Theatre: “Anton in Show Business” by Jane Martin

15 Nov 2009 22:00:00 GMT

Southern Oregon University Theatre Arts Building
Sunday, November 15, 2009, 2 – 4:30pm

“Anton in Show Business” by Jane Martin runs from November 5-15 in the Center Square Theatre at Southern Oregon University. In this backstage theatrical circus, Martin skewers the archetypes of players in the American theatre while affirming theatre is indelible. “The star has no scruples, the artistic director has no sense, the corporate funder has no clue, and this appears to be the status quo!” writes Robert Faires in The Austin Chronicle. “With all this ego, greed, lust, insecurity, and ineptitude, the American theatre is making Hollywood look like a Benedictine monastery.” The play received the American Theatre Critics/Steinberg New Play Award in 2001.

Performances are at 8 p.m. on Thursday-Saturday, November 5-7 and Thursday-Sunday, November 12-15, with 2 p.m. matinees on Saturday and Sunday, November 14-15. Tickets are $20 regular, $17 senior, $5 students. Subscribers to three or more plays receive a discounted rate of $16 regular and $14 senior.

Klamath Bird Observatory Hawk Lecture and Field Trip

We will meet at Shop 'n Kart in Ashland to arrange carpools. Field trip will take place at Lower Klamath Lake and Butte Valley, CA.
Thursday, November 19, 2009

Join local hawk expert Dick Ashford for an informative Thursday evening class followed by a Saturday guided outing to Butte Valley (near Dorris, CA) to search for these majestic raptors.

In late November, Butte Valley usually has better raptor viewing than its more famous neighbor to the north, the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge. Past KBO hawk trips have seen Red-tailed Hawks in a variety of color morphs, Rough-legged Hawks, Ferruginous Hawks, Golden Eagle, Northern Harriers and Merlin. Throughout the day, we’ll explore the natural history of hawks and their allies, including behavior, habitat and adaptations for survival. At the end of the outing, we’ll be certified raptor enthusiasts!

Directions: Meet at Shop 'n Kart in Ashland (2268 Ashland St). Field trip will take place at Lower Klamath Lake and Butte Valley, CA.
