Before heading out there will be coffee and snacks and you will receive a thorough training both on the project and canvassing!

Augsburg Theater Department presents:
The Clockwork Professor
by Maggie Lee
Directed by Beliza Torres NarvĂĄez
Thursday, Nov 9- Saturday, Nov 11 at 7 pm.
Sun Nov 12 at 3 pm.
Tjornhom-Nelson Theater, Foss Center
The show runs for approximately 2 hours with an intermission.
Professor Shae Pemberton is a humble, secretive inventor who leads a quiet life focused on science. However, as her loyal assistant Matilda reminds her, fixing broken toys, clocks, and household gadgets is what she must do to pay the bills. When her friend Lawrence visits her with a business proposal from two shady fellows, buried secrets from her past resurface. As political unrest sweeps over the great city of New Providence, unexpected (and weird!) events start to unravel and threaten to destroy everything Pemberton holds dear, perhaps even the Crown itself! The Clockwork Professor is an action-packed adventure of fantastical science fiction with a steampunk twist.
Content Disclosure: The Clockwork Professor is a comedy intended for young adult and adult audiences. This play includes the use of some strong language and contains suggested nudity. There are also simulated fights, physical restraint, and a bit of romantic display of affection. Ah! And there will be some occasional theatrical smoke, too!

Augsburg Theater Department presents:
The Clockwork Professor
by Maggie Lee
Directed by Beliza Torres NarvĂĄez
Friday, Nov 3, and Thursday, Nov 4, at 7 pm.
Thursday, Nov 9- Saturday, Nov 11 at 7 pm.
Sun Nov 12 at 3 pm.
Tjornhom-Nelson Theater, Foss Center
The show runs for approximately 2 hours with an intermission.
Professor Shae Pemberton is a humble, secretive inventor who leads a quiet life focused on science. However, as her loyal assistant Matilda reminds her, fixing broken toys, clocks, and household gadgets is what she must do to pay the bills. When her friend Lawrence visits her with a business proposal from two shady fellows, buried secrets from her past resurface. As political unrest sweeps over the great city of New Providence, unexpected (and weird!) events start to unravel and threaten to destroy everything Pemberton holds dear, perhaps even the Crown itself! The Clockwork Professor is an action-packed adventure of fantastical science fiction with a steampunk twist.
Content Disclosure: The Clockwork Professor is a comedy intended for young adult and adult audiences. This play includes the use of some strong language and contains suggested nudity. There are also simulated fights, physical restraint, and a bit of romantic display of affection. Ah! And there will be some occasional theatrical smoke, too!

Friday, Nov 3, and Thursday, Nov 4, at 7 pm.
Thursday, Nov 9- Saturday, Nov 11 at 7 pm.
Sun Nov 12 at 3 pm.
Tjornhom-Nelson Theater, Foss Center
The show runs for approximately 2 hours with an intermission.
Professor Shae Pemberton is a humble, secretive inventor who leads a quiet life focused on science. However, as her loyal assistant Matilda reminds her, fixing broken toys, clocks, and household gadgets is what she must do to pay the bills. When her friend Lawrence visits her with a business proposal from two shady fellows, buried secrets from her past resurface. As political unrest sweeps over the great city of New Providence, unexpected (and weird!) events start to unravel and threaten to destroy everything Pemberton holds dear, perhaps even the Crown itself! The Clockwork Professor is an action-packed adventure of fantastical science fiction with a steampunk twist.
Content Disclosure: The Clockwork Professor is a comedy intended for young adult and adult audiences. This play includes the use of some strong language and contains suggested nudity. There are also simulated fights, physical restraint, and a bit of romantic display of affection. Ah! And there will be some occasional theatrical smoke, too!
