Darkology: When the American Dream Wore Blackface
2019-09-26 19:00 - 20:30 | Jobe Auditorium
Dr. Rhae Lynn Barnes, assistant professor of history at Princeton University, will present research from her forthcoming book, Darkology: When the American Dream Wore Blackface. Her research maps the political, economic, and cultural geography of amateur blackface minstrel shows by laying bare its unstudied bibliographic history. Marketed nationally as local entertainment, the nearly ten thousand published minstrel show plays—the bedrock of this project—are material remnants of white supremacy’s intellectual and cultural life between the Civil War and Civil Rights. This prolific and censored archive reveals the crucial role the United States government played in accelerating, funding, and disseminating blackface minstrel shows in amateur form worldwide. The project has received funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Library of Congress, the Council on Library Information Resources, the Western History Association, the Society for American Music, the Harry Ransom Center, the Rare Book School at the University of Virginia, and the Bibliographical Society of America. An interactive website will be released as a companion to the book.
This event is free and open to the DSU community and general public. Sponsors include A World Class Experience (QEP), the Division of Social Sciences and History, and the Diversity Committee.

“Delta Focus: A Spotlight on Sexual Health” is a grassroots conference for the community to consider and gain insight on topics affecting the sexual health of Black men in the Mississippi Delta and surrounding areas. This conference seeks to expand the skills and awareness of community health professionals through interactive workshops, thematic plenaries, and community listening sessions.
Delta Focus is convened by Cedric Sturdivant of the Southern AIDS Coalition, and Linda Nicole Stringfellow of F.A.B.R.I.C., Inc.—two individuals who have led dynamic and community-driven efforts to increase HIV/AIDS prevention and reduce health disparities in the Mississippi Delta region. Widener University’s Interdisciplinary Sexuality Research Collaborative and the Center for Human Sexuality Studies will work with Cedric and Linda to provide event workshop content and technical assistance.
The organizers solicit Delta State University to contribute as a presenting sponsor through an in-kind space rental. This limited engagement has the potential to provide tremendous benefit to the university community, particularly students, faculty, and staff in the humanities, nursing, and social sciences. Delta Focus will feature curated content tacks for DSU students who express an interest to engage more comprehensively with public health and sexuality themes that affect populations at societal margins. The conference organizers will arrange for logistics, including staffing and food services.

Opening Reception for Sammy Britt Retrospective

Opening Reception for Sammy Britt Retrospective
Delta State University’s Fielding Wright Art Center is proud to present a retrospective of Sammy Britt, a distinguished Mississippi artist and a long-time member of Delta State University’s faculty. In 2015, Britt was awarded the Noel Polk Lifetime Achievement Award from the Mississippi Institute of Arts and Letters and in 2017, the Mississippi Governor’s Art Award. Sammy Britt has taught painting and drawing at Delta State for 35 years, retiring in 2002 as Professor Emeritus. Britt continues to share his unique approach to painting with DSU students, offering plein air painting classes at his studio on North Bayou.
Britt, a Delta native, earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in painting from the Memphis Academy of Arts and a Master of Fine Arts Degree in painting from the University of Mississippi. In the summer of 1963, Britt took a workshop with Henry Hensche at the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Britt credits Hensche with showing him a new of seeing light and color which would become the theme that runs through all of Britt’s work. Britt explained that Hensche taught a new way of seeing and painting that contrasted sharply with the traditional tonal methods taught in art schools. Hensche compared painting to music and insisted that just as a piece of music may be written in a certain key, painters should look for the specific light key that distinguishes the time of day, the weather, or the season. Britt spent his career exploring the language of light and color and the different light keys in which they are seen. Britt claims that “In our greatest artistic moment we can merely create a weak illusion of God’s great creative genius, but that tiny glimpse of God’s beauty is more than enough to share with another soul.”
Sammy Britt’s retrospective at Delta State University brings together work created over the last sixty years documenting his various interests. What makes the exhibition particularly special is that many of the works are from his own private collection and have not been shown publicly before.
Sammy Britt’s Retrospective will run from October 3 to October 31, 2019. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, October 5th from 3:00 to 5:00 pm.

Tedeschi Trucks Band carries a distinguished reputation as one of the premier live bands performing today – and they show no signs of slowing down as they head into their ninth year together. Led by Derek Trucks’ stinging fretwork and Susan Tedeschi’s naturally stunning, emotive vocals and guitar talents, the 12-member strong collective continues to expand musical boundaries in ways that only a rare caliber of musician can achieve. The band is touring in 2019 behind their fourth studio album, Signs. Commanding performances and exceptional musical chemistry – hallmarks of the can’t-miss-concert experience fans have come to anticipate live – are evident throughout the album’s eleven original tracks. From uplifting soulful anthems, to bittersweet ballads and driving rock and roll, Tedeschi Trucks Band delivers a sound and message that taps tradition while also extending the edges of American music with a genre defying collection that is all their own.
Locally sponsored by Planters Bank and Trust Company

Creative grooming is a little hard to describe, so take a look at the pictures with this review. It’s almost like sculpting using a poodle as the material. The groomer starts with a poodle with its hair blown-out and cuts, sculpts, and dyes the poodle’s fur to create art or in most cases a diorama of Alice In Wonderland, the Little Mermaid, or Jurassic World. Whatever your brain can imagine, and your eye can see.
All screenings will be offered free to the public. There will be a preshow reception at 6:30 pm, screening at 7:00 pm and a post O&A with the filmmakers.

The winner of Broadway.com’s Audience Choice Award for Best Musical, this breathtaking smash “captures the kid-at-heart,” says TIME Magazine. Vogue cheers, “It’s a must-see you’ll remember for years to come!” Originally directed by visionary Tony®-winner Diane Paulus and based on the critically-acclaimed Academy Award® winning film, FINDING NEVERLAND tells the incredible story behind one of the world’s most beloved characters: Peter Pan.
Playwright J.M. Barrie struggles to find inspiration until he meets four young brothers and their beautiful widowed mother. Spellbound by the boys’ enchanting make-believe adventures, he sets out to write a play that will astound London theatergoers. With a little bit of pixie dust and a lot of faith, Barrie takes this monumental leap, leaving his old world behind for Neverland, where nothing is impossible and the wonder of childhood lasts forever. The magic of Barrie’s classic tale springs spectacularly to life in this heartwarming theatrical event. FINDING NEVERLAND is “far and away the best musical of the year!” (NPR).

DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S FIELDING WRIGHT ART CENTER GALLERY PRESENTS ROB MILLARD-MENDEZ: RECENT SCULPTURE
2020-02-05 08:00 - 17:00 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S FIELDING WRIGHT ART CENTER GALLERY PRESENTS ROB MILLARD-MENDEZ: RECENT SCULPTURE
Rob Millard-Mendez’s exhibition centers on intricately crafted nautically-themed sculptures. This body of work is heavily influenced by Mr. Millard-Mendez’s many experiences on boats. His father was a commercial fisherman and Mr. Millard-Mendez spent a significant amount of his early life on boats and docks. Yet, Mr. Millard-Mendez also sees boats as powerfully metaphorical and the ones in this exhibition are laden with layers of interwoven meanings. Many of his sculptures are based on themes from classical mythology which here become metaphors for contemporary events, sometimes presented with a dark sense of humor. Above all, Mr. Millard-Mendez sees his sculptures as catalysts for conversation and intellectual exchange.
Rob Millard-Mendez is a Professor of Art at the University of Southern Indiana, Evansville, IN and will conduct a workshop for DSU students while in the Delta. He has received numerous awards for his work and has an impressive exhibition record with 26 solo exhibitions and over 400 group exhibitions, most recently, his work was shown at Ronald Gallery, Portland, IN and the Sarratt Gallery, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN.
An opening reception for Rob Millard-Mendez: Recent Sculpture will be held on Thursday, January 23, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. The artist will present a gallery talk at 4:00 at the Fielding Wright Art Center gallery. The exhibition will be on view until February 20. Gallery Hours are Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. For further information visit the DSU Art Department’s website at https://www.deltastate.edu/artsandsciences/art/gallery/ or contact 662.846.4720.

Delta Focus: A Spotlight on Sexual Health
2020-02-06 08:00 - 20:00 | Ewing, Jacob Conference Center
“Delta Focus: A Spotlight on Sexual Health” is a grassroots conference for the community to consider and gain insight on topics affecting the sexual health of Black men in the Mississippi Delta and surrounding areas. This conference seeks to expand the skills and awareness of community health professionals through interactive workshops, thematic plenaries, and community listening sessions.
Delta Focus is convened by Cedric Sturdivant of the Southern AIDS Coalition, and Linda Nicole Stringfellow of F.A.B.R.I.C., Inc.—two individuals who have led dynamic and community-driven efforts to increase HIV/AIDS prevention and reduce health disparities in the Mississippi Delta region. Widener University’s Interdisciplinary Sexuality Research Collaborative and the Center for Human Sexuality Studies will work with Cedric and Linda to provide event workshop content and technical assistance.
The organizers solicit Delta State University to contribute as a presenting sponsor through an in-kind space rental. This limited engagement has the potential to provide tremendous benefit to the university community, particularly students, faculty, and staff in the humanities, nursing, and social sciences. Delta Focus will feature curated content tacks for DSU students who express an interest to engage more comprehensively with public health and sexuality themes that affect populations at societal margins. The conference organizers will arrange for logistics, including staffing and food services.

Guest Artist Recital - Dr. Todd Miller, Tenor and Dr. John Cornelius II, piano
2020-02-17 19:30 - 21:00 | BPAC, Recital Hall
On Monday, February 17, 2020 at 7:30 p.m., guest artists Dr. John Cornelius (piano) and Dr. Todd Miller (tenor) will perform a program called Songs of America – Our Diverse Musical Heritage. Dr. Cornelius has written arrangements of American folk songs for this program. Drs. Cornelius and Miller will also perform excerpts from some of Dr. Cornelius’ other works: The Yellow Rose of Texas, (large musical), a setting of French/Creole texts from New Orleans (song cycle), and excerpts from Conversion, a song cycle based on African-American Spirituals. They will also present a representative sample of works of Carlisle Floyd and Richard Faith.
Dr. John Cornelius, pianist and professor of music at Prairie View A&M University, is the proud son of an Elder in the Mississippi Conference of the United Methodist Church and a retired educator. A native of Jackson, Dr. Cornelius graduated from Murrah High School in 1984, and his immediate family continues to reside in Jackson. He began his musical career by playing piano in churches in Carthage, Ofahoma, Canton, and Jackson. His great-grandfather, from Bolton, Mississippi, was the first Black postman in the state, and his great-grandmother was a Methodist circuit rider based in Canton and Pelahatchie. Dr. Cornelius went on to receive the degree of Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from Jackson State University and the Master of Music in Piano Performance from Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Cornelius would later receive a second Master of Music and the Doctor of Musical Arts from Rice University, both in composition. His teacher at Rice was Mississippi native Samuel Jones.
Dr. Cornelius has been music director, composer, and arranger for several theatre companies in the Houston, Texas area, including the Ensemble Theatre of Houston, Main Street Theatre, and Theatre Under the Stars. He has received two commissions from the Smithsonian Institute: one for a work about the lives and careers of Jesse Owens and Wilma Rudolph titled “Going the Distance”; and one for “Black Diamond,” a musico-theatrical work about the Negro Baseball Leagues.
Dr. Cornelius has written a number of compositions exploring the legacy of the African-American spiritual: “Lis’en to de Lam’s” for soprano duet and piano; “Three Spirituals for Tenor and Strings”; “My Kinfolks Got Wings” for woodwind quintet; and “Conversion” for Tenor and chamber ensemble. His most recent works include “Chansons Creoles,” a song cycle whose text is by gens de colour of 19th-century Louisiana; Sonata of Attitudes for 2 Horns and Piano; The Kashmere Cycle, a song cycle commissioned by Houston Grand Opera’s HGOCo; What Wings They Were, a commission from HGOCo; and Fulfilled, a Passion Week cantata; and a Magnificat, Mary’s Song of Joy for First Presbyterian Church of Kingwood, TX.
Joining Dr. Cornelius is tenor and conductor Dr. Todd Miller. Dr. Miller has become a fixture in the Houston, Texas musical community. He is the founding member of the music department at Lone Star College in Kingwood, Texas, having grown the department to 70 music majors and 25 faculty. As a conductor, Dr. Miller directs three ensembles: The Kingwood Chorale and Chamber Orchestra, The Concert Choir, and the chamber choir called Evōk (Eclectic Voices of Kingwood). LSC-Kingwood’s choirs have performed all over the world, from Carnegie Hall to England, Scotland, French Canada and the United States. They have also served as the back-up choir for Josh Groban and Sarah Brightman on tour stops in Houston.
As a solo performer, Dr. Miller’s recent performances include a leading role in “Two Cells in Sevilla” a chamber opera by German composer Walter Steffens. “Two Cells” premiered at the Round Top Theater Forum and was later released on Parma Records. Other solo highlights include Messiah with the Houston Chamber Choir, the Beethoven Mass in C with the Houston Choral Society, Mendelssohn’s St. Paul with the Houston Symphony and Haydn’s Creation with The Woodlands Chorale and Orchestra. He also has performed twice in Carnegie Hall, including an all-American program that featured several premieres.
Dr. Miller holds the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in voice performance and conducting from the University of Houston. He also holds vocal performance degrees from the University of Louisville and the University of Arizona. He lives in Kingwood with his wife and Mississippi native Lori (née Red) and has two sons.

