The Daily Bruin

All are welcome to a Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture this Monday, March 14, when Abigail Favale, an assistant professor of English and a faculty fellow in the William Penn Honors Program, speaks on the topic “What is Sex For?” in Hoover 105. The same presentation will be made from 5 to 6 p.m. and from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m.

If sex is the god of popular culture, what is this god like? In this lecture, Favale will raise philosophical and theological questions about the meaning of sex and its depiction in contemporary American culture.

Do you have a heart for ministry? Are you interested in exploring storytelling as a form of worship?

If so, you may be interested in auditioning for the University Players, a touring theatre ensemble that travels to churches, schools, prisons and other gatherings.

Auditions will be held in the Bauman Greenroom tomorrow (Friday), between 10 and 11:50 a.m., in 50-minute blocks, with each block consisting of the following:

• A group warm-up and improv. Please come in comfortable clothing, prepared to move freely.
• Individual-prepared monologues. Bring a two- to three-minute story of a significant event in your own life, told in the first person. This does not need to be memorized, but must be well rehearsed, and must be no longer than three minutes.
• Individual musical offerings. Prepare a short musical moment, 10 to 30 seconds long, using any instrument you choose. A piano will be available. Even if you don’t consider yourself a “musician,” this can be a simple lyric on a penny whistle or a rhythm on a creative music-making object like a rubber band, a cardboard box, or a cookie sheet with gravel.
• Optional: Other unique skills are also welcome! You are invited to come prepared to delight us with a handstand or juggling or … you name it. Show us something interesting.

If you have any more questions about The University Players, auditions, or the group’s scheduling requirements for next year, please email JeanneAnn Faris at jfaris15@georgefox.edu.
