David Hirson’s

Oct 01 7:30 PM

DAVID HIRSON’S "LA BÊTE"
at Telfair Peet Theatre

Hirson’s comedy of contemporary sensibilities viewed through a neoclassical frame opened on Broadway in 1991. The play is set in the time of the 17th century playwright Moliere, whose work inspires both the action and Hirson’s lyrical, rhyming script. Elomire is the head of a theatre troupe whose wealthy patron has demanded that they collaborate with the street performer Valere, bringing about a clash of high art and lowbrow entertainment. “The neoclassical period was all about rules, structure, the unities,” says director Daydrie Hague. “Elomire, whose very name is a play on Moliere‘s, represents those qualities and really embodies truth in language, dramatic form and content-what we might call high art. Valere breaks those rules and brings chaos, excitement, humor, even danger to the process; in short, entertainment value.” La Bête features scenic and lighting design by Fehreshteh Rostampour, costume design by Tracy Oleinick, and sound design by Kelly Walker. The cast is comprised of Madeleine Koon, Marcus Clement, Roxanne Gatian, Taylor Galvin, Spencer Hardy, Eli Jolley, Perry Jones, Garrett Keller, Houston Mahoney, Sarah Jean Peters, Anna Claire Walker, and Ben Young III. Meghan McCarthy and Kaye Stucky will be performing in the pre-show. Tickets are free to Auburn University Students and $15 for the general public.

at Big Dog Running Co., 758 Glenn Ave, Auburn

Big Dog Running Co. is kicking off the Jeff Galloway marathon and half marathon training program at the store on Glenn Avenue. Jeff Galloway, a former U.S. Olympian, is the name and athlete behind the training program and will be speaking at the store this evening not only promoting the program, but answering runners questions.

Jeff’s training program is designed to help average people of all skill levels and ages to complete a half or full marathon. Even the most out of shape and inactive individuals can complete a marathon at the end of the training period by adhering to Jeff’s run/walk approach to training. This approach advocates establishing a run/walk ratio that enables participants to go the distance while remaining healthy and injury free. The program requires two 30-minute run/walks during the week and a long group run/walk on the weekend. The 26-Week Marathon and 16-week Half Marathon training program offer: • Group support structure for training. • Set training schedule. • Expert advice on running techniques, gear, nutrition, and injury prevention. • Time-goal driven training and Pace Group Leader opportunities for experienced runners.

Visitors can taste all kinds of syrup, honey and jams made locally. You can learn about the Loachapoka history and how the earliest settlers used sorghum and ribbon cane to make sugar. Kids and adults can watch locals dressed as settlers explain how syrup is made from sugar cane and even demonstrate right before your eyes. Take a pony ride, or grab a Polish sausage with grilled peppers and onions. It’s almost like a country fair, but with just the food; and who wouldn’t want to come out and try some all of these delicious sweet and savory bites. And when you feel too stuffed to eat anymore, rest your legs and tap your feet to some live folk music. The Syrup Sopping Day is a day in our area that you don’t want to miss!

John James Audubon intended his compositions to convey information, not only about the fauna he represented, but also about their environments. He also provided detailed pictures of the natural landscape as well as the human mark laid upon it. This exhibition will study the observations Audubon made and recorded in the landscape backgrounds of his prints. This event is free and open to the public.

The Vanynberg Vignettes

THE VANYNBERG VIGNETTES

Simply put, The Vanynberg Vignettes is our creative answer to the typical, everyday, run-of-the-mill haunted house. We're putting together a creative team to develop a highly stylized, theatrically scripted, dynamic production that will leave our audience speechless. Don't expect worms, or witches with brooms. The Vanynberg Vignettes is a bone-chilling story about a Southern family which will need no frills. Pure. Gut wrenching. Real. Shows at 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00 PM on October 21,22, 28, 29, 31. Tickets available here: http://www.artful.ly/store/events/4e7b442e6fc0b2ee41fef06d
