Theatre: "American Buffalo"
2022-03-24 20:00 - 21:00
Theatre at Bridgewater College Presents: American BuffaloWhen: March 24 and 25, 8 p.m.Where: Black Box Theatre, Cole Hall. Seating is first-come, first-served

Theatre at Bridgewater College presents “American Buffalo” by David Mamet on Thursday, March 24, and Friday, March 25, in the Black Box Theatre of Cole Hall. The show will begin at 8 p.m. each night.

In a Chicago junk shop, three small-time crooks plot to rob a man of his coin collection, the showpiece of which is a valuable “Buffalo nickel.” These high-minded grifters fancy themselves businessmen pursuing legitimate free enterprise. But the reality of the three – Donny, the oafish junk shop owner; Bobby, a young junkie Donny has taken under his wing; and “Teach,” a violently paranoid braggart – is that they are merely pawns caught up in their own game of last-chance, dead-end, empty pipe dreams.

“American Buffalo” is recommended for mature audiences. The show is a theatre capstone production, and presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.

Lyceum Concert: New Orchestra of Washington

AT A GLANCELyceum Concert: New Orchestra of WashingtonWhen: 7 p.m., Friday, March 18Where: Concert Hall, Carter Center for Worship and Music, Bridgewater College’s campusNote: Attendees may arrive early for a panel discussion at 6 p.m.

The New Orchestra of Washington (NOW) will present a lyceum concert at Bridgewater College on Friday, March 18, at 7 p.m. in the Concert Hall of the Carter Center for Worship and Music.

The program, “MADIBA: WATCHING THE SUNSET,” will honor the legacy of South African anti-apartheid leader and activist Nelson Mandela. Mandela was known as Madiba, a term of respect and affection. Mandela himself described his relationship with music as a key source of strength throughout his decades-long imprisonments during South Africa’s struggle to end apartheid and transition to a multicultural democracy. Inspired by this, the program includes work by Handel and Tchaikovsky, Mandela’s two favorite composers, whose music sustained him during the most difficult part of his life. South African countertenor Roger O. Isaacs will perform the Handel arias.

A special feature of the concert will be a world premiere by South African composer Mokale Koapeng. NOW also will present a premiere of Koapeng’s “Yixesha! Ke Nako (The Time is Now!)” commissioned by Classical Movements for New Orchestra of Washington. This performance is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.

An hour before the concert, at 6 p.m., attendees are invited to a panel discussion featuring Koapeng and conductor Alejandro Hernandez-Valdez about the inspiration behind Koapeng’s piece, the interaction between music and community, and how this all connects to Nelson Mandela’s legacy.

Both the performance and panel discussion are free and open to the public.

Theatre at Bridgewater College Presents: Blue Heart by Caryl Churchill

Theatre at Bridgewater College Presents: Blue Heart by Caryl ChurchillWhen: Feb. 16-19, 8 p.m.Where: Cole Hall

Theatre at Bridgewater College presents “Blue Heart” from Feb. 16 through Feb. 19 in Cole Hall on the College’s campus. The show will begin at 8 p.m. each night.

Caryl Churchill’s “Blue Heart” consists of two related short plays, “Heart’s Desire” and “Blue Kettle”, both examining strained family – and especially filial – relationships.

In “Heart’s Desire”, Brian and his wife Alice, together with Brian’s sister Maisie, are waiting for the arrival of their daughter Susy, who is returning home after some years spent in Australia. A simple domestic scenario is replayed over and over with widely differing developments – some heartbreaking, some wildly comical or surreal.

In “Blue Kettle”, a middle-aged man, Derek, and his girlfriend, Enid, are involved in a con trick, making a series of elderly women believe that Derek is the son they once gave up for adoption. But as the situation develops, the play’s dialogue undergoes a radical distortion.

Tickets for the production are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors (65 and older) and non-BC students, and free for BC students, faculty and staff.

In keeping with guidance from the CDC, Bridgewater College requires that all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, properly wear face masks when indoors in public areas of campus.

