Spring Awakening by Frank Wedekind (English Translation by Jonathan Franzen)
8 p.m., ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Theatre
Written in 1891 and not performed uncensored for decades, this "children's tragedy" is as much a statement about sexual morality and bourgeois hypocrisy today as it was a century ago. A group of teens experience a sexual awakening, becoming curious about their bodies, each other, masturbation and more. Teachers and parents fight to protect them, with both hilarious and disastrous results. Mature content.

The Seagull by Anton Chekhov
8 p.m., David Spinks Theatre
Konstantin loves his mother but is jealous of her fame and depressed about his lack of success as a playwright. He despises the celebrated young writer who lives with her and seems to have captured the attention of the girl he adores. Passions abound and idealism is challenged by triviality in this absorbing drama from the master of comic realism.

Artists and friends paying homage to Stravinsky

trevor.kenney — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 18:10:44 +0000

Music by one of the greatest composers of the 20th century closes the U of L Faculty Artists and Friends concert series. Homage to Stravinsky on April 4, 8 p.m. in the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Recital Hall, features an array of his masterpieces.

A highlight of the program is Igor Stravinsky's delightful The Soldier's Tale for instrumental ensemble and three speakers.

"This modern folk fable tells how a soldier returning home on leave is tricked by the devil out of his cherished violin, his sweetheart and five years of his life in return for a book that reveals future stock prices," explains Dr. Brian Black. "The soldier becomes immensely wealthy through the magic of the book but yearns for his previous happiness. Finally he decides to confront the devil, defeat him and win back all that he has lost."

Also featured in the concert are Stravinsky's Faun and Shepherdess, the early song cycle that first revealed the composer's genius, a sultry Tango for piano and the Three Pieces for Clarinet, inspired in part by Stravinsky's interest in jazz.

Several Music Department faculty are performing, including: Dr. Sandra Stringer, Margaret Mezei, Trudi Mason, Nick Sullivan, Peter Visentin, Adam Mason, Dr. Thomas Staples and Dr. Deanna Oye.

Joining faculty performers as special guests are some old friends, Dr. George Evelyn as the narrator, Peter Monaghan as the soldier, and some new friends, bassoonist Michael Macaulay and the double bassist George Amorim.

Tickets are $15 regular and $10 student/senior from the U of L Box Office, 403-329-2616.
