Much Ado About Nothing
Oklahoma!
By William Shakespeare Adapted by Sherman L. Sergel Directed by Julian Stetkevych October 5-7 & 10-12 / Peebles Theatre “Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.” Love, wit, friendship, deceit and villainy collide in this grandfather of all rom-coms. Upon returning from war, one soldier discovers love at first sight, while another soldier and his old flame discover disdain. But which one will make it to the altar? Come for the verbal sparring, dance parties, bumbling security guards and shocking accusations; stay for the weddings!
Directed by TBD February 15-17 & 22-24 / Peebles Theatre In 1943 Broadway was forever changed when the iconic duo Rodgers and Hammerstein debuted their first musical as a writing pair. Innovative for its time, it seamlessly intertwines the stories of two suitors battling for the affections of an innocent frontierswoman and that of the plucky Ado Annie weighing her options between love and desire. Enjoy this golden-age musical as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of Oklahoma!
Mr. Burns By Anne Washburn Directed by Gregg Lloyd November 9-11 & 16-18 / Studio Theatre D'oh! An unknown global disaster has occurred! A group of survivors gathers around a campfire and tries to remember their favorite episode of “The Simpsons.” From this retelling emerges new stories, music and songs made from distant memories of the world that ended. As the play jumps decades into the future, the pop culture of today becomes the myths of tomorrow. "Mr. Burns" is an outrageous dark comedy filled with music and pageantry.
One-Act Play Festival
December 6-7 / Studio Theatre This student-directed, -acted and -designed festival has become a favorite of our audiences and a theatrical playground for our students’ imaginations. The Festival often celebrates the most cutting-edge contemporary plays in American theater.
10th Annual Dance Concert
March 21-22 / Peebles Theatre Join TheaterCNU for the 10th annual Dance Concert, which offers a variety of tap, ballet, jazz, modern and musical theater. This high-energy event features faculty, guest and student dancers and choreographers.
A Virginia Company: Historical Plays in Repertory "The Widow Ranter" by Aphra Behn and "The Candidates" by Robert Munford Directed by Laura Grace Godwin and Ann Mazzocca April 5-7 & 12-14 with a salon series / Studio Theatre TheaterCNU celebrates the quadricentennial of 1619 with one cast of actors performing two uniquely Virginian stories. "The Widow Ranter" by Aphra Behn, the first professional female playwright, tragicomically recounts Bacon’s Rebellion of 1676. Here colonists defy loyalists and love clashes with patriotism. On opposing performance dates, see "The Candidates" by Robert Munford, America's first comic playwright. This 1770s slapstick farce revolves around the politics and corruption of a typical Virginia election.

CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT
Judith Leiber (American, born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1921) is known for the creation of exquisitely designed couture women’s accessories that blur the boundaries between function and art, and adorns minaudières and compact cases with semiprecious stones. Her creations also include day bags, belts and pillboxes. Beautifully detailed both inside and out, each tiny minaudière takes months to fabricate with special attention paid to the construction, including the interior details and hardware. The Perfect Dress – Hubert De Givenchy says, “The perfect dress can make many things happen in a woman’s life. It can bring happiness. It is so nice to give happiness to your friends.” From debutantes balls to charity galas, and red-carpet events, to that one special wedding day, women look for the perfect dress for the perfect occasion only a few times in their lives. Carefully chosen for the occasion, a gown should flatter the wearer, demonstrate her sense of style and illustrate an understanding of the event’s significance. This exhibit looks at stylish evening wear; designers Oscar de la Renta, Hubert de Givenchy and Romona Keveza have been a part of these moments. These dresses exhibit that desire in women. These designers are known for making women feel special and beautiful. The exhibition highlights styles, silhouettes and colors that have been perennial favorites for many years. There is a perfect gown for every woman and every occasion. Roberto Coin: Jewelry – “Fashion is changeable. Style is not. Style is part of us, our life, in every moment and every expression.” The company that bears jewelry designer Roberto Coin’s name was founded in 1977 in Italy’s Vicenza. His creativity took shape through the hands of the historical and most renowned Italian jewelry artisans who brought his romantic and borderless imagination to life through their skills, telling his story through jewels that truly become works of art. This exhibit looks at pieces created by Coin throughout the years, the result of a thorough process, a journey among different cultures and multiethnic influences, through the world of nature, between echoes of the past and future projections.
Coin signs each piece with a small ruby casted inside the jewel, in direct contact with the skin of who wears it. This magical signature, surrounded by an antique halo of legend, represents the message of good wishes he dedicates to his passionate clientele.

Walk This Way – Enjoy a contemporary look at fashioninspired art created by artists throughout the United States. Artists across the nation are devoted to what might be considered a “lost art,” creating such handmade objects designed to be functional as well as beautiful, and reflective of both their own aesthetic and a wearer’s chosen style. This attention to handmade specificity, materials and aesthetic details elevates these useful adornments to the realm of art. Everyone lives within a CharismaSphere – an aura of adornment that reveals our persona to the world. Our CharismaSphere is a self-curated exhibition of ourselves as works of art. John and Kim Wadsworth’s entrancing CharismaSphere Portraits capture this dynamic fusion of spirit, fashion, beauty and style.
AFRICAN ART: POWER AND IDENTITY January 19-April 28, 2019 To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of Africans to the Virginia Colony In 1619 the first Dutch ship carrying 20 captured Africans landed in Virginia. Since then, the presence of Africans has had a profound impact on our culture. The first Africans in Virginia came from the Kongo/Angola regions of West Central Africa. This exhibit examines the visual arts of various cultural groups of Western and Central Africa with an emphasis on Ancient Mali. Works include textiles, figures, masks, pottery, baskets, jewelry and art associated with divination, altars, mask performances, rites of passage and personal adornment. The exhibit also includes Cash Crop by Stephen Hayes – 15 life-sized casts of the artist’s friends and family. The 15 statues, confined by shackles and bound to a wooden shipping pallet, represent the 15 million Africans forcefully brought to the New World. Viewers may walk in between them, stepping over and sometimes on the iron chains they are bound by, all evoking a feeling of trepidation and discomfort.
