The Daily Bruin

Come hear a special speaker, Lutaaya Abdul, share about the work he is doing in Uganda through the African Hearts Orphanage. He will visit with us on Tuesday, Nov. 3, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in EHS 102.

Lataaya grew up in the slums of Kampala. He was introduced to Christ at a school that taught the gospel through music. Since then, he has started African Hearts Orphanage, an orphanage for vulnerable young people to improve their safety and physical, spiritual and emotional health and future well-being.

The organization’s target population is children who are living on the streets, many of whom have been orphaned by HIV or abandoned or victimized by family violence. The organization currently operates two homes housing former street children in Senge. Children living in these homes are taught the Bible and are provided with shelter, food, love and education. Lataaya’s visit is being sponsored by the Center for Study Abroad.

Come support our theatre students at this fall’s comedy presentation of Moliere’s Tartuffe, directed by Rhett Luedtke.

The final performances are in Wood-Mar Auditorium 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.
