Subject: Art, Truth, & Politics: Conversation on Vocation
Submitter: Douglas E Green, Professor, English

Message: At 7 p.m. tonight, Wednesday, 5 April 2006, in OM 18, ENG 480: Theory and Criticism is hosting a Critical Conversation on Vocation focused on dramatist Harold Pinter's Nobel Lecture: "Art, Truth, and Politics." In preparation for our 90-minute discussion, we would like participants to go to www.nobelprize.org, to watch the 46-minute video of the speech, and, if they like, to download and printout the text of the speech. Watching the video is a powerful experience, because Pinter has 'engineered' his performance. While we might see a bit of the video to start, we don't want to rely on the internet stream when we gather. Everyone interested and able to come is welcome; if you have questions or plan to bring a class or small group, please contact Doug Green (x1187, green@augsburg.edu).

An Aspiring Author's Story with Wendi Wheeleer

What is feminist fiction? What does it mean? How does one write it? Drawing on her experiences as a women's studies major and a wannabe English major, Wendi Wheeler will talk about what writing feminist fiction means to her. She will
share some of her work-in-progress, a collection of short stories about the choices women make when facing an unplanned pregnancy.

Wendi's work has been published in obscure places like the Twin Cities' Real Estate Journal and the Augsburg Echo. Her poetry received a 2005 Engman Award.

Subject: "Metamorphoses" Opens This Friday
Submitter: Sarah E Teich, Student

Message: Tickets are now on sale for the Augsburg College Theatre Departmentās mainstage production of "Metamorphoses," written by Mary Zimmerman and directed by Darcey Engen.

The visceral use of the theatrical staging, modern narrative, and ancient legend ignites deep reflection on the past while speaking to audiences today.

April 9 and 23 at 2 p.m.

Tickets: $2 Augsburg College Students; $8 ACTC faculty, staff, and students; $10 general public.
