9 to 5: The Musical is about "Friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era"

The Freed Center for the Performing Arts spring season continues with 9 to 5, a comic musical with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and based on the 1980 film by 20th Century Fox.

Productions are April 20, 26, 27 at 7:30 p.m. and April 21, 27 at 2 p.m.

The musical is described as "the hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era. Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down."

After the Sunday matinee, there will be a conversation with each show’s creative team and performers.

ONU course studies the history and influence of banned books

Classic, contested books such as Lady Chatterley’s Lover and Fahrenheit 451 are being analyzed this semester by Ohio Northern University honors students. The course is focusing on how and why such works have been challenged or banned in the U.S. and England, their literary value, and how they reflect and influence civics and politics.

“We will quickly discover that virtually every book that is considered a classic now was once (or still is) banned. (This is a paradox that we will have to negotiate together),” explains Douglas Dowland, Ph.D., associate professor of English, in the course syllabus. “We will also discover that books which address contemporary issues are as frequently challenged as classic texts, which will lead us to consider how literature continues to be a source of personal discovery with political ramifications.”

February 9 Star Party: "The Winter Milky Way"

ONU and surrounding communities are invited to the ONU Observatory
this on Friday, February 9 for a stargazing event called "The Winter Milky Way."

Organizers note, "The Milky Way is our home Galaxy. It appears as a swath of light that wraps around the sky.  In the summer, the Milky Way runs through constellations like Cygnus (the Swan), while in the winter, it runs through Gemini and Canis Major (the great dog) next to Orion. In February, this "Winter Milky Way" is crossing the meridian around 9:30 pm, making it a good time to explore its treasures with a telescope.  

"These include Hubble's Variable Nebula, the Seagull Nebula, and several star clusters.
