage protest\, and to fight for economic\, political\, and human well-being. \nIn this exhibition\, all of the above are skillfully communicated. \nImage Caption: Classic Figure\, 1996\, Woodcut\, 23 1/2″ x 17 1/2″

SUMMARY:33rd Annual Black Maria Film and Video Festival
DESCRIPTION:The films that become the centerpiece of the Black Maria Film and Video Festival honor the vision of Thomas Edison\, New Jersey inventor and creator of the motion picture.  It was his New Jersey studio\, the world’s first\, which he called the “black maria” (pronounced “mariah”) after which the festival is named.  The cutting edge\, cross-genre work that makes up the festival’s touring program\, has been traveling across the country every year for decades.  Black Maria focuses on diverse short films – narrative\, experimental\, animation\, and documentary – including those which address issues and struggles within contemporary society such as the environment\, public health\, race and class\, family\, sustainability\, and much more. These exceptional works ranging from comedy to drama to the exploration of pure form in film and video are not sidebars to feature length films\, they are the heart and soul of the festival. The program is free and all are welcome. Works which will be screened are unrated; some of the content is sophisticated and might not be suited to younger audiences. \nFilms:A Place of Spirit – Jury’s Choice6.5 min. by Natalie Conn and Jay Weichun\, Brooklyn\, NYThis is the story of Andrea Phillips\, a Staten Island based artist\, facing eviction from her home after 44 years.  Rather than center itself around the policy issues associated with Andrea’s eviction\, “A Place of Spirit” focuses on Andrea’s emotional and spiritual relationship to her eccentric\, unique and uncommon home.Something Like Whales – Jury’s Choice5 min. by Nora Sweeney\, Val Verde\, CA.In a dying industrial neighborhood in Cincinnati\, Ohio\, the Queensgate Train Yard pulses with life. A local worker describes the haunting sound emanating from the yard as ‘something like whales.’  This poetical film was shot in part with a camera obscura.  \nFor The Birds – You Be the Judge: Peoples’ Choice Award14 min. by Tara Atashgah\, Santa Monica\, CA. Inspired by a true story\, “For The Birds” follows a young Iranian girl as she is taken to the gallows to be hanged\, having been accused of adultery. In her final moments\, she imagines her fate in the hands of the surrounding townspeople.Close the Lid\, Gently: A Home Document Scan – Jury’s Choice5.5 min. by Ariana Gerstein\, Barton\, NY.A video made entirely from two home desktop scanners – one a photo scanner\, the other a refurbished low-end document scanner. Each has its own texture and sees the domestic environment in its own particular way\, one scan at a time. This piece deals with the deliberate misuse/re-purposing of commercial image producing machines for a slow\, individual\, low tech\, approach to the motion picture making process.The Apothecary – Jury’s Choice17 min. by Helen Hood Scheer\, Palo Alto\, CA.A moving portrait of beloved druggist\, Don Colcord\, in a rural Colorado outpost. Don is a man who operates the only pharmacy within 4\,000 square miles.  He navigates a profound divide between his public persona and his personal life.  To the community\, he is jovial and heroic.  At home\, he is impotent and isolated due to his wife’s disability.  “The Apothecary” explores notions of individual duty and obligation in the face of privately held grief and ambivalence. \nWise Choice or Lucky Guess – Directors’ Choice3.5 min. by Ellen Raines\, Fox Point\, WI.A recently deceased man has to make a choice between heaven and hell\, while sitting on an escalator.Rehearsal – Directors’ Choice 11 min. by Tom Rosenberg\, Austin\, TX.

SUMMARY:Seussical  - second show added at 12:15 pm
DESCRIPTION:10 AM SHOW SOLD OUT2nd Show Added at 12:15 pm  “Oh\, the thinks you can think” when Dr. Seuss’s best-loved stories collide and cavort in an unforgettable musical caper! Adapted from the Broadway version\, this adaptation especially for young audiences features thirteen actors and enhanced production values. Seussical is TheatreworksUSA’ biggest show ever!  \nThe Cat in the Hat is the host and emcee (and all-around mischief-maker) in this romp through the Seuss classics. When the sweet\, good-natured elephant Horton hears a small cry for help coming from a small speck of dust\, he promises to rescue and guard it because “a person’s a person\, no matter how small.”  \nOn that small speck of dust lives JoJo\, an imaginative young Who. JoJo has astounding “thinks\,” in which anything’s possible\, but his parents believe this creativity is inappropriate for the son of the Mayor of Who-Ville. Meanwhile\, the one-feathered bird\, Miss Gertrude McFuzz\, desperately wants Horton to notice her. Maybe\, she thinks\, she just needs a more impressive tail. At the same time\, the amazingly lazy Maysie La Bird connives\, cajoles and convinces Horton to sit on her egg while she goes off on a spree.  \nWill the planet of Who survive? Will Horton pay attention to Gertrude? Will Maysie ever return for her egg? Dr. Seuss’s beloved classic characters find themselves intertwined in an incredible crazy-quilt adventure\, in which the power of imagination and the most miraculous “think” ever save the day!  \n(Recommended for grades K – 5) \nFor more information and study sheets visit: www.theatreworksusa.org

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: National Theatre of London: Frankenstein
DESCRIPTION:This screening is CANCELLED due to the weather. It will be rescheduled for March 6.  Nick Dear’s Frankenstein \nNational Theatre Live’s 2010 broadcast of Frankenstein returns to cinemas as part of the National Theatre’s 50th anniversary celebrations. \nFrankenstein enjoyed a sell-out run at the National Theatre\, and went on to win awards including the 2012 Olivier Award for Best Actor for Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller.  \nOscar-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting\, Slumdog Millionaire) directs a sensational production. In this encore screening Benedict Cumberbatch (Star Trek: Into Darkness\, BBC’s Sherlock) plays Dr. Frankenstein and Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting\, CBS’s Elementary) his creation.  \nChildlike in his innocence but grotesque in form\, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes\, the friendless Creature\, increasingly desperate and vengeful\, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility\, parental neglect\, cognitive development\, and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale.

SUMMARY:National Theatre of London: Coriolanus
DESCRIPTION:Donmar Warehouse production of  \nShakespeare’s CORIOLANUS \nThurs. January 30\, 2014 \nNational Theatre Live will broadcast the Donmar Warehouse’s production of Coriolanus\, Shakespeare’s searing tragedy of political manipulation and revenge\, with Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers\, War Horse (film)\, BBC’s The Hollow Crown) in the title role and Mark Gatiss (Season’s Greetings at the National Theatre\, BBC’s Sherlock) as Menenius\, directed by the Donmar’s Artistic Director Josie Rourke. \nWhen an old adversary threatens Rome\, the city calls once more on her hero and defender: Coriolanus. But he has enemies at home too. Famine threatens the city\, the citizens’ hunger swells to an appetite for change\, and on returning from the field Coriolanus must confront the march of realpolitik and the voice of an angry people.
