After having banned theater from much of Europe for centuries, the Christian church brought it back during the Middle Ages in the form of popular street entertainment. Actors, working with local trade guilds, produced bible stories on wagons and presented them to an audience desperate for a distraction from the various threats of living in a newly forming urban society. Some of the plays were funny, some frightening, but all were fully secular and very much a part of the human condition. Barry Cavin adapts and directs a contemporary retelling of three ancient cycle plays for our 2019/20 season in a production that promises to capture the spirit and fun of the original work while making the event relevant and interesting to today’s audiences.
* There will be a discussion with the cast and crew following this performance |

After having banned theater from much of Europe for centuries, the Christian church brought it back during the Middle Ages in the form of popular street entertainment. Actors, working with local trade guilds, produced bible stories on wagons and presented them to an audience desperate for a distraction from the various threats of living in a newly forming urban society. Some of the plays were funny, some frightening, but all were fully secular and very much a part of the human condition. Barry Cavin adapts and directs a contemporary retelling of three ancient cycle plays for our 2019/20 season in a production that promises to capture the spirit and fun of the original work while making the event relevant and interesting to today’s audiences.

Fjelstul Art Lecture with Dr. Alfred Acres ~ Making a Self: Jan van Eyck and the Origins of the Artist | /cas/bsma/images/alfredacres337x261.jpg | 7 | 11 | 2019 | 5:00 pm | 1 | 3 | U. Tobe Recital Hall, Music Building |
Lecture at 5:00pm in the U. Tobe Recital Hall with a light reception to follow in
the Arts Complex Lobby
Our sense of what makes artists special has Renaissance roots in the work of Jan van Eyck. Celebrated as a brilliant pioneer of realistic painting, he was equally innovative as a craftsman of his own reputation. Without the letters, printed publicity, and exhibitions that would fuel the fame of later artists, he argued for his unique mastery in paint alone—and only partly as a display of skill. More original and intriguing are his layers of subtle effort to absorb and challenge an observer.
Dr. Alfred Acres taught at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Oregon, and Princeton University before joining the faculty at Georgetown University. He is currently the Chair of the Department of Art and Art History and the Wright Family Term Associate Professor in Art History. His research is focused on northern European art of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, and his teaching also addresses the history of prints and conceptual topics ranging further afield in the western tradition since the Renaissance. Among his many publications he is the author of Renaissance Invention and the Haunted Infancy (2013) and a forthcoming book on Jan van Eyck.

Presence: Ran Adler Exhibition opening reception | /cas/bsma/images/ranadler335x200.jpg | 30 | 1 | 2020 | 5:00 pm | 1 | 3 | Wasmer Art Gallery, Arts Complex |
Opening Reception, Artist Talk and Performance by the Jazz Combo – Thursday, January 30, 5-7pm
Drawn to Nature’s roughness, randomness and disorder, Ran Adler takes a meditative approach to life and his art. His gathering of organic materials (while wandering such places as along the banks of the Mississippi River) is the inspirational first step. Ran’s rhythmic, repetitive process of sorting, cutting, weaving, threading, burning and inscribing induces a prayer-like state and clarifies his intention...to share the harmonious transformation of chaos into order. The exhibition will feature new large-scale installation pieces that encompass the viewer within these concepts.

The Children's Literature Association named this "the best American children's book of the past two hundred years," and Joseph Robinette, working with the advice of E.B.

Determined to save Wilbur the pig, Charlotte, his “true friend and a good writer,” begins her campaign with the "miracle" of her web in which she writes, "Some pig." It's the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte.

How can I purchase tickets? Tickets are available online through our ticketing website.
Will my tickets be mailed to me? No. While you will receive a confirmation email after your purchase, tickets will not be mailed, but will be held at the Box Office and will be available one hour prior to the performance.
Are there assigned seats? All of our performances are General Admission, so there are no assigned seats. If, however, you have specific seating needs, please contact Joanna Hoch, Events Coordinator, at jhoch@fgcu.edu at least 72 hours prior to the performance to work on accomodations.
Can I pick my tickets up in advance? Unfortunately, no. Feel free to print the confirmation email as proof of purchase, but your name will be on a Will Call list at the Box Office one hour prior to the performance.
How early should I arrive prior to the performance? If you have not purchased tickets in advance, it is recommended that you arrive approximately 1/2 hour prior to the performance to ensure enough time to purchase the tickets and find seats.
Are food and drinks allowed in TheatreLab? Yes, but please note that there are only vending machines in the Arts Complex, so coffee, tea, and other specific snacks would need to be purchased prior to arrival.
Is there late seating? Unfortunately not. Due to the intimate nature of TheatreLab, in conjunction with lighting limitations, we are unable to seat patrons who arrive after the doors have closed. Late arrivals are more than welcome to wait until intermission, if there is one, so they can see the second part of the performance.
