The presentation will discuss how American evangelicals have made an enormous influence in the nature and direction of modernization in Africa, yet how this rarely leads to sustainable improvements for the poor.

Come support our theatre students at this fall’s comedy presentation of Moliere’s Tartuffe, directed by Rhett Luedtke.
Performances are in Wood-Mar Auditorium on Oct. 22-24 and Oct. 29 through Nov. 1. All performances begin at 7:30 p.m. with the exception of the Sunday, Nov. 1 show, scheduled as a 2 p.m. matinee.
Synopsis: Tartuffe was originally banned from the theatre when it was first performed in 1664 and has been delighting audiences ever since. Tartuffe, a slick, religious charlatan, dupes Orgon, a rich family man, into believing that Tartuffe is deeply concerned for Orgon’s eternal salvation. Orgon’s family members see through the charade and do all they can to open Orgon’s eyes, but to no avail.
When Orgon promises Tartuffe his daughter’s hand in marriage, and the keys to his house, Elmire (Orgon’s wife) concocts a daring plan to open Orgon’s eyes once and for all. One of Moliere’s most celebrated comedies, Tartuffe has historically been loathed by religious hypocrites, but celebrated by the wise.
Tickets are $6 for students, or free for students on Oct. 22 and 29. Employees are entitled to one complimentary ticket. Please bring your student or employee ID to the door when you attend the show. Additional tickets are $12 for adults, $8 for seniors 65 or older, and $6 for children under 12.
Tickets may be purchased at the Bruin Store or one hour prior to each show in Wood-Mar Auditorium. They are also available online at theatre.georgefox.edu. Any questions? See Kathy Harris in Minthorn 205 or email her at kharris@georgefox.edu.
