Augsburg Theater Department presents:
The Clockwork Professor
by Maggie Lee
Directed by Beliza Torres Narváez

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!

For Native American Heritage Month, American Indian Student Services is sponsoring an Indigenous Book club where we will read Shutter by Ramona Emerson. Rita Todacheene is a forensic photographer working for the Albuquerque police force. Her excellent photography skills have cracked many cases—she is almost supernaturally good at capturing details. In fact, Rita has been hiding a secret: she sees the ghosts of crime victims who point her toward the clues that other investigators overlook. We will meet on Tuesday, Nov. 14th from 5:30pm-7pm to discuss the book and have dinner. RSVP is limited to 20 people. Students, staff, and faculty are welcome to participate. You will receive the book after you RSVP. Please direct any questions to aiss@augsburg.edu.

Augsburg Theater Department presents:

The Clockwork Professor
by Maggie Lee
Directed by Beliza Torres Narváez

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!

For Native American Heritage Month, American Indian Student Services is sponsoring an Indigenous Book club where we will read Shutter by Ramona Emerson. Rita Todacheene is a forensic photographer working for the Albuquerque police force. Her excellent photography skills have cracked many cases—she is almost supernaturally good at capturing details. In fact, Rita has been hiding a secret: she sees the ghosts of crime victims who point her toward the clues that other investigators overlook. We will meet on Tuesday, Nov. 14th from 5:30pm-7pm to discuss the book and have dinner. RSVP is limited to 20 people. Students, staff, and faculty are welcome to participate. You will receive the book after you RSVP. Please direct any questions to aiss@augsburg.edu.

The East Phillips Neighborhood Institute has recently joined the Zero Burn Coalition, a growing movement to shut down the HERC trash burner in Minneapolis.

Join us for a rally and meeting of Hennepin County Commissioners, this Tuesday (10/23), from 12-3 p.m., to call for a shutdown date of 2025 at the latest! At this meeting, commissioners will be voting on a resolution of a shutdown between 2028-2040, but we are showing up to say that this timeline is not acceptable.

To learn more, view fact sheets in English and Spanish, sign a petition and follow the coalition on social media follow this link: https://linktr.ee/zeroburn

There is also a growing list of people speaking out about the harmful impacts of the HERC, including teachers, health professionals, environmental lawyers, union leaders, and students. For instance, a local school nurse testified,

“Whenever I worked near the HERC, I noticed a much higher percentage of students with asthma…I kept extra inhalers and nebulizers for those with severe asthma, and sometimes these saved lives.”

As noted in the provost’s email to campus last week, the Batalden Convocation—originally scheduled for October 25—will be postponed, with a plan to reschedule for Spring 2024. A new date will be announced by early December. Classes on October 25 will take place as regularly scheduled, not on the convocation schedule.
