No More Sex
Okay,maybe some, but we won't be obsessing like a teenage boy caressing the pages of a Sears catalog. This year we're getting edgy, we're getting creative, we're getting dramatic...
We're getting pretentious!!!
Well, hopefully not too much, but anytime someone starts talking about their art, you've got to expect a bit of self-congratulatory glad handing. That's what happens when geeks find an outlet, but they can't let anyone know that they are still just geeks with inferiority complexes.
Speaking of geeks, this whole season is dedicated to them.
Okay, well, maybe not, but we do have a season filled with computers, multi-media and dirty internet sites. So, it looks like the web search history of every non-Communications major at MSU. Maybe not the the CJ majors either, they tend to do pretty well with the ladies too.
In any case, enough rambling (for now)...
Drum roll please.....
Announcing...

This marks the return of a play originally commissionedby the Wharton Center. This is the story of the dot com boom and bust.The play takes place in the world of high finance between 1998 and 2000,and involves "The Gizmo." The Gizmo is the invention of a youngentrepreneur who has dreams of his piece of technology becomingsomething no one can live without. A venture capitalist gets wind of TheGizmo and has a plan that could add up to millions for him and the youngentrepreneur. In reality, what the twosome has created really is more ofa dream than anything else … a dream that comes crashing down, andtaking a multitude of investors down with them, like many dot-coms didduring that time.

This is the North American premiere of a taut,psychological exploration of our secrets and the equally secret lives welead online. The cyberdemon Artaud watches as we stealthily travel theshrouded roads and paths that no one knows we wander. What is personal?What is private? Where is the humanity?

This is a World Premiere. What does the way wecommunicate say about us? Whether its Sanskrit or sign language, love,anger and passion pour out. When a woman falls in love with an entirelydifferent kind of guy, she seeks the help of her sister's partner towrite email love letters. The sister grows angry at what she sees asdeception, but also becomes fascinated with the Sanskrit scholar. Thismultimedia experience explores Sanskrit, sign language andecommunication as it seeks truth and love.
