The Barber of Seville
2011-04-12 19:30
Gioachino Rossini’s The Barber of Seville proves to be the finest comic opera in existence! Anything, anytime, anywhere… Whatever you need, just ask Figaro, Seville’s most famous barber and jack-of-all trades. The lovely Rosina and handsome Count Almaviva have marriage on their minds, but sadly, Rosina is promised to the elderly scheming Dr. Bartolo! In comes Figaro, and through a series of disguises, foibles, and follies he liberates Rosina from her gilded cage into the arms of her beloved. From start of finish it is marvelously crafted, brilliantly inventive, and uproariously funny.
For ticket information, contact the Box Office @ 662-846-4626. Box Office hours are Monday-Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. The box office is located in the Jeff Ross Capwell Lobby of the Bolonga Performing Arts Center.

Information Meeting: DSU 2012 Summer Study
2011-09-02 12:00 - 13:00 | Holcombe-Norwood Hall, Room 151
Vienna is one of the world’s foremost centers of art, architecture and music, home to some of the greatest museum collections in the world. Now a bustling modern city, Vienna was once the capital of the Habsburg empire, the relics of its glorious past – Gothic cathedrals, Baroque palaces and churches, majestic boulevards, a range of historicist buildings, and Art Nouveau architecture – endow the city with a rich historical dimension and offer the opportunity to study several centuries of art history in one place.
Over the course of 2 weeks, we will visit many of Vienna’s great museums including the Kunsthistorische Museum, whose holding include numerous examples familiar to students from their art history survey classes, the Belevedere’s collection of Sezession artists Klimt, Schiele, and Kokoschka, the new Museumsquartier, home to several museums dedicated to modern and contemporary art, take a field trip to the Roman legionary city of Carnuntum, immerse ourselves in the Middle Ages with a visit to a fully furnished medieval fortress, see various Baroque churches, tour a Rococo palace that rivals Versailles in France, compare the historicist buildings along the Ringstrasse, and explore the complexity of fin-de-siècle Vienna as exemplified by its Art Nouveau architecture and the work of the Sezession artists.
Of course, a visit to Vienna is not complete without also partaking in the local culture, thus we will attend the opera one evening, sample the local cuisine, sip coffee at real Viennese Kaffeehaus, tour a wine cellar and sample some of its offerings.
Participants can earn up to 6 academic credit hours for this trip by registering for a variety of art and art history courses.
To learn more about this program, attend a first informational meeting on Friday, September 2 at 12:00 pm in 151 HNA
or contact Michaela Merryday at 662-846-4722 or via mmerryday@deltastate.edu
Dates for a second meeting will be announced.