Ellen Ann Fentress: The Academy Stories
2020-02-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Baioni Conference Center, Broom Hall
Ellen Ann Fentress, a Jackson-based journalist, author, and filmmaker, will hold a panel discussion about her latest project, The Academy Stories. In the 1970s, court-ordered public school desegregation transformed the Deep South’s classrooms, stadiums, and teachers’ lounges into America’s most integrated spaces, at least for a while. The Supreme Court called for an end to the region’s nearly two decades of post-1954 Brown v. Board of Education stonewalling. Racial history shifted in one sweep. Black and white, children and educators, lives changed. Old patterns shattered. The transformation, wrapped in historic moral purpose, affected over 11 million children. In its first three months, The Academy Stories will be publishing first-person accounts from academy alumni of the 1970s and 1980s. (By the 1990s, a number of academies had closed, while others had begun to admit a few black students.) The accounts will stand as primary documents of history; this initial effort is funded by the Mississippi Humanities Council. In future cycles, the project will look at how the Deep South academy movement continues to shape society today.

Mossville: When Great Trees Fell - The Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers
2020-03-03 18:30 - 20:30 | BPAC, Delta & Pine Land Theater
Mossville: When Great Trees Fall
“Welcome to beautiful downtown Mossville,” Stacey Ryan says wryly. “Population: one.” At one time, Mossville, Louisiana, was a thriving, self-sufficient, historically black community, teeming with gardens, grand fruit trees, and families. But since petrochemical industries started snatching up affordable real estate nearby, the community has begun to wither. Ryan’s neighbors begin to leave—at first one by one, then in droves—but he boldly refuses to budge. Soon he finds himself all alone. Surrounded by a smoldering, hellish industrial wasteland that has gobbled up Mossville’s once bucolic neighborhoods, he is cut off from power, supplies, and community. But Ryan stands his ground, even while living rough in his own home. This story of one man’s valiant resistance is at once intimately personal and vast in scope, exposing the links between race and environmental injustice, not just in the U.S. but across the globe.
All screenings will be offered free to the public. There will be a preshow reception at 6:30 pm, screening at 7:00 pm and a post O&A with the filmmakers.

An Accoustic Evening with Mark Chesnutt & Joe Diffie
2020-03-05 19:30 - 21:30 | BPAC, Delta & Pine Land Theater
Mark Chesnutt is one of Country’s true musical treasures. Critics have hailed him as a classic Country singer of the first order and some of Country music’s most elite entertainers from George Jones to George Strait echo this sentiment. Mark Chesnutt’s stature is easily gauged; he has 14 No. 1 hits, 23 top ten singles, four platinum albums and five gold records. If you ask Mark Chesnutt he’ll tell you, it’s the music that has kept me around this long. In a world that sometimes confuses style with substance, Mark Chesnutt possesses both. Remaining true to himself as a traditional country artist while still keeping up with the ever-changing country landscape.
With chart-toppers like “Pickup Man,” “Third Rock from the Sun,” and “John Deere Green,” and 13 albums and over 20 Top 10 singles to his credit, Joe Diffie has little to prove at this point in his career, yet he still has a fire in his belly to make good country music. A renowned songwriter in his own right, Joe has hits for artists like Tim McGraw, Conway Twitty, and Jo Dee Messina to his credit.
Tickets to see Mark Chesnutt & Joe Diffie are now on sale at www.bolognapac.com or at the BPAC Ticket Office at 662.846.4626

DSU Annual Faculty Exhibition
2020-10-01 - 2020-10-28 | Fielding Wright Art Center Gallery
DSU ANNUAL FACULTY EXHIBITION
DOWNTOWN, CLEVELAND
OCTOBER 1 THROUGH 28
Every fall Delta State University’s Art Department puts on an exhibition showcasing work produced by its faculty. DSU’s art faculty are practicing artists and designers who regularly exhibit in venues across the nation and the annual faculty exhibition offers the department an opportunity to share work created by these artists over the past year with its students, the campus, and the community. Due to the ongoing pandemic, all campus events have been canceled this fall. To keep the tradition alive and to show our appreciation for the support of the Cleveland community, the art department partnered with the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce and will display their artwork in shop windows along Cotton Row and N Sharpe Ave this year. The public can view the work safely from the street while running errands or enjoying an evening stroll downtown. The exhibition will run from October 1 to October 28.
The art department wants to thank all the businesses who have made this event possible. Sponsoring businesses are Abraham’s, Balance Fitness, Blush Salon, Cleveland Fresh, Cotton Row Bookstore, Delta Dairy, Food Fix, H Squared, Heidi’s, KAT, and Rosson Co.
Participating artists are Jesse Ryan Brown, Do Kim, Ted Fisher, Ky Johnston, Michaela Merryday, Cetin Oguz, Nathan Pietrykowski, Kayla Selby, Mansoor Shams, Michael Stanley, and Robyn Wall.
For more information about events organized by the DSU art department, please contact the Art Department at 662-846-4720. Join our email list to receive regular updates on upcoming events or follow us on Facebook.

