News & Announcements

Looking for Art? The Art Studio Senior Exhibition, being held in the Hillstrom Museum of Art, is a time when campus community members might consider buying art for their offices or departments. Numerous times throughout the year, faculty and staff ask the art department if there is any art available for display in their respective work areas. The art department does not have art work available to loan out. The student work is reasonably priced and purchasing it would show support and provide work areas with an enrichment that may be enjoyed for years. See the Honors Day schedule in Upcoming Events for more information about the exhibit.

Macbeth to Close the Theatre Season... William Shakespeare's Macbeth will be presented May 10-13 in Anderson Theatre. This final mainstage performance of the Gustavus theatre season is directed by Amy Seham and runs at 8 p.m. May 10-12 and 2 p.m. May 12-13. To develop the supernatural themes of the play, Seham enlisted the help of Beth Peterson, artistic associate of In The Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre of Minneapolis. According to Seham, large puppets of witches, birds, and other occurrences bring out "the uniquely wicked world of 'the Scottish Play'." These puppets, along with technical director Terena Wilken's stage design and Andrew Vorder Brugge's choreographed sword fights, set the stage for the evil darkness Shakespeare created with Macbeth. Tickets are available at the Information Center in the Campus Center.
