Students from Ball State University's Department of Theatre and Dance will combine a whirlwind of mistaken identities, slamming doors and compromising plot twists in the hilarious farce "Lend Me a Tenor," opening on the University Theatre stage March 29 at 7:30 p.m. Additional performances are scheduled March 30-31 and April 4-7, with a matinee at 2:30 p.m. April 1. "The play was a smash hit on Broadway and continues to be popular with audiences nearly 30 years later," said Michael O'Hara, director of the production and associate dean of the College of Fine Arts. "I'm thrilled to return to one of my favorite comedies."

The play starts on the biggest night in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. The year is 1934, and the guest artist, world famous Italian tenor Tito Morelli, is nowhere to be found. Even worse, when Morelli finally appears, a blackout-inducing combination of alcohol and sedatives leaves the company's assistant manager, Max, believing he is dead. What follows is a chain reaction of hilarious confusion and mistaken identity as Max tries to save the performance in this screwball comedy.

Students have been rehearsing the play since the beginning of February. A farce typically takes time to get all the mechanical aspects worked out, doors opening and closing, sleight of hand, timing and several props, O'Hara said.

"Because this cast is made up of undergraduates, the physical comedy they're able to achieve is simply amazing," he added. "The amount of energy and physicality they infuse into the comic moment is worthy of anyone's attention."

Tickets for the performance cost $13 for the general public, $12 for faculty and staff, $10 for senior citizens and $7 for students. They are available from the University Theatre Box Office, open from noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Contact the box office at 765-285-8749 or visit www.bsu.edu/theatre for more information.

Every Sunday, egos are crushed and legends are born at Trivia Brawl. Come and play for free, solo or with a team, and show off your command of all knowledge trivial. Win, and split up a a $50 Doc's gift certificate on food, drinks, tickets, or merchandise. Every game is six rounds of trivia questions on a wide variety of topics in pop culture, science, history, and current events. Every tenth question is part of our inadvertent quest to discriminate against the deaf, and has players listening to a song and attempting to identify its title, band, and album. The sixth round is a special visual aid round in which the blind are instead at an unfair disadvantage. Team signup starts at 9pm, and unless we go into a Sudden Death Lightning Bloodfeud Overtime Round (of Death)™, the game tends to wrap up at about 11pm.

On the second Wednesday of every month, The Artist Within and the Full Circle Arts Co-op host a roundtable meeting for Muncie's arts community from 7pm to 8pm. All are invited to join and discuss community projects and the promotion and development of the local arts.

The meeting will be immediately followed by Full Circle's monthly public board meeting.

Learn the basic calligraphy lettering style of italics, which gives you the foundation and knowledge to use several letter styles (Celtic, Old English, and etc.) You will learn the strokes involved to create designs ranging from elaborate documents to personalized notes for your family and friends. Course is taught by Muncie native, Paula Sullivan, who has been a lettering artist for more than 32 years.

Presenter: Austin Lugar
Throughout the years one cult show has continued to grow on a large international level. For many, Doctor Who was just the weird show that played on PBS late at night with the people in funny accents and ridiculously long scarfs. After its reboot in 2005, it's one of the biggest shows in England and a favorite for many Americans as well. Austin Lugar will take a look at the full history of the show that has stretched for almost 50 years. The talk will serve as a celebration for the fans who have loved it for years but also as a humorous (and accessible) guide for those who have never heard of Time Lords or the TARDIS. After the speech, there will be a panel discussion with Professor Sonny Wingler and undergraduates Ian Shepherd and Leigh Montano as they look at how there are so many different ways to enjoy the show.

Presenter: Austin Lugar
Doctor Who was on for 1963-1989 with seven different actors playing The Doctor. After a failed FOX TV movie in 1996, it seemed that the show was dead forever. Yet one ambitious producer rebooted the franchise in 2005 with high critical success and a new generation of fans. No longer are there cheesy costumes or wobbly sets, but slick special effects, incredible stories and surprisingly emotional depth. In a fun look at the past 7 years of the show, Austin Lugar will talk about why this show is so special. (This will be an entirely different talk than the one on Wednesday and there won't be too many spoilers for new fans.)

Every Sunday, egos are crushed and legends are born at Trivia Brawl. Come and play for free, solo or with a team, and show off your command of all knowledge trivial. Win, and split up a a $50 Doc's gift certificate on food, drinks, tickets, or merchandise. Every game is six rounds of trivia questions on a wide variety of topics in pop culture, science, history, and current events. Every tenth question is part of our inadvertent quest to discriminate against the deaf, and has players listening to a song and attempting to identify its title, band, and album. The sixth round is a special visual aid round in which the blind are instead at an unfair disadvantage. Team signup starts at 9pm, and unless we go into a Sudden Death Lightning Bloodfeud Overtime Round (of Death)™, the game tends to wrap up at about 11pm.

Mrs. Gloria Griner, retired professor of piano, music education and piano for conductors at Ball State University, will be performing for the Muncie Symphony Orchestra as part of the Westminster Concert Series.

Mrs. Griner, a local pianist, is known for her long time dedication to the arts within the Ball State Community.  A founding board member of the Muncie Symphony Orchestra, Gloria has dedicated both her time and talents to the symphony.  Mrs. Griner is also an active member at the Ball State University Museum of Art as a sustaining member and past president of the Ball State University Art Alliance.  Both Gloria and her husband Ned have been long time supporters of the museum.   Mrs. Griner has also developed a significant part of the community engagement on behalf of the Museum of Art, as a former member of the Art Museum’s Benefactors Society.  Mrs. Griner will perform works by Debussy, as well as a host of the worlds most beautiful classical pieces.  The concert will be a unique and beautiful experience, as Mrs. Griner shares a portion of her vast background from a spectrum of visual and musical artistry.
