MU Theatre Department

A well-rested, post-Art in the Park KELSEY HAMMOND is here to invite everyone to this Friday's reception for the Members' Summer Show at the Columbia Art League. "It's a nice time to be around other people who appreciate art." Also, MU Theatre Department opens AIDA this Thursday at the Rhynsburger Theatre on the MU campus! If you're not familiar with the show, today's guests, LES GRAY and JOY POWELL, tell us all about it. (3:54) June 21, 2022

MU Theatre Department is ready to take you back to the year 1793 with Lauren Gunderson's play, 'The Revolutionists'. Director CLAIRE SYLER tells us about this "grand and dream-tweaked comedy" centered on four historical women whose names you'll probably recognize. Curtain goes up next Wednesday. Also, Carpet One Floor and Home general manager SCOTT BRADLEY explains what the heck marmoleum is and how it differs from the more widely-known linoleum. (4:39) April 21, 2022

If you're familiar with any entry in 'The War of the Worlds' lineage (the book, the radio broadcast, the movie...), then you have a general idea of what you're going to get when you go see MU Theatre Department's stage version of H.G. Wells' sci-fi classic, but there's still more to the story, according to assistant director LES GRAY! Also, BRITTANY WHITLEY is back with good news: MOST Policy Initiative is making a real impact in Jefferson City. "1 in 3 lawmakers know who we are and have asked us for information, in both parties."

The 2022 Mizzou New Play Series will once again be a Zoom-only experience, something director DAVID CRESPY says is actually "pretty effective" thanks to its minimalist approach that was the case even when MNPS was performed in-person, pre-pandemic. Tickets on sale now! Also, dietitian KRISTEN EIFFERT, Missouri Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, is here to talk about the fragmentation of people's access to good nutritional information.

The Fisher House Foundation hopes to break ground on a new development (on the grounds of Columbia's Truman Memorial Veterans' Hospital) in 2023. STEPHEN GAITHER tells us where the fundraising for this project stands after three short years. Also, KASEY LYNCH invites everyone to come see a series of "cutting-edge original and adapted works" titled 'Climate Change Action Theatre' tomorrow night on the MU campus. It's this year's 'Life and Literature Performance Series' selection. (4:03) September 21, 2021
