Alphabetical Listing for Performance Details

 

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Monday-Saturday, January 30-February 4; 7:00 p.m. for Dessert Theatre; 6:30 p.m. for Friday Dinner Show; Brock Hall
Tickets » Dessert evenings $8 – BC Community; $11 – Adults
Dinner Show $16 – BC Community; $20 – Adults

A delightful musical that centers around a fictional spelling bee where six quirky adolescents compete in the Bee, run by three equally quirky grown-ups. It forces the overachieving “outsiders” to examine themselves, their families, and each other. Infused with empathy and heart, Spelling Bee is downright hilarious. The only word for it is “W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L”.

The main character in this hard-hitting story set shortly after World War II is Joe Keller, a manufacturer of war materials who became rich as a result of a conflict that took one of his sons and imprisoned a colleague.  Winner of the Drama Critic's Award for Best New Play in 1947, All My Sons established Arthur Miller as a leading voice in the American theater.  In this play Miller introduced themes that thread through his body of work:  the relationships between fathers and sons and the conflict between business and personal ethics.

Curtains: A Musical Murder Mystery

Thursday-Saturday, April 19-21; 7:30 p.m.; Rudd Auditorium
Tickets go on sale Monday, April 2 »
$7 – BC Community; $9 – Non-BC Student; $11 – Adults

A send-up of backstage murder mystery plots set in 1959, which follows the fallout when the supremely untalented star of Robbin' Hood of the Old West is murdered during her opening night curtain call. It is up to a police detective who moonlights as a musical theater fan to save the show, solve the case, and maybe even find love before the show reopens, without getting killed himself.		  
 

Lifting the Veil

Wednesday - Saturday, November 16-19; 7:30 p.m.; Brock Hall
A $2 general admission fee to support the Rachel Morgan Patron Scholarship Fund is payable at the door.

Lifting the Veil is a “what-if” tale, loosely based upon the obscure marriage of Kathryn Kuhlman and Burroughs Waltrip. The wedding night would provide the threshold to an intense collision course of biblical imagery, ministry vision, and the requirements of love.  Burroughs became an early developer of Christian evangelistic radio ministry, while Katherine, decades after her marriage, held evangelistic and faith-healing meetings that drew tens of thousands. She became the most influential woman evangelist since Aimee Semple McPherson.		  
 

Liszt 200th Birthday Celebration Concert

Friday, September 23; 7:30 p.m.; Rudd Auditorium; Free admission		  
  

Michael Card on Campus (all events are free and open to the public)

  • Wednesday and Friday, September 21 and 23, 10 a.m.; Rudd Auditorium–Chapel guest speaking on "Jesus in the Gospel of Luke"
  • Wednesday, September 21; 4:00 p.m.; Rudd Auditorium–Presentation: "My Creative Journey"
In a career that spans 25 years, Michael Card has recorded over 23 albums, authored or co‑authored over 19 books, written for a wide range of magazines, and hosted a radio program. While he has penned such favorites as “El Shaddai”, “Love Crucified Arose”, and “Emmanuel,” he never imagined selling more than 4 million albums or writing over 19 #1 hits. The popularity of his work seemed a stark contrast to his goal in life, to simply, and quietly teach the Bible. Never one to compartmentalize his spiritual life, Card's quest for community slowly seeped into his professional life as he began to write articles and books on topics that captured his imagination through conversations with Bible teachers, friends and contemporaries in both Christian music and the academic community.