Code of the Freaks (FREE - Virtual Film)
2021-02-21 - 2021-02-24 | BPAC Main Stage
Code of the Freaks
Using hundreds of clips spanning over 100 years of moviemaking, and a cast of disabled artists, scholars and activists, it’s a scorching critique of some of Hollywood’s most beloved characters. This revelatory documentary investigates the power of movie imagery to shape the beliefs and behaviors of the general public toward disabled people, and of disabled people toward themselves. Drawing its title from a line from Tod Browning’s notorious 1932 film, Freaks, Code of the Freaks debunks well-worn tropes – the miracle cure, the blind guy driving a car, the magical little people, the face-feelers, the sexless, the better off dead – and brings an entirely fresh perspective. It dares to imagine a cinematic landscape that centers the voices of disabled people.
Code of the Freaks presents a radical reframing of the use of disabled characters in film.
Screening and per-recorded conversaton with Director, Producer Salome Chasnoff.
Southern Circuit screenings are funded in part by a grant from South Arts, a regional arts organization, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. For more information about Southern Circuit and South Arts please visit www.southarts.org.

PICTURE CHARACTER an Emoji Documentary
2021-03-14 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
The Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC) is proud to present PICTURE CHARACTER, as a free virtual screening that will be available for a four-day viewing period: March 4-17. Once the film is unlocked, viewers will have 24 hours to finish watching their film. “We are pleased to offer extended viewing periods for the Southern Circuit documentaries this spring. The films explore a variety of topics, and we think our community will find them informing” said Laura Howell, Executive Director of the BPAC. Please visit www.bolognapac.com for more details and to register for free.
PICTURE CHARACTER is an Emoji Documentary. The rapid rise of emoji (Japanese for “picture character”) is a global phenomenon without precedent. Their widespread use and ability to convey complex messages have not only cemented emoji’s place as an emerging digital language, but prompted difficult questions about the creation of a language and digital communication’s fraught ties to identity and inclusion. In PICTURE CHARACTER, Directors Martha Shane and Ian Cheney lead viewers on a deep dive into the ever-evolving world of picture characters, from their humble beginnings in Japan to mobile keyboards the world over, and shed fresh light on the private consortium that approves new emoji offerings and the individuals fighting to make the language more representative of its billions of users. The screening will be followed by a prerecorded conversation with Co-directors Ian Cheney & Martha Shane.
This film is part of the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers. Southern Circuit screenings are funded in part by a grant from South Arts, a regional arts organization, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.
The last free screening that is part of the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers will be Narrowsburg April 11 – 14, 2021.Ten years in the making, Narrowsburg catches up with the couple behind the scheme to turn a tinny town into the “Sundance of the East” and its residents who have had to come to terms with falling victim to the allure and romance of filmmaking. The screening will be followed by a pre-recorded conversation with Director, Producer Martha Shane.
Registration is free to all Southern Circuit films, and all film screenings are followed by a prerecorded conversation with the filmmakers.

BPAC Offers Free Screening of Film Narrowsburg (Virtual Screening)
2021-04-11 | Virtual
The Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC) is proud to present Narrowsburg, as a free virtual screening that will be available for a four-day viewing period: April 11-14. Once the film is unlocked, viewers will have 24 hours to finish watching their film. “We are pleased to offer extended viewing periods for the Southern Circuit documentaries this spring. The films explore a variety of topics, and we think our community will find them informing” said Laura Howell, Executive Director of the BPAC. Please visit www.bolognapac.com for more details and to register for free.
The last free screening that is part of the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers will be Narrowsburg April 11 – 14, 2021. After a successful first year, festival co-founders Jocelyn Plante and Richard Castellano announced that they would produce a locally made film using residents in supporting roles and, eventually, as a source of funding. Excited locals and investors attended the second festival expecting to see a rough cut of the feature-length film, Four Deadly Reasons, but what they got was 15 minutes of poorly-made footage. Even worse, all of the local actors apparently ended up on the cutting room floor. By the time the screening was over, Plante and Castellano had already skipped town. Ten years in the making, Narrowsburg catches up with the couple behind the debacle and residents of the town who have had to come to terms with falling victim to a scam through the allure and romance of filmmaking. The screening will be followed by a pre-recorded conversation with Director, Producer Martha Shane.
This film is part of the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers. Southern Circuit screenings are funded in part by a grant from South Arts, a regional arts organization, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.

Clay Walker
2021-06-10 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Clay Walker will perform live in concert on Thursday, June 10 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC) at Delta State University. Tickets are on sale at the BPAC Ticket Office, by phone 662-846-4626, or online www.bolognapac.com. Can Clay Walker deliver? That’s the question, and he’s not afraid of it. In fact, he’s positioned himself to answer it squarely – one way or another – this year. With new creative and business teams and a deep well of hard-earned wisdom, Walker relishes the challenge. “I’ve prepared myself for this moment in my career – mentally, physically and artistically,” he says. “I’ve never been more ready.”
In a sense, the question is absurd for a recording artist, songwriter and entertainer with four platinum albums and a dozen No. 1 hits to his credit, Walker has been embracing the evolution of the genre and working with many of country music’s top songwriters. No slouch in that department himself, the native Texan has written or co-written many of his biggest hits including “Live Until I Die,” “Rumor Has It” and “I Can’t Sleep.”
Walker, for one, is not complaining. He’s embracing … by working with many of the format’s top songwriters. “The style at radio right now is unique, but these writers really do approach it just like great writers from the past. When they get the hook, they try to point every line to that idea. That’s just great writing, and great writing never changes. Through this process I’ve found I absolutely can fit into this format. I can have a hell of a lot more hits.”
Often overlooked in Walker’s career has been the balance he’s had between writing his own material – much of it solo, including many of his biggest hits – and recording undeniable songs from outside writers. “As much as I love writing and would love to write every song, it’s not a smart move in most cases for an artist to write every song they record,” he says. “Let the music lead – get the better songs, however they come.”
Walker signed with TKO Artist Management last year, and with Toby Keith’s Show Dog Nashville record label. With new creative and business teams, Walker readies for his 12th studio album. For more information, visit claywalker.com.
Tickets to see Clay Walker tickets are on sale at www.bolognapac.com or at the BPAC Ticket Office at 662.846.4626. Masks are to be worn at all times as required by Delta State University.

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Raya and the Last Dragon travels to the fantasy world of Kumandra, where humans and dragons lived together in harmony long ago. But when an evil force threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity. Now, 500 years later, that same evil has returned and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the legendary last dragon to restore the fractured land and its divided people. However, along her journey, she’ll learn that it’ll take more than a dragon to save the world—it’s going to take trust and teamwork as well. Raya and the Last Dragon features the voices of Kelly Marie Tran as Raya, a warrior whose wit is as sharp as her blade, and Awkwafina as the magical, mythical, self-deprecating dragon named Sisu. Characters also include a street-savvy 10-year-old entrepreneur named Boun, the formidable giant Tong and a thieving toddler Noi with her band of Ongis.

