INTIMATE APPAREL
By Lynn Nottage
Torie Wiggins, alumni guest director
Inspired by turn-of-the-century photographs of her own relatives, Nottage’s play follows the life of Esther, a gifted African American seamstress living in New York City in 1905. Esther creates beautiful clothes for women from every part of society, but longs for her own romantic partner and home life. While drawn to the Hasidic shopkeeper who sells her cloth, she nonetheless begins a correspondence with a Caribbean man, George, who asks to marry her, sight unseen. A delicate and tender exploration of the human heart, Intimate Apparel won the 2004 New York Drama Critics Award for Best Play.
Estimated run time: 2 hours and 15 minutes, plus one 15-minute intermission  
Location: Cohen Family Studio Theater
Tickets: $26 adult, $15 student, $20 UC faculty/staff, $10 UC student, $5 CCM student; group discounts available. Buy tickets online.

CARRIE: THE MUSICAL
Music by Michael Gore
Lyrics by Dean Pitchford
Book by Lawrence D. Cohen
Based on the novel by Stephen King
A co-production of The Carnegie and CCM
From the twisted imagination of Stephen King comes a tale of terror, power, and teenage rage like no other. CARRIE: THE MUSICAL thrusts you into the world of Carrie White — the shy outsider bullied at school and tormented at home by her fanatically religious mother. But when she discovers a strange new power, the tables turn… and the results are explosive. Fueled by a driving rock score and raw, emotional intensity, this cult classic crackles with fear, fury, and fire — until everything ignites. Bold, bloody, and utterly unforgettable, it’s a night at the theatre you won’t escape unscathed.

LA BOHÈME
Music by Giacomo Puccini
Libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica
Jose Maria Condemi, director
Aik Khai Pung, conductor
Rent is overdue, but passion burns bright among a group of young friends scraping by on talent, wit and borrowed time. Puccini's soaring arias tell the tale of Mimi, Rodolfo, Marcello and Musetta — dreamers adrift in Paris on the cusp of a new century, where the city is literally reinventing itself. As the first Paris Métro trains rumble beneath, ushering in a breathless age of speed and possibility, life in the garrets above remains unchanged: cold, precarious and lit by the fierce glow of youth. A story that transcends time and place, its message is for the artists, the dreamers, and the everyday people who face challenges but never lose sight of love and connection. Sung in Italian with projected English supertitles.

SAME GESTURE, DIFFERENT CENTURY: RETHINKING MODERNIST PERFORMANCE PRACTICE THROUGH THE MICROTIMING OF THE GAVOTTE
Johanna Frymoyer, Assistant Professor of Music Theory Faculty Fellow at the Nanovic Institute for European Studies at University of Notre Dame
When modernist composers adapt Classical dance gestures, how do performers shape the timing of those gestures in practice? Do they rely solely on modernist literalism, or do they intuitively draw upon older, embodied dance habits? To explore this problem, Frymoyer presents a comparative microtiming analysis of recorded performances across four gavotte excerpts in Mozart’s K. 284/iii and K. 466/i, and Schoenberg’s Suite, Op. 25/ii and iii. Using interonset-interval (IOI) deviation graphs and contour maps, she establishes an empirical baseline for the gavotte rhythm in Mozart to evaluate how interpreters navigate phrasing and anacrusis shaping in Schoenberg. Ultimately, she challenges the belief that performance practice is strictly period-bound. She argues that embodied dance gestures create deeply rooted motoric templates that transcend historical, stylistic and notational divides.

From the twisted imagination of Stephen King comes a tale of terror, power, and teenage rage like no other. CARRIE: THE MUSICAL thrusts you into the world of Carrie White — the shy outsider bullied at school and tormented at home by her fanatically religious mother. But when she discovers a strange new power, the tables turn… and the results are explosive. Fueled by a driving rock score and raw, emotional intensity, this cult classic crackles with fear, fury, and fire — until everything ignites. Bold, bloody, and utterly unforgettable, it’s a night at the theatre you won’t escape unscathed.