Songs of the Patriot: An Exhibition of WWII Sheet Music
2011-10-01 08:00 - 2011-11-30 17:00 | Capps Archives & Museum Building, Main Gallery
In a collaborative effort between the City of Cleveland’s Martin & Sue King Railroad Heritage Museum and Delta State University’s Archives & Museum, Alumni Foundation, and the Veteran’s Atrium, "Songs of the Patriot: An Exhibition of WWII Sheet Music" will go on display October 1st. Although vintage sheet music is the heart of the exhibit, additional objects on loan or from the collections of the Archives and the train museum will enhance the visitor’s experience. This nationally traveled exhibit is free and open to the public through November 30th in the Veteran’s Atrium in Jobe Hall and the main gallery in the Capps Building. The exhibit at the Railroad Heritage Museum will run through November 12th. Songs of the Patriot takes viewers back in time to the American wartime fronts at home and abroad during World War II through the cover art and lyrics of popular sheet music from 1940 to 1945. The exhibit explores how music publishers, songwriters and cover artists expressed a range of American wartime feelings from anti-war statements to rallying support for troops overseas. It also explores the booming sheet music industry, printing and chromolithography, and the significance of piano playing as a form of home entertainment. Wartime songs captured snapshots of various American attitudes. Themes ranged from pacifism and neutrality at the beginning of the war, to aggression towards the Axis powers, to the hope of loved ones returning home safely. Sheet music covers were the perfect medium for visually interpreting songs that at times could be serious, sentimental or even comical. Whether driven by personal feelings or meeting the demand of the huge music-buying public, these composers and artists were part of a thriving business in which great sums of money were being earned by the music publishing industry. The Politics of Music After the widespread success of songs during World War I, such as "Over There" and "It’s a Long, Long Way to Tipperary," the U.S. government had recognized the power of music during wartime. Historically, the role of music often took on greater importance during trying times because of its ability to reach all levels of American society. In the spirit of patriotic propaganda, the government used images and songs to steer the nation’s collective mind to boost morale and garner support for the war. Unique to World War II, the government commissioned and published songs and even officially sponsored song writing contests. In 1942 the War Department’s Bureau of Public Relations published a pamphlet titled "Music in the National Effort" providing suggestions for communities to use music to keep spirits high for citizens and departing soldiers. Music was the perfect medium for propaganda, which had become a refined tool by World War II. Knowing this, President Franklin Roosevelt called upon the entertainment industry and its celebrities to help rouse patriotism and mobilize the American people. Fighting for Victory at Home Home front efforts were to play an important role in victory. Citizens were called upon to conserve resources, to take on factory jobs producing goods for the military and to help pay for the war. The Treasury Department used songs and sheet music covers in its campaign to promote the buying of war bonds and stamps. Lyrics urged Americans to, "Scrape up the most you can.buy a share of freedom today." "Everyone can help to win the war. Let’s begin investing in the things our country’s fighting for." Covers often had small Treasury logos encouraging Americans to "Buy War Bonds and Stamps for Victory." A "V" for victory symbol and "Minuteman at Concord" figure were typical. Even the back covers of sheet music were used to spread messages, "For Victory, Buy United States War Bonds." By the end of these campaign drives, 8 out of 13 Americans had invested in bonds totaling over $185 billion dollars As a World War II song proclaims, "Millions of voices are ringing, singing as we march along. We did it before and we can do it again." These kinds of messages were able to spread from home to home through the united voices of a nation.

Informational Meeting: Art, Architecture & Culture of Vienna: Summer 2012 Study in Vienna, Austria
2011-10-10 17:30 | Holcombe-Norwood Hall, 151
Vienna is one of the world’s foremost centers of art, architecture and music, home to some of the greatest museum collections in the world. Now a bustling modern city, Vienna was once the capital of the Habsburg empire, the relics of its glorious past – Gothic cathedrals, Baroque palaces and churches, majestic boulevards, a range of historicist buildings, and Art Nouveau architecture – endow the city with a rich historical dimension and offer the opportunity to study several centuries of art history in one place.
Over the course of 2 weeks, we will visit many of Vienna’s great museums including the Kunsthistorische Museum, whose holding include numerous examples familiar to students from their art history survey classes, the Belevedere’s collection of Sezession artists Klimt, Schiele, and Kokoschka, the new Museumsquartier, home to several museums dedicated to modern and contemporary art, take a field trip to the Roman legionary city of Carnuntum, immerse ourselves in the Middle Ages with a visit to a fully furnished medieval fortress, see various Baroque churches, tour a Rococo palace that rivals Versailles in France, compare the historicist buildings along the Ringstrasse, and explore the complexity of fin-de-siècle Vienna as exemplified by its Art Nouveau architecture and the work of the Sezession artists.
Of course, a visit to Vienna is not complete without also partaking in the local culture, thus we will attend the opera one evening, sample the local cuisine, sip coffee at real Viennese Kaffeehaus, tour a wine cellar and sample some of its offerings.
Participants can earn up to 6 academic credit hours for this trip by registering for a variety of art and art history courses.
To learn more about this program, attend a first informational meeting on Monday, October 10 at 5:30 pm in 151 HNA or contact Michaela Merryday at 662-846-4722 or via mmerryday@deltastate.edu Dates for a second meeting will be announced.