The Marshall Tucker Band
2021-07-01 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
The Marshall Tucker Band will perform live in concert on Thursday, July 1 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC) at Delta State University. Tickets are on sale at the BPAC Ticket Office, by phone 662-846-4626, or online www.bolognapac.com
The Marshall Tucker Band came together as a young, hungry, and quite driven six-piece outfit in Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1972, having duly baptized themselves with the name of a blind piano tuner after they found it inscribed on a key to their original rehearsal space — and they’ve been in tune with tearing it up on live stages both big and small all across the globe ever since. Indeed, the secret ingredient to the ongoing success of The Marshall Tucker Band can be found within a cauldron of musical styles that mixes together equal parts rock, blues, jazz, country, soul, and bluegrass.
Whenever you drop that proverbial quarter into the virtual jukebox of songs that always manage to reach down and touch your soul the exact moment you cue them up, you inevitably find certain artists have a deeper resonance than others when it comes to providing the soundtrack that mirrors the highs and lows of your own life.
The Marshall Tucker Band is one such group that continues to have a profound level of impact on successive generations of listeners who’ve been searchin’ for a rainbow and found it perfectly represented by this tried-and-true Southern institution for over five decades. “I’ve been in tune with how music can make you feel, right from when I was first in the crib,” observes lead vocalist and bandleader Doug Gray, who’s been fronting the MTB since the very beginning. “I was born with that. And I realized it early on, back when I was a little kid and my mom and dad encouraged me to get up there and sing whatever song came on the jukebox. It got to the point where people were listening to me more than what was on the jukebox! There’s a certain frequency I found I could share, whether I was in front of five people or 20,000 people. And once that frequency is there, everybody will listen.”
Tickets to see The Marshall Tucker Band tickets are on sale at www.bolognapac.com or at the BPAC Ticket Office at 662.846.4626.

What is it that makes you…YOU? Pixar Animation Studios’ all-new feature film SOUL introduces Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx) – a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. But one small misstep takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a fantastical place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests before they go to Earth. Determined to return to his life, Joe teams up with a precocious soul, 22 (voice of Tina Fey), who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. As Joe desperately tries to show 22 what’s great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions. Directed by Academy Award® winner Pete Docter (“Inside Out,” “Up”), co-directed by Kemp Powers (“One Night in Miami”), written by Kemp Powers & Mike Jones, and produced by Academy Award nominee Dana Murray (Pixar short “Lou”), SOUL also stars the voice talents of Phylicia Rashad, Questlove and Daveed Diggs. It features original jazz music by globally renowned musician Jon Batiste, and Oscar® winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (“The Social Network”), from Nine Inch Nails, composed an original score that drifts between the real and soul worlds.

Late to the session, the fearless, fiery Ma engages in a battle of wills with her white manager and producer over control of her music. As the band waits in the studio’s claustrophobic rehearsal room, ambitious cornet player Levee (Chadwick Boseman) — who has an eye for Ma’s girlfriend and is determined to stake his own claim on the music industry — spurs his fellow musicians into an eruption of stories revealing truths that will forever change the course of their lives.”

The North Mississippi Allstars and Rebirth Brass Band, along with special guest Cedric Burnside, will perform live in concert Thursday, September 30, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC) at Delta State University as part of the national Shake & Holla tour. The concert is locally sponsored by the International Conference on the Blues.
Shake & Holla is a brand-new tour that showcases foot-stomping Mississippi “hill country” blues and the funky, syncopated sounds of New Orleans brass. Touring together for the first time ever, the Grammy-nominated and Blues Music Award-winning North Mississippi Allstars will be joined by the legendary Rebirth Brass Band in a musical celebration of two great southern musical traditions.
Steeped deeply in their own traditions, both artists also are part of the vanguard of blues and soul music. Appearing with them on this tour is blues guitarist, vocalist, and drummer Cedric Burnside, a Grammy- nominated artist in his own right, as well as the grandson of legendary Fat Possum recording artist RL Burnside. For one special night, these three artists will be playing their own favorite selections as well as collaborating through the show on an array of great songs, exploring the musical connection between the Mississippi Delta on Bourbon Street…right down Highway 61.
Tickets start at $25.00 and are on sale at the BPAC Ticket Office, by phone 662-846-4626 or online www.bolognapac.com.

"Voices from the Sit-In" Film Premiere
2021-10-04 18:00 - 20:00 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Voices-from-the-Sit-in_11x17

VOICES FROM THE SIT-IN is the true story of a protest, told by those who lived it. Delta State University, in Cleveland, Mississippi, was segregated from 1925 to 1965. The school enrolled its first Black students in 1966. These first students struggled for recognition, for inclusion, and for fair treatment. By the Spring of 1969, as tensions rose, Delta State’s Black students organized a series of actions and protests. These actions culminated in the quickly-escalating events of Monday, March 10, 1969. In VOICES FROM THE SIT-IN, the forgotten history of this moment is revealed. We meet some of the original students involved and relive the tense experience of a significant moment in the Civil Rights movement, exploring history almost unknown to students today. VOICES FROM THE SIT-IN features protesters Maggie Daily Crawford, Mary Carter, Talmadge Davis Jr., and Muriel McCraney Lucas; 1969 student government association president James W. Powers; Delta State professors Georgene Clark and Dr. Charles Westmoreland; and current student Sykina Butts, who has been recording an oral history of the participants’ stories.
Filmed by current Delta State students, this 27-minute documentary brings to life an important story through lived experiences recalled across five decades.
Featuring protesters Maggie Daily Crawford, Mary Carter, Talmadge Davis, & Muriel McCraney Lucas; 1968-1969 Student Government Association President James W. Powers; Delta State professors Georgene Clark & Dr. Charles Westmoreland; & current student Sykina Butts.
FREE and open to the public. Contact Michelle Johansen at mjohansen@deltastate.edu for more information.

