Woods Theatre \nFrom an American town in the early 20th century\, we flash forward to a future dystopia where a severe water shortage has made public pay-per-use toilets a legal necessity. Urinetown was a hit Broadway musical in the early 21st century\, running for two and a half years. It won Tony Awards for its composer and lyricists Mark Hollman and Greg Kotis and Mr. Kotis also won for the book of the musical.  The show is a satirical take on social change (the police are represented by Officers Lockstock and Barrel)\, corporate greed (the pay toilets are run by “Urine Good Company”)\, and Broadway musicals themselves. One of the show’s characters – its hero Bobby Strong – was included as one of the 100 Greatest Roles in Musical Theatre. URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/urinetown/ LOCATION:Lauren K.

This was the era of sit-ins and tear gas\, of marches and assassinations. This was the era of Martin Luther King Jr.\, the Kennedys\, and LBJ and an America finally\, deliberately\, moving towards a future of equality regardless of skin color.   Now in conjunction with LA Theatre Works\, the foremost radio theatre company in the United States\, playwright and screenwriter Matt Pelfrey’s riveting stage adaptation of this classic American thriller comes to life in a “live-in-performance” radio drama. The show features a first-rate cast of TV and film actors\, complete with live sound effects\, and a connection to the audience rarely felt in a traditional dramatic play. Ball’s novel reflected the difficult and personal clashes of the time – the kind of daily encounters that showed ingrained racist attitudes and behaviors. The play demonstrates the slow evolution of attitudes\, but leaves the characters\, and America\, with a long way to go. In the Heat of the Night remains shockingly emblematic of America in the 1960s\, and how\, almost half a century later\, our nation is still conquering the demon of prejudice.

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 URL:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/event/aquila-theatres-wuthering-heights/ LOCATION:Pollak Theatre CATEGORIES:Artful Explorations of Gender,Arts at Monmouth,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.monmouth.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/07/Wuthering-Heights1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20140918T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20140918T210000 DTSTAMP:20260425T115153 CREATED:20180725T204611Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180725T204611Z UID:40810103156-1411066800-1411074000@www.monmouth.edu SUMMARY:National Theatre of London: Medea DESCRIPTION:Helen McCrory (The Last of the Haussmans) returns to the National Theatre to take the title role in Euripides’ powerful tragedy\, in a new version by Ben Power\, directed by Carrie Cracknell. \nMedea is a wife and a mother.
