Pipeline
Etherredge Center Room 103 O'Connell Theatre
Pipeline, By Dominique Morriseau, Director: Dewey Scott-Wiley
Nya, an inner-city public high school teacher, is committed to her students but desperate to give her only son Omari opportunities they’ll never have. When a controversial incident at his upstate private school threatens to get him expelled, Nya must confront his rage and her own choices as a parent. But will she be able to reach him before a world beyond her control pulls him away? With profound compassion and lyricism, Pipeline brings an urgent conversation powerfully to the fore. Morisseau pens a deeply moving story of a mother’s fight to give her son a future — without turning her back on the community that made him who he is.
Thanks to underwriting generously provided by the Office of the Provost, USCA students may see this performance free of charge. In order to do so, students must come to the Box Office, show a valid USCA Student ID, and claim your ticket. Only one ticket will be allowed…

A sextet of stars and pianist of The New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players perform The Pirates of Penzance in one act. Set sail with this classic comedy that boasts one of the most famous patter songs in musical theatre history. On the coast of Cornwall, a band of tenderhearted pirates celebrates the coming of age of Frederic, who was mistakenly apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday. Now, Frederic has vowed to devote his life to the extermination of piracy - until a ludicrous leap year snag threatens to keep him apprenticed to the pirates for life!
After intermission, the performers return in black tie and gowns to entertain the audience with many selections from the full repertoire of Gilbert & Sullivan’s comic operas - including our signature section - impromptu audience requests!

Student Recital
Free ACE event open to student body and public.
Roman Fever is a one-act opera by the American composer Robert Ward, and librettist Robert Brunyate, and is based on the short-story by Edith Wharton. "Roman Fever" refers to malaria, which was prevalent near Rome, and, metaphorically, to the exuberance many experience when visiting the romantic Italian capital. The opera takes place on the terrace of a hotel cafe in Rome, Italy, is performed in English and deals with the relationships of two women and their daughters.
Student Performers: MeDoña Summers, Vivica Birt, Ansleigh Tudder, Cara Williams, Marisa Rivera, and Cade Melnyk.
