As you’ve probably heard by now, the world is set to end sometime in 2012 after the conclusion of a notorious Mesoamerican calendar. Including this end-of-days myth with the creative and technical process of a theatrical work, Loyola professor emeritus, Nick Patricca is offering a unique Theatre Masterclass at University of Chicago’s Rockefeller Memorial Chapel.
Along with director Cecilie Keenan and producer Elizabeth Davenport, the three will conduct a Saturday afternoon masterclass series February 25, March 3, and March 10 that examines the context of these myths while learning about theatrical production processes. After the third class, preparation for The Fifth Sun‘s performance will begin for those interested. Performances will be held at 7:30PM on March 30 and 31.

Whether or not you actually watched the Super Bowl, you’ve probably been inundated with sports talk over the past week. If you were overwhelmed with all the football jargon (and bad commercials), you can revert to the other end of the performance spectrum this week with two of our events: the Annual Student Art Competition and the opening weekend of Measure for Measure.
Don’t forget that Measure for Measure is a part of our collaborative Shakespeare festival with Bradley and Western Illinois Universities. Groundlings Passes are still available for admission into each of the three schools’ performances.
If you have any questions about these events, please contact the box office at 773.508.3847 or BoxOffice@LUC.edu.
As part of a 10 concert series, Luxembourg’s very own RDW Trio will be performing for the Sounds of Luxembourg II concert, Monday, March 12th.
Consisting of pianist Michel Reis, bassist Marc Demuth, and drummer Paul Wiltgen, the band formed in 1998 while the three were high school students. After a hiatus beginning in 2003 when each member pursued music study, the band is ready to perform for American audiences.
For more information, please contact Kevin Wester, LACS Executive Director, via email or by calling 262.355.5758.
