"Subversive
Stitch"
The artists highlighted by this exhibition challenge all
of the conventions defining "needlework." Their
artworks sculpt two and three dimensional surfaces from
found, fused and distressed materials, questioning and extending
the traditional associations of the needle arts with domesticity,
ornament and caretaking. These artists tell stories - each,
in their own way, subversive - of what it means to do "women's
work." This exhibit, which includes the work of cancer
survivors, takes place during Breast Cancer Awareness month
to bolster support for a disease that affect one in every
four women.

"The
Assassins"
American Musical by Stephen Sondheim
Directed by Pacific Professor Jamer Haffner
Bold, original, surreal, disturbing, thought-provoking and
alarmingly funny, "Assassins" is perhaps
the most controversial musical ever written. This musical
lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated
or tried to assassinate the President of the United States,
in a one-act historical "revusical" that explores
the dark side of the american experience. From John Wilkes
Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman
bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish
coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from
different historical periods meet, interact and in an intense
final scene inspire each other to harrowing acts in the
name of the American Dream. An intimate acting piece, "Assassins"
contains some of the finest scene writing in recent
memory as well as a brilliant, melodic score which pastiches
American music throughout the ages, from folk to ragtime
to 1970s soft rock.

"Interior
and Exterior Convergence"
Photography by Jennifer Little
Jennifer Little MFA is a recent graduate of the University
of Texas, Austin and new faculty member in the Department
of Visual Arts. This introductory exhibition surveys the
development of her photography. Little's work is thematically
grounded in autobiography and executed through large-scale
color photographs. Reflecting on her process Jennifer states:
"Through photography and art I seek a better understanding
of my own past, family history, relationships, and psychology.
I seek out illusion within reality and capture it on film.
I create a vision of the world that is a bit surpising and
unreal in terms of the viewer's normal experience of visual
reality. By photgraphing the external world, I gain greater
insight into my own inner mind. The creative act becomes
it's own cathasis."

"Dancing
at Lughnasa"
Irish Playwright Brian Freil
Directed by Pacific Professor William Wollack
Winner of the 1992 Tony Award for Best Play, the Outer Critics
Circle Award for best Broadway Play and the New York Drama
Critics Circle Award for Best Play. Chosen by Time magazine
as one of the ten best plays for 1991, saying it is "The
most elegant and rueful memory play since the Glass Menagerie."
Widely regarded as Brian Friel's masterpiece, this extraordinary
play is the story of five unmarried sisters, one with a
young son, eking out their lives in a small village in Ireland
in 1936. It is the time of the festival of Lughnasa, which
celebrates the pagan god of the harvest with drunken revelry
and dancing. Their spare existence is interrupted by brief,
colorful bursts of music from the radio, their only link
ot the romance and hope of the world at large. When the
sisters finally dance to a wild, pagan Irish tune, they
embody the core of the human spirit that cannot be vanquished
by time or loss, or fully expressed in language. "...
this play does exactly what theatre was born to do, carrying
both its characters and audience aloft on those waves of
distant music and ecstatic release that, in defiance of
all language and logic, let us dance and dream just before
night must fall." - NY Times. "This is no way
a play to be missed - simply a wondrous experience. Experince
it." - NY Post.
