a Recital
Pianist Claude Cymerman and cellist Eric Edberg, both DePauw emeritus music professors, share their 36-year continuing musical friendship with romantic pieces by the German composer Luise Adolpha Le Beau (1850–1927) as well as music celebrating the “French connection” to the American Revolutionary and Civil Wars, particularly the role of the Marquis de Lafayette.
The Lunch Box concert is free, but reservations are recommended. An optional lunch from The Whisk, available for $15 on a first-come, first-served basis, is free to seniors over 65.
a Theatrical Performance
In a seventeenth century rural village a young woman named Alice takes as a lover a married man who lives on a neighboring farm. After she rebukes the man’s further advances both Alice and her widowed mother are accused of witchcraft following their neighbors’ growing family strife and agricultural failures. The two women eventually must submit to the doctors who would cure them as well as to the land speculators who covet their meager farm. Another kindred spirit, a betrothed young daughter of a prosperous landowner, is judged to be insane and is locked away because she doesn’t wish to marry. And in the minds of the local villagers, behind it all is Vinegar Tom, the stealthy black cat who is often seen lurking about, boldly plundering barns and milk sheds.
a Theatrical Performance
Actors From The London Stage, the renowned five-actor touring group, brings the Bard’s Twelfth Night to the Green Center for the Performing Arts. A delightful blend of mistaken identity, disguises and love triangles, Twelfth Night contains some of Shakespeare’s most famed passages, with its effervescent comic energy carried swiftly by deeper currents of grief, forgiveness and transformation. Gloriously entertaining,Twelfth Night is one of the great playwright’s most popular and enduring stories.
