| | The Rhinoceros (lab series)
By Eugene Ionesco
Translated by Derek Prouse
Directed by Mugs Johnson
Wednesday - Saturday, February 11-14, at 7:30pm
Kleist Center For Art & Drama Gallery
The sublime is confused with the ridiculous in this savage commentary on the human condition, a staple of every theatre classroom and 20th century drama. A small town is besieged by one roaring citizen who becomes a rhinoceros and proceeds to trample on the social order. As more citizens are transformed into rhinoceroses, the trampling becomes overwhelming, and more and more citizens become rhinoceroses. One sane man, Berenger, remains, unable to change his form and identity. | Get Tickets |
| | Dance Concert 2026: We’re All Mad Here
Thursday- Saturday, February 19-21 at 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, February 22 at 2:00 p.m.
Mainstage Theatre, Kleist Center for Art & Drama
Directed by Christina Lindhout
Featuring Choreography by Christina Lindhout, Sabrina Lindhout, Nyah Abshire, Nasir Banks, Bradley Hughes, Kenna Kemppel, and Geneva Millikan
What makes YOU mad?
Is it when you’re running late? Perhaps for a very important date? Is it when you’re feeling unheard or misunderstood? When the scales of injustice are improperly balanced? When the events of the world are unfolding faster than you can process them?
Have you ever thought that maybe it’s the world that’s gone mad? If that’s true, then perhaps the only way to exist in a mad world is to become mad yourself.
Join the talented dance students of BW as we explore the relativity-and relevance- of madness. You may just find that “we’re all mad here.” | Get Tickets |
