Performance: Teatro Paloma: Fade

6:30 p.m. | Steinman Hall

When Lucia, a Mexican-born novelist, gets her first TV writing job, she feels a bit out of place on the white male-dominated set. Lucia quickly becomes friends with the only other Latino around, a janitor named Abel. As Abel shares his stories with Lucia, similar plots begin to find their way into the TV scripts that Lucia writes. A play about class and race within the Latinx community and beyond—and how status does not change who you are at your core.

Gallery Opening: "Tabletop Still Lifes" by Douglas Anderson

6-8 p.m. | Regitz Gallery

Showing the transient nature of life, the still life captures a fleeting moment in time that will never be seen the same way again. Using acrylic on canvas, Douglas Anderson takes traditional still-life subjects and infuses them with his own sense of humor. On display until October 25.
