The 39 Steps*
Terry Concert Hall
October 3 and 4 at 7:30 PM
Jacksonville University recreates the 1937 Lux Radio Theater CBS
broadcast live on stage with Foley sound effects artists, actors, and a
live orchestra. Following the hugely popular “War of the Worlds” and
“Dracula,” Deborah Jordan directs this third radio play re-enactment.
Engaging Form, Work by John Oles and Mika Fowler
October 9 – November 5
Opening Reception October 9 from 5–7 PM
This two-person exhibition will feature works exploring the derivative
of layering form, material, and content. Oles’ elegant porcelain vessels
explore alterations that combine references to natural and figurative
contours, while inviting the touch of the hand to fully explore their form.
Fowler’s photographs are a reaction to cultural thoughts of ideal beauty,
violence, and proclivities where the reality of the subject is impeded as in
a dream or hallucination. “What capacity photography has for delusion;
it’s not real at all, simply a wonderful opportunity to create a private
world.” The combined exhibit can be described as a throwing off of social
contrivances and an embracing of the sensuality of contemporary design.

the Bee, making each performance unique. This show is recommended for
theatergoers age 13 and over. With music and lyrics by William Finn, a book

Spring | January
Encumbered, Karen Kurycki and Shelley Sloan Ellis
January 15 – February 11
Opening Reception January 15 from 5-7 PM
Bold humor is at the heart of this two-person exhibition. Kurycki’s view
of the world sees the humorous, the quirky, and the slightly off normal.
Working primarily in watercolor, she communicates observation through
design and illustration, embracing the unpredictability and surprise
that can come out of using watercolor. Ellis has been described as an
artist “wild, in love with the plasticity of clay….an artist with chops.”
Her inventive and fearless ceramic sculptures symbolize the position of
women in society, expressed through the image of the apron, exposing her
understanding of female vulnerability. Combined, the resulting exhibition
will be original, entertaining, and gifted by the structure of media.

University in New Concord, Ohio.
Omphalos, Lauren Frances Evans and Jensen Hande
February 19 – March 18
Opening Reception February 19 from 5-7 PM
The Greek term omphalos, literally translated as navel, refers to various
symbolic centers, believed to connect the earthly and the divine. This
two-person exhibition was prompted by urges and the allure of origins.
Evans considers all creative acts to be intermediary attempts to narrow
the distance between the material and the immaterial. Her sculptural work
addresses the body as a site of irresistible paradox. Hande’s photographs,
portrait in nature, are equally investigative and explore the potential
humor, sweetness, and commercialism juxtaposed within the portraits'
format. The pairing of artistic content creates a platform for viewer
investigation and discovery.

Arts or Crafts*
Swisher Theater
February 19, 20, and 21 at 7:30 PM
What separates a hobby from a masterpiece? Who has the right to judge?
In a series of clever vignettes ranging from the hilarious to the disturbing,
“Arts or Crafts” explores censorship and snobbery when judging the
artistic. From early Greek architecture to Christina Aguilera, nothing is
sacred in this incisive new comedy. This is the Northeast Florida premiere
of an original work from acclaimed author Rob Roznowski. This show is
recommended for theatergoers age 13 and over.
