Written by a woman who is known for her spectacular storytelling skills through ensemble work, (like her well-known Tony-winning Metamorphoses, dealing with Greek mythology) in this highly theatrical piece she tackles the dark underside of a group of lesser-known fairy tales. What happens when a child, left with a babysitter, discovers that the babysitter is literally an ogre? And the babysitter begins to read from a book, and the characters in each tale materialize…? Come see this telling of tales with, as the LA Times described it, “decidedly adult chills.” | Get Tickets |

| | MARTING HUMANITIES LECTURE SERIES
All too Humanist? What tiny houses and a 19th-century Austrian mansion say about life in a time of ecological crisis
Featuring Dr. Katra Byram, Associate Professor of German, The Ohio State University
Thursday, October 19, at 5:30 p.m.
Marting Hall, Room 114
Byram's first book, "Ethics and the Dynamic Observer Narrator: Reckoning with Past and Present in German Literature," examines 19th- and 20th-century novels to investigate the relationship between modern identity, narrative form and German efforts to reckon with social and historical change.
She is currently at work on two projects: one exploring how ecological crisis affects our ideas and stories about what it means to be a human self and the other examining how gender has shaped German memories of WWII.
Byram has recently discussed her work publicly with Professor David Staley on the College of Arts and Sciences Voices of Excellence from Arts and Sciences podcast, with Professor Frederick Aldama on his Professor Latinx YouTube channel and at TEDxOhioStateUniversity 2020. She is also a core member of Project Narrative and co-editor of the Ohio State University Press book series Theory and Interpretation of Narrative. | Get Tickets |

The Dining Room is a uniquely American comedy of manners.

| | THE LARAMIE PROJECT
By Moisés Kaufman
Directed by Eric Golovan
Thursday-Saturday, November 16-18, at 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, November 19, at 2:00 p.m.
Loomis Acting Studio #177, Loomis Hall
The Laramie Project is a breathtaking theatrical experience that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable. In 1998, twenty-one-year-old Matthew Shepard died after being kidnapped, severely beaten, and left tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming because he was gay. Kaufman and Tectonic Theater Project have constructed this deeply moving play from interviews and their own experiences visiting Laramie. The student director, Eric Golovan, said, “I want people to talk about what happened to Matthew Shepard in 1998 so that we can all realize that we as a society, even in 2023, have not fully learned our lesson.” | Get Tickets |
