Eurydice, May 24, 25, 30, 31, June 1, 8 p.m. (matinee June 1, 2 p.m.), Hatlen Theater The Department of Theater & Dance presents Eurydice, penned by Tony Award nominee and two-time Pulitzer finalist Sarah Ruhl, and directed by faculty member Jeff Mills. Described as a “highly theatrical, often comedic, and deeply poetic,” Ruhl’s piece sees articulate heroine Eurydice explore the damaging arbitrariness of social convention, the pain of grieving, and the struggle for selfhood. She must ultimately decide between the world of the living and the dead, between playing the muse in someone else’s story or the heroine in her own. MORE INFO

| From 1946 to 1973, Whitney Smith and his partner, Wayne Williams, designed more than 800 projects, including residential, commercial, and public buildings, as well as housing tracts, multiuse complexes, parks and master plans for cities. Widely published in the popular and architectural press from the 1940’s through the 1960’s, their work received more than 40 awards. This exhibition examines Smith and Williams’s designs as a quintessential expression of postwar California ideas about the relationship of architecture to environment, of building to site, of inside to outside. Part of Pacific Standard Time Presents: Modern Architecture in L.A, a Getty-initiated collaboration. MORE INFO |
