Presented by Weber State University's English Department

When: Mar. 28 to 30 | Multiple Times

Irish-born international bestseller Colum McCann is among the world’s foremost storytellers, moving seamlessly from the Troubles in Ireland to the Romani camps of Eastern Europe to the dizzying heights of the World Trade Center. Known as a writer of style and substance, hailed by critics and readers alike, he is known as a poetic realist and a literary risk-taker, a writer who is known to tackle the dark in order to get through to the light—any sort of light, however compromised—on the far side.

The town's parents want to keep the high school dance on the straight and narrow but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. Now, Broadway's brassiest are joining the fight and they're ready to kick-ball-change the world.


Performance Premiere: This was water

Presented by Weber State University Music Professor and Lindquist Creative Fellowship Recipient, Carey Campbell

When: Apr. 5 | 7:30 PM
Location: Weber State University Val A. Browning Center | Eccles Theater

This was water is a new musical work by Carey Campbell, WSU professor and Lindquist Creative Fellowship recipient. The piece is intended to bring awareness to the drying of the Great Salt Lake and inspire action to avert this ecological crisis. The instruments used in the piece are flute, clarinet, violin, and cello, which are all at times treated with electronic processing to de-familiarize their sounds. In addition, several movements of the piece are for fixed-media electronics, performed on a laptop and assembled from the soundscape of the Great Salt Lake. Video art will be presented along with the performance, making this an immersive multimedia event.
