| | REINHOLD AND MARGARET KADER MEMORIAL ASTRONOMY LECTURE & BURRELL MEMORIAL OBSERVATORY OPEN HOUSE
The James Webb Telescope
Cameron Seidl, NASA Engineer
Friday, March 17, at 7:30 p.m.
Mainstage Theatre, Kleist Center for Art & Drama
Cameron Seidl, an Engineer at NASA Glenn Research Center, will present a lecture on the James Webb Telescope. Not only were the engineering challenges far beyond that of Hubble, but its location in space also precludes any chance at a service mission. As the largest optical telescope in space, its high resolution and sensitivity allow it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. This will enable investigations across many fields of astronomy and cosmology, such as observation of the first stars, the formation of the first galaxies, and detailed atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets.
After the lecture, the Burrell Observatory will be open for viewing, weather permitting. | Get Tickets | |
| | CRIMES OF THE HEART
by Beth Henley
Directed by Martin Friedman

Loomis Acting Studio, Room 177
Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley centers on three sisters in Hazelhurst, Mississippi navigating their survival in the 1970's. Abandoned by their father, an act which subsequently leads to their mother's suicide, the play is a great character study of women that discover that men are superfluous to their ultimate success in the world. | Get Tickets | |

| | THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
by Oscar Wilde
Directed by René Copeland
Wednesday-Saturday, April 19-22, 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, April 23, 2:00 p.m.
Mainstage Theatre, Kleist Center for Art & Drama
The Importance of Being Earnest, a satirical comedy of manners, is one of Oscar Wilde's most popular plays, and for good reason. The characters are ridiculous, the plot is full of misunderstandings and mistaken identities, and through it all Algernon and Jack try to find true love while shooting barbs at the pompous and rigid Victorian society in which they find themselves. Written by a man who initially made a name for himself merely for being outrageously witty, the language of the play is a delightful, hilarious confection with unxpected turns. But as Miss Prism says, "The good end happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means." | Get Tickets | |
