The university’s performing arts department will present The Potting Shed by Graham Greene this fall in Wood-Mar Auditorium. Check out our show times:
Synopsis: When estranged son James returns for his father’s funeral, the Callifer family finds their staunch unbelief turned upside down as secrets from the past disrupt the present. Unearthing lost childhood, James is confronted by the best and worst of his family history, leading him inexorably toward the startling truth. What happened in the potting shed all those years ago? And why has it led the Callifers to reject their youngest son? Is there room for belief in a family of skeptics?
Legendary novelist Graham Greene addresses these questions and more in a taut, engrossing drama, described by the New York Daily News as “an intellectual detective story.”
Students and staff can claim their free ticket by visiting our website at georgefox.edu/box-office. Student tickets are free for Wednesday or Thursday nights; staff tickets are free for any night.

As you know, we live in a time where communities are often in tension with each other. This tension can manifest in a polarization of behaviors, attitudes, emotions, and beliefs that often leaves us in a place of despair.

All employees are invited to “Being the Bridge Between Despair and Hope: Navigating Polarizing Times” in Roberts 170 on Tuesday, Nov. 14, from 4 to 6 p.m.
The workshop will be presented by Executive Dean David Cimbora and Dr. Norlan Hernandez, who serves as Vanguard University’s director for the Jesse Miranda Center for Hispanic Leadership and as founder and president of Faithful Teachings, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to partnering with local faith-based communities on holistic initiatives for the transformation of society in Latin America.
