Seminary & Divinity School Fair Sept. 25 @ Gustavus

If you are interested in exploring a possible vocation as a pastor, lay ministry professional, religion professor, AIM, or deacon, then you will want to check out the Seminary & Divinity School Fair held on September 25 at Gustavus Adolphus College. Augsburg will be brining a contingent of students to visit with representatives from nearly 20 top-notch schools, participate in break-out sessions that explore the possibilities of a seminary or divinity school education, and talk with current students and recent alumni about their experiences.

We will depart Augsburg at 8 a.m. and return at about 5 p.m. The day begins with chapel at Gustavus, followed by a welcome and introductory comments. A lunch, featuring Augsburg MIS professor and pastor, Lee Clarke will happen mid-day breakout sessions in the afternoon. All day long, representatives from seminaries and divinity schools will be on hand to answer questions about programs and vocational opportunities.

This day is an important way to explore possibilities with people who want to help you find your best fit for a school, a career, and a vocation. Students who are just "checking it out" are encouraged to attend as well.

Talk to Religion Faculty or Campus Ministry staff about this possibility. To register, email Ross Murray at murray@augsburg.edu.

It is vital for you to bring your card when you come to eat. Whether you are using flex dollars or board, it is for your safety that you use your card. Others around you can hear your number and then use up all of your points. We have requested that all cashiers ask for a card in order to best serve you. So when the cashier asks for your card, remember that it is in your best interest and safety.

Eurydice, Fall Theatre Auditions

Eurydice Theater Auditions, Monday, September 8, 7 p.m.

The Augsburg Theater Arts Department will hold auditions for its fall main stage production, Eurydice, by Sarah Ruhl, directed by Martha Johnson. Auditions will be held Monday, September 8, from 7 - 9:30 p.m. in the Tjornhom-Nelson Theater, Foss Center. An audition sign-up sheet is posted on the Tjornhom-Nelson Theater door in the Atrium of the Foss Center.

All Augsburg students are welcome to audition! Audition monologues and copies of the play Eurydice have been placed on reserve in the library under Martha Johnson’s name. Monologues need not be memorized, but should be well-prepared. It is recommended that you read the entire play in order to have a sense of the tone of the piece and the nature of the characters.

Call-back auditions will be held Wednesday, September 10, from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m.

Description of Eurydice: In this poignant and enchanting play, Sarah Ruhl (Pulitzer Prize nominee and MacArthur "genius grant" winner) presents her contemporary take on the ancient Greek tale of Eurydice and Orpheus. Written after her father’s death, Ruhl meditates with delicacy and insight on Eurydice’s painful decision whether to remain with her father in the Underworld, or to return with her love Orpheus to the land of the living. ". . . exhilarating. . .we enter a surreal world, as lush and limpid as a dream, where both author and audience swim in the magical and thrilling flow of the unconscious."--The New Yorker
