| | THE RESISTIBLE RISE OF ARTURO UI
By Bertolt Brecht
Directed by Martin Friedman
Friday and Saturday, March 20 and 21, at 7:30 pm
Lindsay-Crossman Chapel
56 Seminary Street, Berea
The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is a savage satire on the rise of Hitler, wittily transposed into a small-time gangster’s takeover of Chicago’s green grocery trade. There is a seam of black comedy which runs through this political parable but it does not lessen the sharpness of its accusation. Ui is one of Brecht’s most intense creations, and Brecht points to the resistibility of his rise, and on the society that permitted it. | Buy tickets | |
| | BURRELL OBSERVATORY SERIES:
THE RACE TO FINDING LONGITUDE:
The competition between the astronomers and the clock makers to find longitude at sea.
Gary Kader, Director, Burrell Memorial Observatory
Friday, March 20, at 7:30 pm
Mainstage Theatre, Kleist Center for Art & Drama, 95 E. Bagley Rd, Berea
This lecture on finding longitude addresses is one of the great challenges of the 18th century - the determination of longitude at sea. The nation that succeeded would dominate militarily and trade. To do so required accurate time keeping. The astronomers pursued a method using the heavens while the clock makers strove to perfect the clock.
The lecture will be presented in the Main Stage Theater located in the Kleist Center for Art and Drama.
Note: Dr. Scott Gaudi of The Ohio State University was originally scheduled to present a lecture on the search for life beyond our solar system on this date, but had to cancel.
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 | |

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.
