Godspell Preview and Discussion
Weekday Brown Bag
|
Tuesday, March 10th noon to 1pm Bring your lunch and join us at the OSU Urban Arts Space as director
Mandy Fox previews and discusses her upcoming production of Godspell. Based loosely on the Episcopal Hymnal and The Gospel According to St. Matthew, Godspell
is a whimsical blend of song, dance, mime, charades, vaudeville
routines, and impersonations. This rock musical began as a workshop
production of a graduate student's master's thesis, but with a
delightful and enduring Stephen Schwartz score that includes Day By Day, All Good Gifts, and By My Side, it developed into one of the biggest musical theatre successes of all time.
This preview is part of our weekday programming offered throughout
the month.
Locally hand-roasted coffee is generously provided by Cafe Brioso. Bring your lunch and
enjoy.

Stage | Studio: Space Transformed
Public Performance
|
Friday, March 13th
6:30 - 7:30pmOver the past 5 weeks, all ten of OSU's acting MFA students have been working to create site-specific performance work at the OSU Urban Arts Space. Tonight they will perform these works.
The performance works are based on the aesthetic they have put
forth in their manifestos and in response to the gallery. Not only have they created the performances, but also the stage sets which dually function as installations. After the performances
are complete the found-object installations along with the videotaped
manifestos will remain in the space as an exhibit until Friday, April
3rd.
The actors will be creating and rehearsing the pieces
during the UAS normal hours of operation.
The general public is invited
to view the rehearsal process.
After the performance visit Tip Top Kitchen & Cocktails and try our very own: Urban Artists' Special. It's very special indeed and its only $3.
