The Dobbins Conservatory of Theatre and Dance will present Working: a musical from October 30 through November 2.

Steven Schwartz' hit Broadway musical, Working, paints a vivid portrait of the workers that the world so often takes for granted: the schoolteacher, the phone operator, the waitress, the millworker, the mason, and the housewife, just to name a few. Nominated for six Tony Awards, Working has been updated for a modern age, featuring new songs by Tony Award-winning Lin-Manuel Miranda, as well as favorites by Stephen Schwartz, Craig Carnelia, James Taylor, Micki Grant, and more. Mature audiences recommended.

You can see Working: a musical in the Rust Flexible Theatre at the River Campus from Thursday, October 30, through Sunday, November 2. Tickets are available online or at the River Campus Box Office.

"History of Observation at SEMO"
Peggy Hill, Joseph Murphy, and Pam Mills
Johnson Hall 200, 6-7 p.m.

Space Week will invite the community to look up, discover, and experience the wonder of space through engaging talks, stargazing sessions, and interactive activities.

The new Vollink Family Observatory at Southeast Missouri State University provides both the University and the surrounding community with a powerful, state-of-the-art astronomical telescope for exploring the night sky, along with facilities that support outreach, education, and research. But this is not the first observatory in SEMO’s history.

Join us for an evening that turns back the clock to explore the origins of astronomical observing at SEMO and see just how far we’ve come!
