Reception to follow. Sponsored by Randolph College’s Museum and Heritage Studies Program.3 - Fri^4 p.m.2025 Randolph College Greek Play Sophocles’ Antigone Dell, Outdoor Areas The 2025 Randolph College Greek Play is Sophocles’ Antigone, which pits the title character against Creon, the current ruler of Thebes. Antigone’s brother Polynices has died while attacking Thebes to regain the throne from his brother Eteocles, who also dies in the conflict. Creon decrees that Eteocles may be given a proper burial, but that Polynices must be left for the birds and dogs, since he traitorously raised an army against his hometown. Antigone defies the order and buries her brother, and Creon condemns her to death. Their actions set in motion many unintended consequences. The play dramatizes the conflicts we still have between public and private, male and female, law and religion, state and family.
Our production of Antigone in 2000 revived the Greek Play tradition, and we’ll be celebrating a quarter century of the renewed series in 2025! More information will be at randolphcollege.edu/cad/25th.. Directed by Amy R. Cohen,

The Pedro Giraudo Tango Quartet is internationally acclaimed as one of the premiere ambassadors for the evolution of tango into new territories. Composed of four virtuoso musicians, the quartet’s performances feature Pedro's own innovative compositions and arrangements, as well as his interpretations of the great tango masters from Pugliese to Piazzolla. They have released three albums to date: the very first, Vigor Tanguero, won a Latin GRAMMY in 2018. The second, Impulso Tanguero (2021), continued to evolve the possibilities of tango, demonstrating how Giraudo’s contemporary tango style crossed over elegantly and seamlessly to the world of chamber music. In the most recent release, Strata (2024), Giraudo ventures into the world of symphonic music, crafting a rich sonic landscape that draws from his diverse musical influences.
Joining them is Virginia Tango, the Richmond-based husband-and-wife duo of Cristian Bravo and Anna León, whose mission is to transmit the identity of Argentine Tango and its social and theatrical expression. These dancers have a combined experience of more than 35 years as professional tango dancers, including championship competition awards, and teaching and performing all over the world and in prominent schools in Buenos Aires.

Join the Performing Arts Department for the fall Theatre Program production of Almost, Maine by John Cariani. Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream. Almost, Maine is a series of amiably absurdist vignettes about love, with a touch of good-natured magic realism…witty, romantic, unsentimental. A beautifully structured play, with nifty surprise endings.7 - Fri^7 p.m.Women's Basketball vs William Peace Gym, Athletics and Dance Center7:30 p.m.Almost, Maine by John Cariani Thoresen Theatre, Harold G.

Join the Performing Arts Department for the spring Theatre Program musical. Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.7:30 p.m.The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee Thoresen Theatre, Harold G.

Touted by JazzTimes Magazine as “a jazz talent...whose imprint and vitality has already been quite visible...” Shana’s style and sound have been described as a curious mash-up of Joni Mitchell, Dianne Reeves, Ella Fitzgerald and Tracy Chapman, with an efficient complexity of songwriting reminiscent of Bill Withers.
Following the release and promotion of her debut CD, SHiNE (MamaGooch Music), a radio interview on NPR led to an invitation to join the musical cast of KÀ by Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas, where Shana remained for 5 years before returning to a full-time schedule of performing, recording, collaborating on an international level. A committed arts education advocate, Shana is also a sought-after teaching artist, frequently presenting workshops and artist-in-residences in schools and communities across the country, for people of all ages and abilities, students and teachers and aspiring teaching artists alike.28 - Sat^7 p.m.Men's Volleyball vs EMU Gym, Athletics and Dance Center
