The Guardian READ MORE\n\n\n\nSit a spell\, sip a pint\, and be spirited away to bewitching borderlands by this moving and magical comic fantasy. Based on the globally-acclaimed production by the National Theatre of Scotland\, the original artistic team of The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart has reunited to bring the runaway hit of the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival back to the stage–and back to Convos where we had a sold-out run in 2012.  \n\n\n\nInspired by the Scottish Border Ballads–centuries old songs\, speaking of supernatural occurrences along the England-Scotland border–the tale finds uptight academic Prudencia Hart departing one wintry morning for a conference in the borderlands. What awaits her is an enchanting and suspenseful journey of devilish encounters\, wittily wild karaoke\, and dreamlike self-discovery. Renowned Scottish playwright David Greig connects the dots between contemporary themes\, Scottish culture and identity\, and the grand tradition of writing for the stage\, by weaving a tale set in the current time but using largely rhymed verse. With razor-sharp turns\, Prudencia is manically funny and soul-searching\, often within the same stanza.  \n\n\n\nPrudencia is a full-tilt immersive theatrical experience. The actors will madly traverse our historic Duncan Hall\, magically transformed for the night into a Scottish pub. With action everywhere around you\, Prudencia takes you on an epic journey of vivid imagination. \n\n\n\nThe Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart… “Wow!”Supporting Innovative Performances at Purdue takes a village.

The conspirators find they must contend with forces still loyal to the murdered leader\, led by Mark Antony and Caesar’s nephew\, Octavius.

For more than 200 years\, the romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy has captivated audiences in novel form and the 2005 film version starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen.

SWAY’s new show\, Bloom!\, is a 20-minute\, vibrant experience inspired by the brilliant colors of Smoky Mountain wildflowers.

Does that sound eerily current or quaintly historic? Or is it simply that the themes of Shakespeare’s classic “Scottish Play” remain eminently applicable after 400-plus years? Palace intrigue and shocking betrayals are nothing new. However\, the highly regarded Aquila Theatre will make the relevance surprisingly fresh with their creative vision of this classic. Having toured nationwide for decades\, Aquila continues to earn recognition\, as famed producer and playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda recently invited them to celebrate the National Endowment for the Arts in the U.S. Capitol. This electrifying rendition of Macbeth is keenly aware that a certain sound and fury persists. \n\n\n\nThis performance is part of a collaboration with the Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts Curriculum to present a two-production residency with Aquila Theatre Company—featuring The Great Gatsby and Macbeth. Following engagements in prior seasons with productions of Frankenstein\, The Odyssey and 1984\, Convocations will again engender deep curricular engagement across campus for students in the Cornerstone program. Faculty across all disciplines\, however\, are also invited to connect to these works for your students.

Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby remains a vivid account of how\, in the absence of true equality\, pursuing the “American dream” can lead to devastating effects. Jay Gatsby\, a working-class war veteran\, reinvents himself as a self-made millionaire to become the man he believes his one-time love\, wealthy heiress Daisy Buchanan\, would want. Their rekindled affair triggers a domino effect of destruction\, in which obsession masquerades as love and the wealthy wield prejudice as a weapon. Known for its powerful immersion in classic texts\, Aquila Theatre brings a soberingly relevant reimagination of Fitzgerald’s classic in which Gatsby is a man of color\, setting the stage for themes of class\, racism and discrimination to play vividly inside the meaning of the American dream. \n\n\n\nThis performance is part of a collaboration with the Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts Curriculum to This performance is part of a collaboration with the Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts Curriculum to present a two-production residency with Aquila Theatre Company—featuring The Great Gatsby and Macbeth.

Rigged like a sailing ship and sized like a house\, two giant puppet hands propel this outdoor spectacle alongside a live performance of propulsive progressive rock from Squonk Opera. For 25 years\, these Pittsburgh post-industrialists have fused music\, design\, science and art to bring people face to face in festive ways that The New York Times has called “ingenious\, hallucinatory and hypnotic.” Indeed\, the only things heavy-handed here are the massive mitts\, which audience members can even help manipulate to become part of the fun. This timely\, boisterous extravaganza of comic invention\, fantastic jams and shared experience is a show of hands that’s larger than life. \n\n SUPPORT THIS FREE PERFORMANCE \nPROTECT PURDUE POLICIES URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/hand-to-hand/ LOCATION:Purdue Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Music,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Squonk-header.png ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.4401775;-86.9261008 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20210415T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20210415T193000 DTSTAMP:20260422T151618 CREATED:20210205T152936Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210402T220043Z UID:10000313-1618515000-1618515000@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Baldwin and Buckley at Cambridge DESCRIPTION:In 1965 James Baldwin and William F. Buckley\, Jr. were invited to The Cambridge University Union to debate the resolution “The American Dream is at the Expense of The American Negro.” The result was a provocative and profoundly relevant confrontation between Baldwin\, one of the most powerful figures of the civil rights movement\, and Buckley\, often considered the father of 20th Century patrician conservatism. Building on its history of staging unconventional texts\, New York-based ensemble Elevator Repair Service (ERS) will present the debate verbatim in a special video preview of this new work. As a more intimate and personal counterpoint to the debate\, the final scene features a brief\, imagined reunion between Baldwin and his close friend and confidante Lorraine Hansberry\, who died only weeks before the debate. \nThe piece was conceived in late 2019 by long-time ERS company member Greig Sargeant. In the many months since those early conversations\, the subject of the debate has only become more urgent. With both 1965 and 2021 in mind\, Baldwin and Buckley at Cambridge – through a starkly simple design and an acting style that favors intimacy over impersonation – presents the debate as real\, immediate\, and of this moment. \n  \n  \n  URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/baldwin-and-buckley-at-cambridge/ LOCATION:IN CATEGORIES:Theatre,Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/bnb1920x600.png ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