Opening reception takes place 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 14, with an artist’s talk at 5:30 p.m.Where: Beverly Perdue Art Gallery on the main floor of the John Kenny Forrer Learning CommonsHours: The gallery is open from 7:30 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday; 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday; 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday; and noon to midnight on Sunday

Fredericksburg-based sculptor Sarah Spencer White will exhibit a collection of paintings and drawings from Monday, Feb. 7 through Wednesday, March 16, in the Beverly Perdue Art Gallery on the main floor of the John Kenny Forrer Learning Commons on the College’s campus.

White was born and raised in Greensboro, N.C. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. White has been a working, exhibiting sculptor since receiving her MFA in 1997 from the University of Colorado at Boulder where she studied with Scott Chamberlin, Betty Woodman and Antonette Rosato. She has worked and lived in Fredericksburg, Va., with her husband and three children since 2015.

“My working process stems from a curiosity about the strangeness of everyday. It is this search for an unfamiliar view of the familiar that led me to abstraction and distortion,” White’s artist statement reads. “An abstract form traps the viewer in the liminal state between knowing and not knowing. Because the object cannot be named or defined in a traditional sense, the viewer must continually look back to the object for clues of its intended function and meaning.”

The gallery is open from 7:30 a.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday; 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday; 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday; and noon to midnight on Sunday. In case of inclement weather closings, check bridgewater.edu. An opening reception will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 14, at the gallery and White will give an artist’s talk that night at 5:30 p.m.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration
2022-01-17 11:00 - 15:30
Update: The College’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day march is cancelled, and the virtual teach-ins are postponed.

Bridgewater College has annually hosted the Martin Luther King Jr. community march in collaboration with the Town of Bridgewater. While this year, due to weather, our annual march is cancelled and the virtual teach-ins have been postponed, we still honor Dr. King with an exhibit in the KCC Lobby. We encourage community members to visit the KCC Lobby, as this exhibit will be on display until Friday, Jan. 21.

Our student speaker for this year’s MLK Day assembly is Jalissa White-Jones ’22. Please watch this video to hear what Dr. King means to her.

Members of the community are invited to celebrate the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. with Bridgewater College during its annual Martin Luther King Day celebration, “Celebrating the Dream, Continuing the Journey.”

The celebration will begin at 11 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 17, at Oakdale Park in Bridgewater. The event kicks off with guest speakers giving remarks at Oakdale followed by a march of event attendees from Oakdale Park to Bridgewater College’s campus. A shuttle will be available for those who would like to participate in the march but are unable to walk the entire route because of limited mobility.

At the conclusion of the march, guests are invited to enjoy a reception in the Kline Campus Center lobby. After the reception, Bridgewater College faculty will lead three teach-ins on Zoom.

The teach-in sessions are as follows:

“From Civil Rights to Afrofuturism: Dr. King’s Influence on Science Fiction Media” with Dr. Grace Martin, 12:30 p.m. This teach-in session will examine the connections between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s work for Civil Rights and its legacy in Afrofuturist media. (livestream on Zoom)

“All Labor Has Dignity” with Dr. Sam Hamilton, 1:30 p.m. In addition to his commitment to ending racial segregation, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was similarly committed to the cause of economic justice. Just as the moral lessons from his Civil Rights advocacy can and should inform our present-day struggles with racial justice, so too should King’s lifelong support for workers’ rights inform our present-day struggles with economic justice. (livestream on Zoom)

“Martin Luther King Jr. And Nelson Mandela: Leaders for Non-Racial Democracy” with Dr. Jamie Frueh, 2:30 p.m. Frueh will lead a discussion comparing two of the most respected leaders of the 20th century. (livestream on Zoom)

Skees, who lives and makes art in Williamsburg, Va., road trips through the United States creating surreal digital landscapes of a society entrenched in a “nostalgia or future” argument with itself. Armed with cellphones, GPS and hacked apps, he scans the land and finds everywhere the fingerprints of humanity: technology, corporations, industrialization and sprawling urbanization—and he embraces it.
Both the exhibit and opening reception/artist’s talk are free and open to the public. In keeping with guidance from the CDC, Bridgewater College requires that all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, properly wear face masks when indoors in public areas of campus.
