Art Guild At Neumann College

NEUMANN UNIVERSITY PRESENTATION

Othello
Sunday, March 30 • 7:00 p.m.

In this magnificently complex study of extremes, Shakespeare pairs his most loving and trusting leading man with his most conniving and ruthless villain in a dangerous dance of deceit and revenge. The radiant language of love transforms into delirious ravings as his characters descend into jealousy, fear, and rage. Both expansive and claustrophobic, Othello is Shakespeare at the height of his creative power—a ravishing and unforgettable classic.
ADMISSION: General $10; FREE for Neumann staff and students; Non-Neumann Students/Seniors/Children 12 and under $5.

Art Exhibits

Neumann’s Exhibit Program

If you are an artist or know someone who is looking for a “gallery” in which to display an art collection, Neumann University can help. We will serve as a host site for emerging artists from the surrounding area to exhibit a body of artwork. This is an excellent opportunity to share your artistic talent with the University and the greater community. Art exhibits will hang in the University Library and typically run for two months. All works displayed will be in congruence with the mission of Neumann University.

To obtain a schedule of upcoming art exhibits or for more information regarding exhibit proposals, please contact the Office of Cultural Programming via telephone at
610-558-5626, or via e-mail at dimarinn@neumann.edu.
