  TODAYS GAY & LESBIAN EVENTS

Friday February 9th

White
6:00pm

2018 MFA Lab theater tackles race, culture, sexuality. Series includes a racially charged dark comedy, an award-winning play about an unlikely romance during the Iranian Revolution and a new adaptation of "Spring Awakening." Feb. 9 through May 27.

The 2018 MFA Lab series schedule is as follows:

White

By James Ijames

Directed by Tasia A. Jones

Feb. 9 to 11

A young white artist expects to get his big break in a contemporary art museum as part of a major exhibition. When he's told by the museum's new curator that no "white dudes" will be considered, he hires a black actress to represent his work. It doesn't take long for the situation to spin out of control as the scheme nosedives into deeper issues of race, gender, sexuality and art.

The Orange Garden

By Joanna Garner

Directed by Hassan Al Rawas

May 4 to 6

A young Peace Corps volunteer lands in Iran in 1972 and is quickly swept up into a dangerous romance and the growing fire of revolution. This remarkable new play won the 2016 Keene Prize for Literature and illuminates the complications of falling in love with people and places by weaving together Rumi's poetry, 1960s rock music and the lyricism of the Persian language.

Spring Awakening

Adapted and Directed by Alex Mallory

from "Fruhlings Erwachen" by Frank Wedekind

May 25 to 27

Betrayed by their well-intentioned parents, six teenagers struggle with sexual and moral awakening in a culture of ignorance and repression. Wedekind's 1891 classic German tragedy addresses the plight of coming of age with acute directness, and this original adaptation by MFA director Alex Mallory highlights its urgent and revolutionary exploration of adolescence, education and generational conflict.

Performances for each production are Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 2 and 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 general admission and $6 in advance or $10 at the door for Northwestern students.

Box office hours are Tuesdays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m. The box office is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

The Wirtz Center is a member of the Northwestern Arts Circle, which brings together film, humanities, literary arts, music, theater, dance and visual arts.
