HYPERTENSION at the Elaine L. Jacob Gallery

June 19 2013 at 12:00 PM

Old Main

The James Pearson Duffy Department of Art and Art History's Elaine L. Jacob Gallery is pleased to present HYPERTENSION, April 26 through July 19, 2013. HYPERTENSION brings together multi-media artists and designers whose work reflects the blurring of artistic disciplines evident in our contemporary visual culture. The selected works disrupt boundaries between the cerebral and the physical; between past and present. They encourage us to absorb and interpret information across multiple channels, channels that often trigger paradoxical emotions, expanding both the intellectual and emotional involvement of the viewer.

'Cinderella' at the Hilberry Theatre

June 20 2013 at 10:30 AM

Hilberry Theatre

The Maggie Allesee Department of Theatre and Dance launches its inaugural Detroit Youth Theatre and Dance Journey with the children’s play Cinderella or It’s Okay to Be Different by Cynthia Mercati. The play travels to eleven different Detroit Public Elementary Schools throughout the month of June. It plays at the Hilberry Theatre June 20 - 30. This tale of Cinderella takes place on a school playground as a group of lively students discover that their familiar Cinderella story isn't the only one - that there was a Cinderella in ancient Egypt and one among the Algonquin Indians and that there are hundreds of Cinderella tales all around the world! In an innovative, sophisticated, and theatrical style, this fast-paced, up-beat, multicultural show focuses on the universality of folk literature and finds that it's okay to be different. Individual Tickets are $5 for children and $8 for adults. There is a $5 per ticket price for groups of 10 or more. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Hilberry Theatre Box Office at 313-577-2972, online at www.wsushows.com, or by visiting the box office at 4743 Cass Ave. on the corner of Cass Ave. and Hancock.
