Traina Center for the Arts, Schiltkamp Gallery - Free and open to the public
Valerie Claff, who teaches in the Studio Art Program at Clark University, and Timothy Nolan met in the summer of 1987 at the Studio School of the Aegean on the island of Samos, Greece. For many years they continued to return to Samos to live and create art where they witnessed the growth and development of each other's work. Twenty-two years later they live and work on opposite ends of the United States, but they continue to share an artistic relationship and friendship. "Trajectory" is a show presenting the work of these two artists today. While the work may appear to be very different visually, it is rooted in shared aesthetics, influences and inspiration. Both artists look forward to tracking how the dialogue they shared early in their respective careers continues to manifest itself today.

The Schiltkamp Gallery is open Monday through Thursday 9 am to 9 pm, Friday 9 am to 4 pm, Saturday 12 to 4 pm and Sunday 12 to 9 pm
Call for hours: October 9th-14th

COLUMBINUS
Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, 11/12/2009 - 11/21/2009 8:00 PM-10:00 PM
Little Center, Michelson Theater - $5.00 Admission or Free with College ID
A play sparked by the April 1999 massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, columbinus is a meeting of fact and fiction that illuminates the realities of adolescent culture by exploring the events surrounding the shootings. The play weaves together excerpts from discussions with parents, survivors and community leaders in Littleton as well as police evidence to bring to light the dark recesses of American adolescence. When columbinus premiered in 2005 at the Round House Theatre, Peter Marks of the Washington Post called it, "An ambitious examination of the suburbanization of evil," and the play went on to receive five Helen Hayes Award nominations including the Charles MacArthur Award for Outstanding New Play. Following the off-Broadway opening at New York Theatre Workshop one year later, Variety proclaimed, "This one comes straight from the gut, a wrenching return to the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School in which 12 students and a teacher were killed when two senior classmates went on a shooting rampage. The United States Theatre Project's smart and sensitive treatment of the event, which traumatized a suburban Colorado community and shocked the entire country, stirs up thought and feeling in this clean ensemble production, drawn from interviews, public records and the private diaries of the shooters."
