Augsburg Stays Local with Food

Augsburg Dinning is committed to staying local. Being a local companying, we (Aviands) believe in the opportunities need by local companies to not only grow, but to limit the size of the eco-footprint left by companies. Here at Augsburg Dinning, we use all local companies to provide the food for our customers. So next time you get that burger or salad know that it may taste a little "Greener" and the eco-foot print is about a "size 5".

Tickets on Sale Now for 'Eurydice'

Tickets are now on sale for Eurydice, directed by Martha Johnson.
Available performance dates are:
6 and 8 at 7 p.m.
and Nov 8 and 9 at 2 p.m.

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. 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

Tickets are now on sale for
$10 for General Public
$8 for ACTC faculty and staff
$5 for non-Augsburg students and
$2 for Augsburg students and children under 12
All Augsburg students need to bring their student ID.
