Sneak Peak!
Ben Brantley of the New York Times reported, "Set in Wyomissing, Pa., in the womblike "cub room" of the club of the title, the comedy follows a year in the lives of six insular friends (and one outsider) through a series of holiday-themed parties where drinks are bolted and truths are spewed...Mr. Beane has the ear of both the natural dramatist and the inspired satirist, often bringing a transforming poetic sparkle to the conventions of WASP speak." Performances will be Wednesday, April 18 through Friday, April 20 at 7:30p.m. at Cabe Theatre with an additional performance on Saturday, April 21 at 2:00p.m. You may make your reservations by using the
Box Office Online form, or by calling (501) 450-1343. Tickets are free and there will not be assigned seating.

Offering students the opportunity to seek answers is the mission of the department. To that end we seek to accomplish these learning goals:
- To create an environment that is both rigorous and encouraging,
- To provide direct learning experiences in the classroom and
- To recognize indirect learning experiences outside of the classroom--intellectual, emotional, and physical,
- To understand the need that each culture possesses for self-expression,
- To embrace the collaborative nature of the discipline.
