Department of Theatre: Eurydice
02/26/2027 - 7:30pm, 02/27/2027 - 7:30pm, 02/28/2027 - 2:00pm, 03/03/2027 - 7:30pm, 03/04/2027 - 7:30pm, 03/05/2027 - 7:30pm, 03/06/2027 - 7:30pm

In this lyrical and imaginative retelling of a classic myth, Eurydice shifts the focus to the woman at its center. As Eurydice journeys to the underworld, she reunites with her father and navigates the pull between memory and love. With inventive staging and a dreamlike world of language and sound, the play explores loss, longing, and the enduring bonds that shape us. Tender, whimsical, and quietly devastating, Eurydice invites us to consider what we hold onto, and what we must let go. Sarah Ellis Morgan ’27, director. LU Students attend for FREE, click for more info.

Gravity and Other Myths: Ten Thousand Hours
04/09/2027 - 7:30pm

Everybody is a master of something. Blink, step, jump, balance, flip, fly. This is an ode to the countless hours needed to achieve great things. A tribute to the dedication required to realize our physical ambitions. An acknowledgement of the backstory, often more spectacular than the finished product. Eight acrobats and one musician investigate physical skill: how we obtain it, how we perfect it, and how it can transform our lives. Through highlighting the nuance of high-level acrobatics, audiences experience a heightened appreciation of the countless hours required to master the skills they are witnessing. Set to a driving, dynamic, and intricate musical score using percussion/drums live on-stage, Ten Thousand Hours is a revelry of the distinct physical language that defines GOM and a celebration of the pursuit of mastery. This is a love letter to our bodies and the amazing things they let us do every day. Click HERE for artist's website. LU Students attend for FREE, click for more info.

Well Being Concert: Lisa Fischer & Clay Ross
05/04/2027 - 12:00pm, 05/04/2027 - 4:00pm
Sweet By & By brings together vocalist Lisa Fischer and guitarist Clay Ross, both multiple Grammy Award winners, for an intimate program of American spirituals, folk hymns, and songs of comfort. Stripped down to voice and guitar, these songs slow the room down: melodies carried gently, harmonies left open, and silences given space to breathe. Fischer’s voice moves from a whisper to soaring heights with remarkable tenderness, while Ross’s guitar draws from the deep roots of American folk traditions. Together, they invite listeners into music as reflection, where familiar songs become pathways to stillness, memory, and renewal. It feels less like a concert than a shared moment of calm.
 
Celebrated globally for her Grammy Award-winning solo hit “How Can I Ease the Pain” and her prominent role in the Oscar-winning documentary Twenty Feet From Stardom. She spent decades as a highly sought-after background singer for music royalty like Luther Vandross, The Rolling Stones, and Sting.
