New Plants
You'll see new plants in the Oren Gateway Center lobby, Admissions lobby, and refreshed plants in Lindell Library. There is just one person taking care of these plants, so please don't water them. If you have heard that caffeine is good for plants, it's not true, so please don't pour your extra coffee, tea, or "dew" in the pots! Contact me if you'd like to report any issues with the plants.
Concrete Work to be Finished Thursday
The concrete work between Old Main and Christensen Center is expected to be finished by Thursday morning (weather permitting). Please continue with caution around the area, workers, and equipment. Thank you.

Rehearsals begin September 15 and performance dates are October 31- November 9.
Description of A Midsummer Night's Dream:
With its potent mixture of love, comedy, lyricism, and stage magic, A Midsummer Night's Dream has continued to captivate audiences for over four centuries. Set in a mythical world of ancient Athens, moonlit woods, and fairy kingdoms, the play is a poignant and hilarious look at multifarious forms of human folly. Our production will imaginatively explore the play's rich and compelling themes (both overt and covert)--love, power, gender, sexuality, marriage, class, patriarchy--through a fresh, contemporary lens, as we mine the play's poetic, humorous, and magical power.