Gay Faulkner Lecture and Book Signing
2021-10-05 18:00 - 19:30 | Jobe Hall, Auditorium
Phillip Gordon will be on campus to discuss his most recent book from the University Press of Mississippi Gay Faulkner: Uncovering a Homosexual Presence in Yoknapatawpha and Beyond (UMP 2021). The event is part of the Division of Languages and Literature Annual Lecture Series and coincides with DSU’s annual LGBTQIA+ pride celebration—Okra Out Front.
The life and works of William Faulkner have generated numerous biographical studies exploring how Faulkner understood southern history, race, his relationship to art, and his place in the canons of American and world literature. However, some details on Faulkner’s life collected by his early biographers never made it into published form or, when they did, appeared in marginalized stories and cryptic references. The biographical record of William Faulkner’s life has yet to come to terms with the life-long friendships he maintained with gay men, the extent to which he immersed himself into gay communities in Greenwich Village and New Orleans, and how profoundly this part of his life influenced his “apocryphal” creation of Yoknapatawpha County.
Gay Faulkner: Uncovering a Homosexual Presence in Yoknapatawpha and Beyond explores the intimate friendships Faulkner maintained with gay men, among them Ben Wasson, William Spratling, and Hubert Creekmore, and places his fiction into established canons of LGBTQ literature, including World War I literature and representations of homosexuality from the Cold War. The book offers a full consideration of his relationship to gay history and identity in the twentieth century, giving rise to a new understanding of this most important of American authors.
Phillip Gordon is assistant professor of English and gay studies coordinator at University of Wisconsin-Platteville. He was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and grew up just north of Faulkner’s fictional Yoknapatawpha County.

Not Going Quietly
2021-10-09 00:00 - 23:59 | BPAC
After a video of a confrontation with a U.S. senator went viral, Ady Barkan was more determined than ever to advocate for healthcare justice—even if it’s the last thing he does. On October 10-13, Bologna Performing Arts Center will host an exclusive online screening of the film Not Going Quietly which documents Barkan’s political activism after a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The film will be followed by a conversation with filmmakers Nicholas Bruckman and Amanda Roddy who will discuss their film and the filmmaking process.
A 33-year-old father battling ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, Ady Barkan had a captive audience in Senator Jeff Flake on a flight to Phoenix in 2017. Concerned about the impact on healthcare of a tax bill about to go up for a vote, he asked Senator Flake, “What would you tell my son if you pass this bill and he cuts funding for disability and I can’t get a ventilator?” Barkan catapulted to national awareness after the confrontation but few know what happened following that event. Not Going Quietly earnestly documents Barkan’s tireless advocacy for healthcare reform as he comes to terms with his illness. A fascinating look into 21st Century activism, Barkin never loses his sense of purpose and continues to find a way to be effective despite his decreasing motor functions and losing the ability to speak.
Director Nicholas Bruckman previously produced the feature film Valley of Saints, which won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for an Independent Spirit award in 2012. Bruckman’s work has received support from foundations including the Fledgling Fund, Cinereach, NYSCA, NYFA, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. He is the founder of People’s Television, an original content company based in New York City and Washington, D.C.
Producer Amanda Roddy is an award-winning documentary filmmaker with People’s Television. She has led projects as a director, producer, and writer for clients such as the Democratic National Convention, Covergirl, Elizabeth Warren’s presidential Campaign, Equal Justice Works, The Nature Conservancy, and The Equity Fund. Her work has been supported by the International Documentary Association, Rooftop Films, Film Independent, IFP, and HBO.
Not Going Quietly will be presented online and attendees can view it on demand any time between October 10-13. Admission to the screening is FREE which includes a conversation with the filmmakers following the film. Tickets are available at www.bolognapac.com for more details and to register for free.
This event is made possible through the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers, a South Arts program. Since its inception in 1975, Southern Circuit has brought some of best independent filmmakers and their films from around the country to communities throughout the South. The program is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.

DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S ART DEPARTMENT PRESENTS RECENT PAINTINGS BY DSU ALUMNUS TOMMY GOODMAN
Delta State University’s Art Department is proud to present an exhibition of recent paintings by an alumnus of its program, Tommy Goodman. Tommy Goodman is a painter and retired architect based in Carrollton, MS. Mr. Goodman graduated from DSU with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1968. He taught art at St. Andrews Episcopal Day School in Jackson for a few years before returning to school to pursue a degree in architecture at Auburn University, Auburn, AL. Mr. Goodman went on to build a successful career in architecture working as architect and design principle with architecture firms in Jackson, MS and Birmingham, AL. His projects earned numerous regional, national, and international awards. After retiring from his architectural practice, Mr. Goodman taught art and architecture as an adjunct professor at Mississippi State University. He still serves as consultant for historic restoration projects, but since 2009 he has dedicated himself fully to his painting practice. He recently published a book surveying his paintings titled Delta Artist Tommy Goodman: Painter/Architect.
Mr. Goodman creates abstract paintings and large-scale landscapes inspired by the Mississippi Delta. He explains that “Growing up in the Mississippi Delta, I have always been intrigued by the haunting horizontal vastness and variety in Delta panoramas, particularly the skies. As I paint from memory and past observations, the completed image is always an abstraction of the original experience.” His landscapes paintings done in acrylic on paper offer sweeping panoramic views of the Delta. The unusual format of these landscapes recalls the work of 19th-century American landscapists such as Jasper F. Cropsey and George Inness but also betray Mr. Goodman’s background as an architect.
An opening reception for Mr. Goodman’s exhibition will be held on Thursday, November 4 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. The opening reception is free and open to the public.
Recent Paintings by Tommy Goodman will be on view at DSU’s Fielding Wright Art Center from November 4th to December 2nd. The gallery is open Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The gallery is closed on weekends, holidays, and during semester breaks. Masks are required in all DSU facilities.

Country Music Band Lonestar Performs Live at the Bologna Performing Arts Center Tickets on Sale!
2021-11-04 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Country Music’s award-winning band, Lonestar will perform on Thursday, November 4, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC) at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi. The concert is locally sponsored by Robinson Electric.
Not every musician has the opportunity to revisit and even potentially improve upon their biggest hits. But on the forthcoming TEN to 1 record, the award-winning band Lonestar—Dean Sams (keyboards, acoustic guitar, background vocals), Michael Britt (lead guitarist, background vocals), Keech Rainwater (drums) and Drew Womack (lead vocals, guitar)—are taking a fresh look at all 10 of their chart-topping country songs. This streak started in 1996 with the band’s second single, the rock-edged “No News,” and continued with the following year’s “Come Cryin’ to Me” and “Everything’s Changed.” The band’s quadruple-platinum 1999 album Lonely Grill spawned four No. 1 hits (including the beloved global smash “Amazed”) and established Lonestar as music’s preeminent pop-country band—a status they’d maintain through the 2000s and beyond.
With these re-recordings, the band members were mindful of striking a balance between preserving the sonic elements fans were familiar with—and not repeating them. Fittingly, TEN to 1 record reflects the ways Lonestar’s hits have evolved over the years during the band’s rousing, high-energy concerts. Such talent has contributed to the band winning many of music’s top honors, including Academy Of Country Music awards for New Vocal Group in 1996, Single and Song Of The Year in 2000, along with Humanitarian Of The Year in 2002. They also won Country Music Association’s Vocal Group of the Year and International Artist Achievement award in 2001. All told, Lonestar have sold more than 10.5 million records since their formation.
Tickets to Lonestar are on sale now and can be purchased at www.bolognapac.com or at the BPAC Ticket Office at 662.846.4626.

