Feb 1    Waitress The Musical Ticket Sales

LMP is hosting a bus trip to see the musical Waitress in Atlanta! Trip is on Sunday, Feb. 10 departing at 9am and returning at 8pm. Tickets are $25 for WCU students only. Tickets will be available at the UC Guest Services Desk Jan. 22 to Feb. 5. 

Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror her topsy-turvy life such as “The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie” and “Betrayed By My Eggs Pie.” When a baking contest in a nearby county — and a satisfying encounter with someone new — shows Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize it. Change is on the menu, as long as Jenna can write her own perfectly personal recipe for happiness.

Brought to life by a groundbreaking, all-female creative team, this Tony Award®-nominated hit features original music and lyrics by 6-time Grammy® nominee Sara Bareilles (“Love Song,” “Brave”), a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson (I Am Sam) and direction by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus (Pippin, Finding Neverland).

“WAITRESS is a little slice of heaven!” says Entertainment Weekly, and is “sweet, sassy and passionate,” according to New York Magazine. Don’t miss this uplifting and hilarious musical.

Feb 7    First Thursday Concert - Cullowheezer

Western Carolina University’s next FREE First Thursday Old-Time and Bluegrass Series event will feature Cullowheezer performing at MadStone Café and Catching Light Books.

The concert will be led by local performers Brett and Pan Riggs and William Ritter are new friends playing old music. William is a native of Bakersville, NC, and an alum of Western Carolina University. He graduated with a degree in Technical Theatre, but spent most of his time in school studying the musical folk traditions of western North Carolina. William plays banjo, fiddle, guitar, and other stringed instruments. He is particularly interested in old apple trees and mountain humor--ever eager to swap lies, half-truths, jokes, and seeds.

They have been performing as the band for a Square Dance that takes place monthly at the Family Resource Center in Webster, NC. They hail from different places, but share the rich heritage of rural North Carolina, where neighbors gathered to sing and dance together, and community was valued and nurtured. Their set will include songs from “down east,” haunting melodies from the shadows of NC’s high blue peaks, plus a few sunny surprises.

The events are free and open to the public. Pickers and singers of all ages and experience levels are invited to take part in the jam sessions, which also are open to those who just want to listen. The First Thursday Series continues on March 7 with the Berea Bluegrass Ensemble.

Please join the Department of Anthropology and Sociology for a special Brown Bag lecture by Dr. Kristina Jacobson.

Kristina Jacobsen holds a PhD in Cultural Anthropology from Duke University, the MPhil in Ethnomusicology from Columbia University, a Master’s in Ethnomusicology from Arizona State University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Music (flute performance) and History (concentration: Native North America).

Based on 2 ½ years of singing and playing with Navajo county western bands, her book, The Sound of Navajo Country: Music, Language and Dine Belonging (2017, University of North Carolina Press), examines cultural intimacy and generational nostalgia on the Navajo (Dine) Nation. This book is the first in a series, Critical Indigeneities, edited by J. K"ãhaulani Kauanui and Jean M. O’Brien and focusing on contemporary indigenous experience and critical theory. Her research interests include: music and language, anthropology of the voice, politics of authenticity, indigeneity and belonging, music of Native North America, Sardinia and the Appalachian mountains, race and musical genre, music as cultural performance, indigenous language revitalization and U.S. working class expressive cultures. Her latest ethnographic project focuses on American music, settler colonialism and Sardinian language politics on the Italian island of Sardinia.

Feb 21    Insurrectionist Ethics: Boldly Confronting Oppression

Dr. Lee A. McBride III, Associate Professor in the College of Wooster’s Department of Philosophy, will give a public lecture on his work, based on the second chapter of his book with the working title, Ethics and Insurrection: Boldly Confronting Oppression.  Of the chapter, he writes: "I introduce insurrectionist ethics as a response to oppression. In this piece, I offer a tenable account of oppression, and discuss several ways oppression manifests in the world – sex-based, class-based, race-based, sexuality-based, etc. I articulate the central features of insurrectionist ethics, then argue that insurrection of some sort is needed in the face of oppression. I discuss violence and what it would mean to be non-violent to a clearly oppressive situation."

Hosts: A Jerry Jackson Lecture in the Humanities presented by the Dept. of Philosophy & Religion, The Honors College, Intercultural Affairs, College of Arts & Sciences, and the Chief Diversity Office.

Degree Plus: Cultural Responsiveness.
