The UA theater arts department delves into the complex world of intimate relationships with tonight's 7:30 Workshop Series Production of "Man, Woman, Dog" and "Marla's Devotion." Conflicts arising over the termination of long-term relationships appear in the former play, while spiritual enlightenment and professional development plague the performers in the latter piece. Both will be performed in Directing Studio 116 in the new Drama building at the southeast corner of campus. Tickets for the shows are free, however space is limited. For more information, call the Fine Arts box office at 621-1162.
The Center for Creative Photography made Lori Novak and her "Collected Visions" famous with the presentation of her printed work and multimedia exhibits. The center takes art one step further with today's "Collecting Days" between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. CCP staff members will help students and faculty scan treasured family photos onto the "Collected Visions" Web site for possible future use in her work. Novak defines family snapshots as including "all loved ones - friends as well as pets." For more information on this event, call Jeanne Courtemanche at 621-7968.
