through the arts!

The Pick 5 Deal is the best way to save

HERE’S HOW IT WORkS: Purchase 5 tickets—1 ticket to 5 shows, 5 tickets to 1 show or any combination of tickets that adds up to a multiple of 5—and get $5 off each Adult ticket, $4 off each Senior Citizen ticket and $3 off each Student/Youth ticket. It’s that easy. Just visit the Miami University Box Office in Shriver Center or call 513-529-3200.

N*W*C: The Race ShowSpeak Theater Arts7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 6Hall Auditorium $8 Students/Youth, $15 Seniors, $16 Adults

$5 Students/Youth, $11 Seniors, $11 Adults

Sponsored by the Center for American and World Cultures, Global Fusion and the Talawanda-Miami Partnership.

Three young actors, of different ethnicities, have created a hilarious hip-hop send-up of their personal struggle to craft an assured personal identity while living in America’s middle class culture. N*gger Wetb*ck Ch*nk is a theatre piece rich in irony and humor. For some, the title is challenging, but in the end, the racial epithet is revealed for what it is, a distraction that keeps us from understanding and appreciating the beauty of our diversity and the integrity of our individuality.

“ N*W*C skewers race with wicked humor.” — LA Times

“ Smart, sophisticated, downright hilarious.” —TimeOut New York

Nothing is planned, rehearsed, or written. But each of the actors has brushed up on his “thee’s” and “thou’s” to bring you an evening of off-the-cuff comedy using the language and themes of William Shakespeare. The performance is completely improvised, but the entertainment is guaranteed!

“ One of the most powerful plays about sports in the last decade” —The New York Times

A funny and poignant family drama, former NFL safety Bo Eason stars in his semi-autobiographical play about modern gladiators, obsession, testosterone, and revenge. Always considered too small to play football, Eason developed a 20-year-plan to go pro. His determination and killer instincts on the field remain the stuff of legend; his unforgettable story is living proof that with enough determination, nothing can prevail over the human spirit.