First Tuesday: Echoes of War: Student Voices from World War II
2011-11-01 12:00 - 13:15
The Delta State University Department of Art and DSU Library and Archives will host a First Tuesday program “Echoes of War: Student Voices from World War II”. This collaborative presentation by the University Archives and the Division of Social Sciences and History will be held in the Charles W. Capps Jr. Archives and Museum Building on Tuesday, November 1 from 12:10-1:30 p.m. Reading from letters written during World War II, current students will give a voice to those students who put their college careers on hold in order to serve their country during WWII. The letters are from the Miss Virginia papers held in the University Archives and include those letters written by Miss Virginia Thompson, who served University President Dr. Kethley. Miss Virginia wrote to each student soldier, sharing news of the home front and the student soldiers wrote back to her. In celebration of the Year of the Student, this program provides insight into what being a student-soldier was like as well as little bits of information on the climate on Delta State’s campus during war years.

Announcing Auditions for the Delta Players Spring Production
2012-01-30 16:30 - 20:00 | Jobe Hall, Auditorium
Announcing Auditions
“The Liar”
by David Ives
The Liar is a modernization of a 17th Century French farce by Pierre Corneille. ALL roles are comedic—some broadly, some subtly. The challenge for the modern actor—and for our audience—is that the play is written in rhymed iambic pentameter. Comedic timing is important, but the most critical element is comfort and facility with language!
Auditions will be held on
Monday, January 30th
4:30-8pm
Jobe Hall Auditorium
***Please prepare a monologue for auditions. If you can find something in verse—Shakespeare, Moliere, or even something from The Liar—that would be great. But it is NOT required. More than anything, come to auditions ready to have a good time!
Callbacks will be on
Thursday, February 2nd 3-7pm
I will request everyone to read for specific roles at callbacks, but if you want to audition for a specific character, simply let me know. If you let me know before auditions I will keep it in mind; but please be willing to ask to read for a specific part at callbacks on Thursday, February 2nd.
ALL are welcome!

“The unimagined life’s not worth living.”

Picturing America: Reflecting Mississippi and the Delta
2012-02-03 00:00 - 2012-03-30 00:00 | Capps Archives & Museum, Main Gallery
The National Endowment for the Humanities in cooperation with the American Library Association developed "Picturing America" as a part of the We The People initiative in order to provide students across America an intellectual gateway to study and explore some of our nation’s greatest artwork. The Mississippi Humanities Council, MS Library Commission, MS Arts Commission and the MS Department of Archives and History took this project a step further by pairing images across our state to those selected for "Picturing America" to create the current exhibit. Through photographs and artwork, visitors to the exhibit will explore our regional, state and national history. As Bruce Cole, former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities states, "As I pondered great works of art, I had the first glimmerings of what would would become a lifelong pursuit: to study and understand the form, history and meaning of art." This exhibit is a balanced blend of the world of humanities.

