• Thursday-Saturday, March 7-9 & March 14-16, at 7:30 p.m.
• Sunday, March 10 and March 17, at 2 p.m.

Synopsis: Inspired by a true story and featuring the Tony-nominated score by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Broadway’s Bright Star tells a sweeping tale of love and redemption set against the rich backdrop of the American South in the 1920s and ’40s.

When literary editor Alice Murphy meets a young soldier just home from World War II, he awakens her longing for the child she once lost. Haunted by their unique connection, Alice sets out on a journey to understand her past – and what she finds has the power to transform both of their lives.

With beautiful melodies and powerfully moving characters, the story unfolds as a rich tapestry of deep emotion. An uplifting theatrical journey that holds you tightly in its grasp, Bright Star is as refreshingly genuine as it is daringly hopeful.

In his lecture, Dr. Kirkpatrick will be asking why Bacchus (the god of wine) appears in Prince Caspian, and why he was such a significant deity to Lewis.

Through this, he’ll look at how Lewis’s love of literature and mythology played an important and surprising role in his religious conversion as well as his books. Dr. Kirkpatrick has lived in Oxford for many years, where he works as principal lecturer for SCIO (Scholarship and Christianity in Oxford), hosting numerous American students studying abroad in the city.

Dr. Kirkpatrick is a classicist, with a particular interest in the religious landscape of Roman Palestine and the classical background of C.S. Lewis’s life and writings. He has spent two seasons of his life living in Lewis’s former home, The Kilns, first as a scholar in residence and later as the warden.

Dinner and refreshments will be provided. We look forward to learning with you!

We are so thrilled to host the Guerras at our event, and we hope you can make it. Save your spot here!

With your support, we will be able to not only serve the people in the rural areas of Uganda, but also utilize the physical therapy and differential diagnosis skills we have learned in the program. Would you prayerfully consider supporting us with a gift today?

From all of Cohort 11, thank you for partnering with us!

William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, commonly known as W.E.B.

Dr. Johnson has received a number of fellowships, including a 2004-2005 non-resident fellowship within the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Studies at Harvard University. That led him to author the biography, W.E.B. Du Bois: Toward Agnosticism, 1868-1934.
