Overview
Medea follows a brilliant foreign sorceress who sacrificed her home and family to bring great wealth and prestige to her husband, Jason, after she helped him win the Golden Fleece and built a life in Corinth. When Jason abandons Medea, and marries the younger princess of Corinth for political power, a betrayed Medea outsmarts her abusers and secures her own escape through her ruthless cunning, but with terrifying results. Written by Euripides and Directed by Kelly Morgan.
This event is open to the general public and welcomes all members of our university community.

They, Them, Those - A Stare & Share Living Museum Performance Art Exhibit
About
They, Them, Those is a thought-provoking exhibit asking the question: what is it in our nature that causes us to "other" our fellow man? Conceived, sculpted, and performed by the artists themselves. Exhibit tour followed by a post-performance discussion, moderated by Paula Collins of WORK Inc.
Presented by the Communications Media Department in association with Rollstone Congregational Church, Work Inc., and the Making Opportunity Count (MOC) Youth Innovation Center.
