Ohio Northern University presents “PostSecret Live,” an interactive multimedia event hosted by Frank Warren, at the Freed Center for the Performing Arts on Wednesday, March 30, at 7:30 p.m.
In 2004, PostSecret creator Warren introduced the world to a collection of highly personal and artfully decorated postcards mailed anonymously from around the world, exposing the soulful secrets we never voice. What started as a community mail art project quickly exploded in popularity; since PostSecret’s inception, Warren has received more than 1 million anonymous secrets on homemade postcards.
Ohio Northern University’s Freed Center for the Performing Arts will present “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” from April 7-10 at 7:30 p.m. Two matinee performances have been scheduled for April 9 and 10 at 2 p.m.
The Ohio Northern University Gospel Ensemble, with special guests the Philippian Missionary Baptist Church Choir of Lima and the Toledo Youth Choir, will perform its annual spring concert in the McIntosh Center Ballroom on Sunday, April 3, at 4 p.m.
The concert is free and open to the public.
The primary purpose of the ONU Gospel Ensemble is to spread the word of God through song, and its mission is “Winning souls to Christ with a melody.” The Ensemble was formed in 1987 by a group of African-American students who wanted to share their heritage through gospel music.
The Ohio Northern University Department of English will present its 2016 Spring Reading Series with fiction writer Pj Carlisle in the Elzay Gallery of Art on Tuesday, March 22, at 7 p.m. A reception will precede the event at 6:30 p.m., and a brief question-and-answer session will follow the readings.
This event also will feature Erika Mortimer, a junior language arts education major from Lima, Ohio, who will read a selection of her original work.
