Blue Thursday: Poetry Reading ::
This is also late notice...but worth the trip!!
On Thursday, November 13 from 7-9:30 p.m. Zeta Phi Beta Sorority will hold “Blue Thursday,” a spoken word poetry reading at the Omaha Healing Arts Center, 1216 Howard Street, Omaha. The event will feature an open microphone from 7-8 p.m. and a number of area spoken word poets will focus on the impact of domestic violence in our community beginning at 8 p.m. The cost is a $5 donation at the door. A portion of the proceeds will go to YWCA Omaha, an agency that serves victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
“The first step in eliminating domestic violence in our society is to acknowledge that it exists,” said Karen Brown, President of the Omaha Graduate Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. “Blue Thursday was created to do just that; call to the forefront the fact that domestic violence is prevalent in our community and we are here to do something about it.”
For more information contact Kristin at kristinw@ywcaomaha.org or call 402.345.6555.
The Blue Room Adapted by David Hare (screenwriter of "The Hours"), the second show of Theatrix (the student run theatre organization of UNL) is directed by Jason Slaughter. The show is about the relationships of five men and five women at their most intimate moments shown in ten different scenes. This is not your traditional piece of theatre, it is for mature audiences. The cast and production team is made up of all undergraduate students in the department of theatre. The tickets are a mere $5 at the door. The show runs November 12, 13 and 14th with a 7:30p.m. start time; also at 10:30p.m. for the November 14th show.

Stuart Little ::
Welcome to the world of Stuart Little, the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Little, a normal boy in every way, except for one thing -- he's a mouse!
This delightful musical version of Stuart's adventures around New York City further enhances the charming story of a determined underdog trying to survive in a real people's world. From melodic ballads to exciting chorus numbers, the score by England's Ronna Frank features such delightful songs as "Paddle Your Own Canoe," "Feed Him Up," "Size," "Stuart Little," "I'm Headed in the Right Direction" and "Nighttime in New York" (sung by a quartet of cats!).
Don't miss the opening production of our 2003-2004 Family Series, to be presented in the Oliver T. Joy Mainstage Theatre. Non-subscriber ticket prices: $10, all seats, all ages.

A
Midsummer Night's Dream
One of Shakespeare's most beloved and imaginative comedies! When mismatched
lovers escape into the woods to sort things out, they don't count on interference
from a band of mischievous fairies! Throw an amateur theatrical company into
the mix and you'll enjoy an evening of laughs resulting from mistaken identities,
unpredictable romance and magic! Appropriate for all audiences.

The
Donkey Show: A Midsummer Night's Disco
The Donkey Show tells the story of A Midsummer Night's Dream
through all the 70s disco hits you know by heart. The enchanted forest of Shakespeare's
comedy clasic becomes the glittered world of retro disco. Nightclub impresario
Oberon and his sidekick Dr. Wheelgood cook up an evening of funky love as they
spoon a passion portion to a quartet of clubgoers, two guys named Vinnie and
the diva goddss of the moon, Titania. It's a fabulous magic fantasia of mirror
balls, glitter and feathers where the unexpected can happen. Appropriate
for teenagers & adults.

Special Yoga
Class with Steve Pizzanello from Chicago
This Sunday, Nov. 16, 11:30AM -1:30PM
$18 (Bring your mat, blanket & props. some available)
Private
consultations available 847.602.9642
Whether you are new to yoga or have been studying for years, Steve’s experience and abilities will guide you safely within for a full work-out of body, mind and breath.
Steve teaches a holistic Yoga deeply rooted in his Iyengar experience of alignment, yet alive through focus on breath, intention and attitude. Using single posture instruction as well as asana flow, students are guided to find the balance between the muscular and organic energies within their own bodies. The result is a strengthening and opening of the body, an ever-deepening focus of the mind, and the awakening and unfolding of the heart.
Steve Pizzanello has studied exclusively with John Friend for the past five years accumulating over 250 hours of Anusara training. Previously, Steve has studied with many of the strongest teachers in today’s yoga community resulting in an extensive understanding of various Yoga systems on which to base his teachings. Being an athlete has been a way of life for Steve. He developed determination and a focused mind through excelling in both team and individual sports. Steve turned to body building in his twenties, achieving definition and size through relentless self-discipline and effort. Injuries began a period of questioning for Steve, which eventually led to the physical and then spiritual study of yoga. The results have been a deep inner strength and grounding that is useful not only “on the mat”, but off the mat as well!