Duty Free (Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers)
2021-11-07 00:00 - 23:59 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
— Called “A tender love poem from son to mother” by CBS News, Duty Free examines ageism, the care crisis, and economic insecurity in America. On November 7 – 10, Bologna Performing Arts Center will host an exclusive online screening of the documentary followed by a conversation with Director Sian-Pierre Regis who will discuss the film and the filmmaking process.
Rebecca worked and sacrificed for years to give her sons every opportunity. At the age of 75, she was fired without cause from her job as a hotel housekeeper and left with no means to support herself. As she struggled to find work, her son, Sian-Pierre Regis, documented a journey that uncovered the economic insecurity shaping not only her future, but that of an entire generation. But Rebecca is no frail granny ready to give up on life. At Regis’ urging, she made a bucket list which included expected items such as travel to exotic locations as well as the unexpected like “milk a cow” and “take a hip-hop lesson.” As their resulting adventures gained attention, Rebecca shared her message with the public. “You have one chance at life,” she says, “For God’s sake, live it the way that makes you comfortable. It doesn’t matter what anybody else thinks. This is your life.”
Sian-Pierre Regis is an award-winning journalist, on-camera personality, and cultural critic with a love for both pop-culture and social responsibility. He was a Firelight Media Fellow (2018-2020) and a Film Independent Documentary Fellow (2019). Regis has been a contributor for CNN, HLN, MTV and CBS, covering stories of youth political activism and pop-culture.
Duty Free will be presented online and attendees can view it on demand any time between November 7 – 10. Admission to the screening is FREE which includes a conversation with the filmmakers following the film. Tickets are available at https://watch.eventive.org/southerncircuit/play/611c101990e753032305d5c7
This event is made possible through the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers, a South Arts program. Since its inception in 1975, Southern Circuit has brought some of best independent filmmakers and their films from around the country to communities throughout the South. The program is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Ephrat Asherie Dance
2021-11-18 19:30 - 21:30 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Odeon, an original dance work for six dancers and four musicians, is the second collabroation between sister and brother team Ephrat and Ehud Asherie (choreographer and musical director, respectively). Set to the music of fin-de-siecle Brizilian composer Ernesto Nazareth, known for mixing early 20th-century romantic music with samba and other popular Aro-Brazilian rhythms, this work takes a hybrid approach to movement. Odeon delves into what happens when you bring together parts of the extended family of street and club dancers – including breaking, hip-hop, house, and vouge – remix them, pick them apart and challenge them to inhabit unfamiliar spatial and choreographic contexts.
Ephrat “Bounce’ Asherie. a 2016 Bessie Award winner for Innovative Achievement in Dance, creates work for the dynamic group of multifaceted dancers in her company Ephrat Asherie Dance (EAD). Embodying many different African American and Latinx vernacular dances, including breaking, hip hop, house and vogue, EAD is dedicated to exploring the inherently complex and dynamic qualities of these forms – Asherie’s “movement phrases – compact bursts of choreography with rapid-fire changes in rhythm and gestural articulation – bubble up and dissipate, quickly paving the way for something new”(New Your Times).
This performance is funded in part by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Mississippi Arts Commission.

Katrina Majkut: In Control
2022-01-18 08:00 - 17:00 | Feilding L. Wright Art Building
DELTA STATE UNIVERSITY’S ART DEPARTMENT PRESENTS IN CONTROL, AN EXHIBIITON OF EMBOIDERED WORK BY KATRINA MAJKUT
Katrina Majkut is an artist who investigates how social traditions impact civic rights. The ongoing series In Control which she began in 2009 consists of embroidered renditions of products related to women’s reproductive health. The work and her choice of medium are intended to raise questions about who has authority over women’s bodies and choices. According to the artist, “Historically, embroidery prepared women for marriage. Samplers represented domestic skill levels and specific cultural and religious values to potential husbands who sought a woman with the right skills to establish a household – make clothes, darn socks. Cross-stitch was used to advertise and represent womanhood, wifedom and motherhood but bodily functions, autonomy and diverse lifestyles was not part of this textile practice. The ‘domestic craft’ of In Control attempts to counter this by attempting to stitch all products related to women’s health and needs with a fully comprehensive, bipartisan, educational and medically honest approach.”
Katrina Majkut was listed as one of four international artists starting a new chapter in feminist art by Mic Media and highlighted as a must-see artist by Hyperallergic. You can view more of her artwork at katrinamajkut.format.com. Majkut organized an Instagram art takeover for Planned Parenthood, exhibited at Spring Break, A.I.R. Gallery, Victori + Mo Gallery, CUNY College of Staten Island, Babson College, the Mint Museum, and was an artist in residence at MASS MoCA. Majkut published her first non-fiction book in 2018, The Adventures and Discoveries of A Feminist Bride (Black Rose Writing), which aims to make weddings more egalitarian. Her art catalogue is in the library at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, D.C.
In Control will be on view at DSU’s Fielding Wright Art Center from January 13 to February 17. Due to the rising Covid-19 cases, we will forgo an opening reception, however, the artists will discuss their work and take questions via Zoom on Thursday, January 13 at 4:00 pm. Check the art department’s website or email mmerryday@deltastate.edu for a link. The gallery is open Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The gallery is closed on weekends, holidays, and during semester breaks. Masks are required in all DSU facilities.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day and National Day of Racial Healing Lunch
2022-01-18 12:15 - 13:30 | 2nd Floor East Lobby Student Union
DSU will commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day and participate in the National Day of Racial Healing with a special lunch for DSU students. Students are invited to attend this event and bring a friend. This event is free and open for DSU students.
The National Day of Racial Healing (NDORH) is an opportunity for people, organizations and communities across the United States to call for racial healing, bring people together in their common humanity and take collective action to create a more just and equitable world.
January 18, 2022, will be the sixth annual National Day of Racial Healing. The day was established in 2017 by more than 550 leaders from around the United States who wanted to set aside a day to take action together.
What is Racial Healing?
Racial healing is a process that restores individuals and communities to wholeness, repairs the damage caused by racism and transforms societal structures into ones that affirm the inherent value of all people. It makes it possible to acknowledge and speak the truth about past wrongs created by individual and systemic racism and to address present-day consequences for people, communities and institutions.
Racial healing can facilitate trust and build authentic relationships that bridge divides created by real and perceived differences. We believe it is essential to pursue racial healing prior to making change in a community. Because, before you can transform systems and structures, you must start with people first.
Students can sign up for the lunch here: https://forms.gle/PPfogXB7kaEtNRB18

