A Case for the Existence of God
by Samuel D. Hunter
A profound new work from the playwright behind the Oscar-winning film, The Whale

Through a blend of humor, empathy, and raw honesty, Hunter skillfully intertwines Keith and Ryan’s stories, bridging the gap between their individual life experiences and shedding light on the complexities of human existence.

Art Conservation Talk: Ann Shaftel
"Thangkas in Museums, Private Collections, Monasteries, and their Communities"
Wednesday, April 2, 2025 | 6 pm | Free
in the Dumke Auditorium at the UMFA
Thangkas lead different lives depending on where they live.
Museums can offer non-traditional aesthetics and presentation, combined with the benefits of a technical approach to preservation. Is a thangka still sacred if it is out of the original context?
While thangkas in private homes and collections depend on the choices made by the owners in monasteries and their communities, thangkas are sacred art, with respectful, traditional usage, and centuries-old traditions.
This richly illustrated talk shares exquisite and powerful thangkas in traditional and nontraditional locations, and provokes questions about technical preservation and traditional respect for thangkas worldwide.

A Case for the Existence of God
by Samuel D. Hunter
A profound new work from the playwright behind the Oscar-winning film, The Whale
In the confined space of an office cubicle, Keith, a mortgage broker, and Ryan, a yogurt plant worker with aspirations tied to ancestral land, discover an unexpected shared thread weaving through their lives. Amidst discussions of loans and financial uncertainties, their conversation delves deeper, touching upon the challenges of parenthood and the angst of insecurity. Through a blend of humor, empathy, and raw honesty, Hunter skillfully intertwines Keith and Ryan’s stories, bridging the gap between their individual life experiences and shedding light on the complexities of human existence.

Four literary heroines of the nineteenth century set conventionalism ablaze when they turn down marriage proposals from their equally famous gentlemen callers. What results is a confluence of love, anger, grief, and bloodshed, as the ensemble struggles to reconcile romantic ideologies of the past with their modern ideas of courtship. Everything you’ve learned about love from the pages of Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and Little Women is turned upside down in this grand theatrical battle royale.

Pioneer Theatre Company
A Case for the Existence of God
by Samuel D. Hunter
A profound new work from the playwright behind the Oscar-winning film, The Whale
In the confined space of an office cubicle, Keith, a mortgage broker, and Ryan, a yogurt plant worker with aspirations tied to ancestral land, discover an unexpected shared thread weaving through their lives. Amidst discussions of loans and financial uncertainties, their conversation delves deeper, touching upon the challenges of parenthood and the angst of insecurity. Through a blend of humor, empathy, and raw honesty, Hunter skillfully intertwines Keith and Ryan’s stories, bridging the gap between their individual life experiences and shedding light on the complexities of human existence.
“the purest example yet of Hunter’s approach to playwriting as an experiment in empathy.” — The New York Times

Waitress
Book by Jessie Nelson
Music & Lyrics by Sara Bareilles
Based upon the motion picture written by Adrienne Shelly
Enjoy what’s inside this delectable Broadway hit!
Based on the 2007 Sundance film, Waitress is the story of Jenna, a pie chef and waitress at a small-town Southern diner who’s stuck in a loveless marriage. When Jenna discovers she is pregnant, a local pie-baking contest with a cash prize becomes Jenna and her baby’s chance for a better life. But, as is often the case, fate has a few extra ingredients that complicate Jenna’s recipe for a new life. Nominated for four Tony Awards, Waitress is a theatrical treat with delicious songs by multiple Grammy Award-winner Sara Bareilles.
“…rises to transporting heights, and sweeps up your heart along with it.” — The New York Times.
