Carlos NúñezMcIntyre Hall PresentsFriday, October 26 7:30 PM

A virtuoso of the Gaita, a Galician bagpipe, this Spaniard brings us Celtic music. Carlos Núñez’s music has garnered multiple Latin GRAMMY nominations and has sold over 1 million records worldwide. Known for his eclectic collaborations, Núñez has worked with a diverse body of artists including Sinéad O’Connor, Jackson Browne, and Irish musician Dónal Lunny. He appeared as a featured member of the Chieftains on their GRAMMY-winning album Santiago (1997), which included collaborations with Los Lobos and Linda Ronstadt. The broad scope of this Spanish-born musician’s influences includes Celtic as well as strands of flamenco, North African, and Middle Eastern music.

“In Galicia we play Celtic music as the Irish, Scottish, and Bretons do, but we add Spanish passion and temperament, that’s our trademark.”—Núñez on the contemporary Galician musical renaissance.

Late Nite CatechismMcIntyre Hall PresentsFriday, February 22 7:30 PMSaturday, February 23 7:30PM

Late Nite Catechism is an uproariously funny play that takes the audience back to their youth. The irrepressible Sister teaches class to a roomful of “students.” Throughout the course of the class the benevolent instructor rewards the “students” for correct answers with glow-in-the-dark rosaries and other nifty prizes. Naughty students may well find themselves on stage sitting in a corner reflecting their actions. However, even the most reluctant “students” will be clamoring to get into this Sister’s class. The New York Times calls Late Nite Catechism “interactive theater at its best and full of laughs!” Tickets: $25
