He soon finds that he has bitten off more than he can chew when Mistress Ford and Mistress Page decide to take their revenge. With a trick or two up their respective sleeves, the ladies set out to teach both Falstaff and their husbands a lesson. Tickets: $5, $3 with Welcome Week Pass JEFFREY By Paul Rudnick September 30 – October 3 at 8 p.m. October 4 at 2 p.m. JOHNSON STUDIO THEATRE Jeffrey finds the pursuit of love and just plain old physical gratification to be the number-one preoccupation of his time — and the source of plenty of hilarity. Suddenly, just after he’s reconciled himself to celibacy, Jeffrey’s flamboyant friends introduce him to the man of his dreams, who also happens to be HIV-positive. What follows is an audacious and moving romantic comedy with a difference — one in which the quest for love and really fabulous clothes meet, and where unflagging humor prevails even when tragedy might be just around the corner.

The exhibition brings together national and international artists and designers exploring the current global condition and creative solutions to issues of access and sustainability through video, drawing, interactive media, printmaking, industrial and graphic design. Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have "The 39 Steps," a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! This two-time Tony® and Drama Desk Awardwinning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, more than 150 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of four), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance!

Plastic pollution is a primary culprit in degrading the ocean environment and threatening its inhabitants. Creating a rising tide of plastic water, Charzewski and Ludwig’s site-specific installation offers the viewer a glimpse into the future, as if there was no more clear water in the ocean, but only seas of broken-down plastic and their one remaining inhabitant.

While the cozies add a layer of ambiguity and tension, the photographs’ colors, patterns, objects and poses create meaning and construct identity. Ultimately, the photographs reveal to us our own ideas of identity and self and the ways in which our closest relationships can often walk the fine line between loving and smothering like an illfitting handmade sweater. See the work of tomorrow’s professional choreographers today! This showcase of modern dance works features the choreographic talents of senior dance majors.

On 20 small video monitors, anonymous domestic violence survivors recount personal traumas. As a collection, the concert of voices creates a symphony of incomprehensible words — the viewer must come close to hear each narrative clearly. Del Buono’s installation reminds audiences that there are real human beings behind the statistics. Del Buono will work with local organizations to capture the personal experiences of women in our community as part of the installation.
