Nebraska State Museum Presents Hubblevision
2
Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space
Telescope has provided incredible images in unprecedented detail
to astronomers, and made an astonishing array of discoveries from
nearby objects in the solar system to the most distant galaxies at
limits of the observable universe.
The best and most exciting Hubble images have been woven into an
engaging story of cosmic exploration, bringing the wonders of the
universe to audiences everywhere. HUBBLE Vision 2 is a fascinating
tour of the cosmos from Earth orbit.
In this all-new production, major themes in current astronomy and
cosmology are presented: new views of the planets; peeks into starbirth
nurseries; visions of stardeath in its many forms; explorations of
star clusters and galaxies; and views of the universe when the earliest
galaxies were first coming into being.

University Theatre Present World
Premiere of Woyzeck
UNL Theatre's University Theatre
presents the world premiere of a new translation of the Georg Buchner
play Woyzeck. Dr. William Grange, professor of Theatre
Arts at UNL and a German Drama specialist, translated the play from
the German during the summer. Grange also directs the production,
with performances on November 5 and
6 at 7:30 PM. All performances are in
the Studio Theatre, third floor Temple Building at 12th and R Streets. Tickets
are available at the Lied Center Ticket Office, 301 N. 12th Street,

and may only be purchased at the door. Regular performance tickets
are $14.00 regular, $12.00 faculty/staff and senior citizen, $10.00
student. The production is not recommended for children.
Woyzeck tells the story of Franz
Woyzeck, the servant of a German captain. Woyzeck leads the life
of the poor in the 1800s. Considered by the upper classes, because
of his lot in life, to be amoral and stupid, Woyzeck tries to think,
to be a philosopher, but is chided for his attempt. In order to
earn additional money, Woyzeck allows the Doctor to experiment on
him. The latest test is eating nothing but peas in order to prove
some unstated scientific premise. To add to his trials, Woyzeck
discovers his girlfriend Marie, with whom he has had a son, is having
an affair. Stripped of all humanity, Woyzeck resorts to desperate
measures.
Buchner wrote Woyzeck sometime between 1835 and his untimely
death of typhoid in 1837. His work on the play was incomplete at
his death; the manuscripts consisting of several incomplete drafts. No
one really knows, had Buchner lived beyond his twenty-four years,
how he might have arranged the play's scenes. The manuscripts were
unpublished and largely unread until the 1870s.
Dr. Grange comments that "the play is a fragment, and it will always
remain so." The play has been translated several times and has even
been made into an opera. Said Grange, An "important reason for Woyzeck's popularity
in recent decades is the perceived victimhood of the title character." The
cast of seventeen undergraduates is led by Ivan Lovegren as Franz,
and Courtney Pearson as Marie. The Captain is played by William
Heafer, and the Doctor by Robert Krecklow. Additional cast members
include Darin Hemmer, Erin Dinnenn, Sean Connealy, Jordan Warren,
Adam O'Rourke, Ryan Lueders, Misty Madden, Gerald Temple, Brady Leffler,
Zachary Schmahl, Matt Miller, Kestrel Hauptmann, and Rachel Miller.
The tech/design team is made up of faculty members Ed Stauffer (scenery)
and Heath Lane (technical direction), graduate students Cassie Vorbach
(lights), Jenny Ploughman (makeup) and Jeff O'Brien (sound/composer),
and undergraduates Ashley Evans (costumes) and Mark Romano (stage
manager).
