unfaithful and politically motivated<br />

husband, Medea is exiled from her<br />

home on orders by the King. Medea<br />

to stay for just one more day. Once<br />

Written by Larry Shue<br />

April 24-27, 7:30 PM<br />

April 28, 2:00 & 7:30 PM<br />

MCA Studio Theatre<br />

Winner of two Obie Awards and two<br />

Outer Critics Circle Awards, this gem<br />

of a play is certain to cause sidesplitting<br />

laughter. The reclusively<br />

shy Charlie leaves England and<br />

reluctantly accompanies his friend,<br />

Froggy, on a trip to a fishing lodge set<br />

in rural Georgia. Once there, Froggy<br />

informs the locals that Charlie is from<br />

an exotic country and speaks no<br />

English so that Charlie may be spared<br />

the embarrassment of making idle<br />

conversation. However, the plan backfires as the locals quickly<br />

begin to confide secrets to Charlie that challenge his ability to<br />

remain silent. “A constant invitation to relax and laugh at the<br />

foolishness of life” remarks The Village Voice. You won’t want to<br />

miss this uproarious comedy!<br />

Christina Van Dyke<br />

“I’ll Have a Salad and a Diet Coke: Eating as a<br />

Gendered Act”<br />

March 22, 7:00 PM<br />

MCA Zurcher Auditorium<br />

Christina Van Dyke is associate professor of<br />

Philosophy and Director of Gender Studies<br />

at Calvin College. She has co-edited The<br />

Cambridge History of Medieval Philosophy<br />

and serves as Executive Director for the<br />

Society of Christian Philosophers. Her<br />

presentation will discuss the cultural<br />

constructions of male and female appetites,<br />

and the cultural myths surrounding eating<br />

and dieting, which are particularly damaging to women. She<br />

portrays the Christian diet industry as complicit in creating an<br />

unhealthy understanding of food and nutrition in American public<br />

life, and shows how resources in the Christian tradition can help<br />

improve our thinking about eating and the human body.<br />

He is an HU alumnus, and received his<br />

doctoral degree from Ball State <strong>University</strong><br />