DSU Welcomes Mose Allison Home
2012-02-15 19:30 | BPAC
Composer, poet, pianist and vocalist Mose Allison will appear in concert on Wednesday, February 15, at 7:30 p.m. in the BPAC on the Delta State campus. The concert, titled “DSU Welcomes Mose Allison Home,” is free and open to the public. Born in Tallahatchie County where he was influenced by the bluesman that lived and performed on his father’s farm, Allison has long lived in New York City. He has been a major influence on musicians over the last 50 years and has been touring for at least that long. His songs have been recorded by, among others, Van Morrison, the Rolling Stones, Diana Krall, John Mayall (with Eric Clapton) and Elvis Costello. His singular style, a unique blending of jazz and blues, and his profound lyrical wit mark him as a true American original. Paul Bernays of Artisan Pictures in the United Kingdom presented an hour-long documentary about his career, titled “Ever Since I Stole the Blues.” Allison will have a busy schedule when he comes home to Mississippi. After his performance at Delta State, he will be honored in Jackson, where the Mississippi Arts Commission will present him with a Governor’s Lifetime Achievement Award on Wednesday, February 16, at 1:00 p.m. in Wells Memorial United Methodist Church. The following day, he will be present at the Allison Mercantile Store in Tippo at 1:30 p.m. when the Mississippi Blues Commission unveils a marker on the Mississippi Blues Trail in his honor. Both the Governor’s Awards and the Mississippi Blues Trail unveiling are free and open to the public. Immediately following the unveiling ceremony all are invited to the CARE building in Charleston for a reception and short program presented by CARE. Allison’s performance at Delta State is made possible by funding from the Delta State Foundation, Delta Center for Culture and Learning, the Bologna Performing Arts Center, the Tri-State Education Foundation, the Delta State College of Arts and Sciences, and the Mississippi Arts Commission.

Tickets: (662) 846-4626
Simply Sinatra
Sunday, March 25, 2012 @ 2:00pm
Steve Lippia is among the nation’s finest interpreters of “standards” and traditional pop music. His youthful, energetic talent and powerful show is a perfect blend that appeals to long-time listeners while introducing a new generation to this timeless music. His latest program, Simply Sinatra, is a walk down memory lane celebrating the music of Ol’ Blue Eyes.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Frank Sinatra’s long-time friend Tino Barzie and his musical director Vincent Falcone thought they had stumbled on an old Sinatra recording the first time they heard Lippia’s demo tape. Since then, he has headlined engagements in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, at New York’s legendary Birdland jazz club, and performed to sold-out audiences across North America.

Moscow Festival Ballet
Wednesday, April 25, 2012 @7:30pm
With lavish costumes, a magical set, and breathtaking folkloric backgrounds, the Moscow Festival Ballet’s Cinderella is an enchanting experience that proves dreams do come true.True to the age-old fairy tale, Cinderella is the endearing story of a young girl who lives with a very bossy, unlikable Stepmother and two very vain Stepsisters. In the end, the tender hearted Cinderella finds good fortune, love and happiness through her acts of kindness. This jubilant production is the work of one of Russia’s most esteemed ballet companies– The Moscow Festival Ballet. Sergei Radchenko, legendary principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet, founded the company in 1989 to create an ensemble that would bring together the highest classical elements of the great Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies. Under his direction, leading dancers from across Russia now stage exciting new productions of timeless classics.

Connecting to Collections: The MS Digital Library
2012-04-30 10:30 - 15:30 | Capps Archives & Museum, Bibliographic Instruction Room
Connecting to Collections: The MS Digital Library workshop is offered to anyone who works with cultural collections in public libraries, universities, museums or any other institutions with collections. This workshop will give you the opportunity to learn more about how the MS Digital Library is connecting our collections to other repositories and researchers not only within our own state but across the national and around the world. Have you ever thought "There just isn’t enough time in my schedule to scan and upload information to my web page?" Or have you ever wondered how other libraries or archives develop and maintain their online resources? If you have ever grappled with questions like this, this workshop will provide not only the answers but hands-on learning to scan, create your own metadata and learn how the MS Digital Library can help you and your institution put your collections online! The MS Digital Library brings Mississippi to researchers around the world. The program provides online access to unique materials held in repositories through the state. Letters, diaries, photographs, state & organizational records, oral histories, and other primary sources provide first-hand documentation of history and a sampling of the resources available here. With funding awarded in December 2003 by the Institute of Museum & Library Services (IMLS), the MDL began as a partnership between these institutions: Delta State University, Jackson State University, The MS Department of Archives & History, Tougaloo College, The University of Mississippi, The University of Southern Mississippi. The ultimate aim of the MDL is to provide access to primary source materials from museums, archives, libraries and other institutions throughout the state, covering a wide range of subject areas.
