Film : Bab' Aziz
Monday, October 6
7:30 p.m.
Ashley Square Cinemas, Downtown Greencastle
A visual poem of incomparable beauty, this masterpiece from director Nacer Khemir begins with the story of a blind dervish named Bab’Aziz and his spirited granddaughter, Ishtar. Together they wander the desert in search of a great reunion of dervishes that takes place just once every thirty years. Filled with breathtaking images and wonderful music, Khemir has created a fairytale-like story of longing and belonging, filmed in the sandscapes of Tunisia and Iran.

Einstein and the Roosevelts

Moore Theatre, Green Center for the Performing Arts
Written by the Broadway award-winning team and DePauw alumni Nancy Ford '57 and Gretchen Cryler '57, Einstein and the Roosevelts is the premiere of an inventive musical presenting some lesser-known history of one of America's most influential couples. The story takes place at an after-life birthday party thrown for Eleanor in the cosmos to which Albert Einstein has been invited because he has developed a musical method for summoning up moments from the past. The production's imaginative revelations of buried secrets and passions promises to both entertain and educate by combining history and whimsy to illuminate the characters' past choices surrounding love, marriage and politics during wartime.

Lynne Thompson, poet
Tuesday, October 14
7:30 p.m.
Peeler Auditorium, Richard E. Peeler Art Center
Lynne Thompson is the 2008 winner of the Great Lakes Colleges Association New Writers Award in poetry for Beg No Pardon. One judge of the 39-year-old competition notes of Thompson's 2007 collection, "...she moves into the present tense of sex, and jazz, and blackness, claiming a delicious word-palette. The poems here seduce and confront and refuse to be anonymous." Born to parents from the West Indies and raised in Los Angeles, Thompson received a J.D. degree from Southwestern University School of Law and is currently director of employee and labor relations at UCLA.
