The Arsonists
Written by Swiss playwright Max Frisch in 1953, The Arsonists is “partly a domestic farce, partly a Brechtian Lehrstück, partly an absurd comedy, and partly a Greek tragedy,” says Professor of Theatre Štěpán Šimek. Subtitled as a “morality play without a moral,” the play asks a series of questions about the nature of evil. Šimek directed the fall main stage play, which included a 12-member cast and more than 30 students in production support roles. (Owen Carey)
Celebrating Pioneer Spirit
More than 1,100 people traveled from near and far to attend Lewis & Clark’s Homecoming and Family Weekend in October. We cheered on Pioneer football and soccer; drank alumni-brewed beers at the tailgate; honored L&C’s past at the 150th Anniversary Welcome Reception and Willamette River Cruise; enjoyed student and alumni musical performances; and connected with students over brunch. In addition, current faculty spoke at Pioneer College sessions; environmental studies students and alumni gathered to kick off the Environmental Affairs Symposium; we celebrated the new Athletics Hall of Fame inductees; and we welcomed two new members to the Board of Alumni.
Save the date for this fall’s Homecoming and Family Weekend, October 5–7, 2018.
