Set against a backdrop of murder\, scandal\, and the supernatural\, Hamlet contains more than a few of Shakespeare’s most famous passages concerning “the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.”  \n\n\n\nActors From The London Stage return to Purdue for an encore week-long residency\, deftly combining minimal staging with essential props and simple costumes. Each actor shares responsibility for the direction of the play and performs two or three major roles (as well as several minor ones). Through imagination and collaboration\, the cast conjures Shakespeare’s immortal words and worlds into being. \n\n\n\nYouth Series for Middle and High School Students\n\n\n\nTeachers: Purdue Convocations is presenting a special one-hour guided tour of Hamlet geared towards middle and high school students February 28\, 2025 at 12PM.LEARN MORE \nYOUTH MATINEE: FEB. 28\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHIS PERFORMANCE POWERED BY:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRelated Events\n\n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n Menopause The Musical 2: Cruising Through ‘The Change’® \n \n Saturday\, April 25 / 3:00 pm EDT \n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n Menopause The Musical 2: Cruising Through ‘The Change’® \n \n Saturday\, April 25 / 7:30 pm EDT \n\n \n\n\n\n\nALL EVENTS\n\n\n\n\nPICK5 + SAVE Did you know that if you buy 5 shows or more (not 5 tickets)\, you save an average of 10% off single-ticket prices?

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. Ticket sales for Prudencia covered less than 50% of the total expenses of this presentation—so without the embrace of adventurous arts lovers like you\, this rollicking journey across the borderlands would not have been possible\, by gosh…  READ MORE\n\n\n\nBefore you go\n\n\n\nWe’re thrilled to invite you to this full-tilt immersive experience. Please give yourself ample time for street parking around Duncan Hall. \n\n\n\nDoors open 60 minutes before curtain and a cash bar is available. \n\n\n\nDue to the nature of the performance\, latecomers cannot be seated\, so come early and enjoy a cèilidh – the grand Scottish tradition of good times\, good friends\, and aye\, yes\, the fruits of the pub\, beginning 60 minutes prior to curtain. \n\n\n\nRecommended for ages 14 and up. Contains moments of mild profanity and adult references deliciously delivered in rhymed verse with a Scottish accent. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW SPONSORS URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/the-strange-undoing-of-prudencia-hart/ LOCATION:Duncan Hall\, 619 Ferry St.\, Lafayette\, IN\, 47901 CATEGORIES:Innovative,Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Prudencia-Digital-Program.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.4197605;-86.889648 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Duncan Hall 619 Ferry St. Lafayette IN 47901;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=619 Ferry St.:geo:-86.889648,40.4197605 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20221111T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20221111T200000 DTSTAMP:20260420T164710 CREATED:20220707T233000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221110T151711Z UID:10000374-1668196800-1668196800@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Julius Caesar DESCRIPTION:Aquila Theatre\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS ON SALE NOW!\n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\nPICK5 + SAVE\n\n\n\n\n\nGROUP ORDER FORM\n\n\n\n\n\nTakes the classics off their pedestals and presents them as live action\, flesh and blood adventures.

The conspirators find they must contend with forces still loyal to the murdered leader\, led by Mark Antony and Caesar’s nephew\, Octavius. The play reaches its climax when the two opposing sides meet in battle at Philippi\, and the fate of a nation hangs in the balance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPROGRAM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW SPONSORS URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/julius-caesar/ LOCATION:Loeb Playhouse\, 128 Memorial Mall\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Theatre ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/CAESAR1920x1080.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.42508;-86.912651 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Loeb Playhouse 128 Memorial Mall West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=128 Memorial Mall:geo:-86.912651,40.42508 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20221110T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20221110T193000 DTSTAMP:20260420T164710 CREATED:20220707T233000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221110T151505Z UID:10000373-1668108600-1668108600@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Pride and Prejudice DESCRIPTION:Aquila Theatre\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS ON SALE NOW!\n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\nPICK5 + SAVE\n\n\n\n\n\nGROUP ORDER FORM\n\n\n\n\n\n…a classically trained\, modernly hip troupe… The New York Times \n\n\n\nThe supply chain of English classical theatre to Purdue remains strong thanks to New York City’s Aquila Theatre. Following its take on Macbeth and The Great Gatsby last spring\, Aquila will present Jane Austen’s fan-favorite Pride and Prejudice. 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. This performance gives Austen fans a chance to see the love affair full of delightful and romantic misunderstandings\, class satire\, and English country dances come to life thanks to her beloved rom com. \n\n\n\nPre-Show Discussion\n\n\n\n\n\n2-part pre-show discussion of the play adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice with Professor Tara Cuthbertson\, Purdue University’s Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE STORY \nPublished in 1813\, Jane Austen’s ultimate romantic comedy\, Pride and Prejudice\, has stood the test of time. As the Bennet sisters try to navigate their way toward love and marriage\, Austen humorously skewers the hypocrisies and absurdities of the English class system\, and puts the thoughts and feelings of her women characters front and center.

But an even more important transformation awaited in Montgomery\, Alabama as Rosa Parks\, an African-American woman\, refused to give up her seat on a city bus to a white passenger. Her protest ignited America’s Civil Rights movement and forever changed our nation. Through music and drama\, this production from Mad River Theater Works—which dramatized the Freedom Riders’ story at Purdue in 2017—recounts Parks’ life while dispelling reductive myths about her protest to paint a complex\, comprehensive portrait of her Civil Rights leadership. Exciting and inspirational\, Walk On: The Story of Rosa Parks shows how individual determination makes a difference in freedom and equality for all. \nPRE-SHOW ACTIVITIES | 2PM | STEWART CENTER LOBBY\nJoin the Purdue Black Cultural Center and the Girl Scouts of Central Indiana for pre-show activities.

Across centuries and civilizations\, his epic poem The Odyssey became one of the world’s most famous tales. This mighty\, moving story follows Odysseus on his decade-long journey home from war—using skill\, strength and intellect to survive a fantastical array of creatures\, sorcerers\, monsters and divine forces. In the tradition of oral performance by skilled bards across the Mediterranean\, Aquila Theatre brings The Odyssey to life onstage. A tree of life from which Western fiction grew\, The Odyssey remains a testament to the human spirit\, the will to wander and the yearning for home. \n\nThis performance is part of a two-production mini-residency with Aquila Theatre Company. Following Aquila’s dynamic production of Frankenstein last season\, Convocations will again engender deep curricular engagement across campus with stage adaptations of the iconic literary works\, Homer’s Odyssey and Orwell’s 1984. \nPRE-SHOW TALK | 6:30PM | STEWART CENTER 279\nJoin Dr. Mike Johnston\, an Associate Professor in the Department of English\, and Dr. Daniel Conner\, Assistant Professor of Teaching in the School of Languages and Cultures\, for a discussion about the evening’s performance. \nPLEASE NOTE: \nThe Aquila Theatre production of The Odyssey will include simulated gunshots (audio) and replica/dummy firearms.  \n2019/20 BIG READ\nPurdue’s Big Read is designed to enrich Purdue and Greater Lafayette through literature.
