LISTENING TO THE UNIVERSE WITH LASERS
Dr. Madeline Wade, Kenyon College
Friday, January 17, 7:30 pm
Mainstage Theatre, Kleist Center for Art & Drama, 95 E. Bagley Rd, Berea
Dr. Madeline Wade, the Lodish Faculty Dev Professorship and LIGO Team Collaborator at Kenyon College, will present a lecture on gravity waves and her work with Laser Interferometer Gravity wave Observatory (LIGO). Gravitational waves are disturbances in the curvature of space-time, generated by accelerated masses that propagate as waves at the speed of light. They were predicted in 1916 by Albert Einstein on the basis of his general theory of relativity. LIGO is the most sensitive “sensor” ever built and in 2017 and on February 11, 2016, the LIGO and Virgo Scientific Collaboration announced they had made the first direct observation of gravitational waves. This was, arguably, the most significant discovery of the century. So important that in 2017, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne and Barry Barish for their role in the direct detection of gravitational waves.
After the lecture, the Burrell Observatory will be open for viewing, weather permitting.
For questions, contact the Observatory Director at gkader@bw.edu, or the Department of Physics and Astronomy at 440-826-2312. | Buy tickets | |

Black Box Theatre, Kleist Center for Art & Drama
95 E. Bagley Road, Berea
What a summer it is! Family members, friends, and an ecologically-minded doctor snipe, quarrel, make up, and haplessly pursue love affairs that are never going to happen. They have all made their beds, and now it is time to watch them lye in the messy sheets. This group of misfits seems to always look at the glass as half empty in this play by the great Anton Chekhov. Uncle Vanya is a story about the universal human condition that is funny, poignant, and teaches us quite a bit about life and what makes it insufferable. | Buy tickets | |

Written & Directed by Shane Thatcher

MACS Acting Studio, Room 177
Math & Computer Science Building
139 Tressel Street, Berea
“It is essential to see [his life] because then one understands it better,” according to Theo van Gogh regarding his brother's art. The two brothers had made an oath to stand by each other, but that oath and their relationship comes under strain as Vincent continues down his path as an artist. How will poverty, illness, and existentialism influence Vincent’s paintings? And what do the history books get wrong? | Buy tickets | |

Directed by Sara Whale

What is beauty? What color is it, what gender is it, and who decides who is, or isn’t beautiful?? Inspired by Dr. Ana De Freitas Boe’s dissertation on gender, sexuality, and race in late18th century aesthetics, this production uses physicality and wit to examine the aesthetic of the human form, the lengths society goes to to find, enhance, and define it, and how things have changed, or not, in the last two plus centuries | Buy tickets | |

Strosacker Hall, Sandstone 3
120 E. Grand St., Berea
"Christianity in a world of evolution: Exploring the Upside-Down God" Christianity was a radical breakthrough in religious consciousness in the early Church but lost its power with the rise of modernity. Science has reawakened a new understanding of the Christian God through thinkers like Alfred North Whitehead and Teilhard de Chardin. We will explore their ideas on a relational God in a world of change and the significance of an upside down God. In particular we will focus on the life of Jesus as boundary-crosser and Christian life today as creating new wholes. | Buy tickets | |

A provocative adaptation by American playwright Steven Dietz restores the suspense and seduction of Bram Stoker's classic novel to the stage. As Count Dracula begins to exert his will upon the residents of London, they try to piece together the clues of his appearances—in a valiant attempt to save themselves from a hideous fate.