"Being Black" Musical Performance by Dr. Joe Moore III
2022-02-03 18:00 - 20:00 | Jobe Hall, Auditorium
Joe W. Moore III currently serves as Assistant Professor of Music – Percussion at the University of Louisiana Monroe where he oversees all aspects of the percussion studies program. Prior to this he served on music faculties at Benedict College, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, and the University of Texas at Brownsville. Moore earned a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Central Florida, a Master of Music degree from the University of South Carolina, and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree with a minor in composition from Louisiana State University.

The fact that everyone can relate to her comedy has made her a hit even among the strangest of audiences.
While performing in San Antonio she was asked to appeared in Las Vegas Comedy Festival and shortly thereafter appeared on ABC’s The View in a hilarious housewife segment. Leanne appeared as a finalist on Nick at Nite’s Funniest Mom and toured three years the Southern Fried Chicks. She has appeared in comedy clubs, performing arts centers, and theaters all over the United States. She had a contract with Warner Brothers and ABC to develop a sitcom based on her comedy and also collaborated with legendary writer/producer Matt Williams (“Roseanne,” “Home Improvement”) on a half-hour comedy project.
She counts as her celebrity fans, Dr. Phil and Paula Deen. She has appeared on both their shows. Leanne and fellow comic Reno Collier recently co-hosted Chewing the Fat, a weekly radio show on Sirius XM/Blue Collar Radio and her comedy is in rotation every day on Sirius comedy channels. She has a comedy special currently streaming on VidAngle called “So Yummy” and her videos on Dry Bar Comedy have gotten more than 50 million views and growing! She has a podcast called Sweaty and Pissed….Menopause and More.

Lily Topples the World - Southern Circuit Film
2022-04-13 19:00 - 21:00 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
LILY TOPPLES THE WORLD follows 20-year-old sensation Lily Hevesh – the world’s most acclaimed domino toppler and the only girl in her field – as she rises as an artist, role model, and young woman. Filmed for over 3 years across countless cities and featuring appearances by Jimmy Fallon, Katy Perry, Will Smith, YouTuber Casey Neistat, and a steady stream of Gen-Z creators, LILY TOPPLES THE WORLD is a coming-of-age story cloaked within a unique portrait of an artist, a story of how passion and artistry can make dreams come true, and an unlikely American tale of a quiet Chinese adoptee who transforms into a global artistic force with over 1 billion YouTube views. From director Jeremy Workman (The World Before Your Feet) and from executive producer Kelly Marie Tran (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), in her first film in a producing role.
Run time 90 minutes. FREE SCREENING! TICKETS NOT REQUIRED.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT – Sometime in 2017, I became transfixed by domino toppling videos. There seemed to be a thriving community of incredibly talented Gen-Z artists who had formed a unique community on YouTube creating mind-blowing domino toppling art. When I dug a little deeper, I began noticing that all roads seemed to lead to this one teenage girl with an oddly-named YouTube channel called “Hevesh5.” The Hevesh5 channel had the most beautiful domino art, the most impressive videos, and by far the most YouTube views. I quickly discovered that it was the channel of a young Asian-American teenager named Lily Hevesh. She had nearly 2 million subscribers, and her domino videos had been seen almost a billion times in nearly every country on the planet. It was clear that Lily was the best of the best and without peer. It also was clear that she was the only girl doing this stuff.
As I stepped further into Lily’s work, I learned new details about this unique young woman. I discovered that she had been been abandoned as a baby in China, adopted by an American family, and was the only Asian-American growing up in a small town in New Hampshire. I began to see a deeper story about a quiet girl who spoke with her art, a young woman who found confidence and self-assuredness through her craft, and an unlikely global artist who was mastering new platforms to bring her art to 21st century audiences.
I soon got to know Lily and found her incredibly inspiring. This led us to decide to take a journey together on the making of a documentary — one that would show her in a completely different light from how she appeared in her own videos. I ended up filming Lily for nearly 3 years. It would begin with Lily’s freshman year at college (and her difficult decision to drop out) and end with her having her face beaming on a toy line at WalMart. In between, I filmed Lily doing her domino art in dozens of cities and multiple countries, watching how a Gen-Z artist navigated the world of YouTube, fame, professionalism, creativity, and commerce. I got to know an incredible young woman – humble, passionate, and determined to blaze her own path. In the end, I discovered a truly inspiring and universal coming-of-age story that touched on adoption, diversity, and our need for basic human connection. It was a story that made me understand that Lily’s delicate domino artwork was something profoundly deep to her and truly a metaphor for how she lived her life.

2022-08-05 - 2022-08-13 | DSU Campus
We are only days away from Okra Orientation aka Okratation 2022 and the DSU Community is buzzing with excitement about welcoming all new students on campus. Please see the orientation link for answers to your frequently asked questions and more information about the schedule etcetera. New Students, please make sure to check your Okra Email for important information and we will see you at ICED on the Quad on August 10th at 8:00pm.

FAQs
Do I have to register? No there is no registration for Okratation and please just check your email for more information and assignment to a Group.

Is Okratation Mandatory? The first event on August 10th at 8:00pm on the Quad called ICED is listed as mandatory so that you are able to pick up your swag bag, understand the schedule better, and get a chance to meet both your Okratation Group and Delta Diplomat.

What If I can’t attend that first night? You may pick up your items in the Student Affairs Office on the third floor of the Union in 307 during regular office hours of Monday through Friday 8:00AM to 5:00PM. Then please catch up with your group and join in for the duration of Okratation!

Are there consequences if I do not attend? There are no consequences should you be unable to make it to a particular session. However, we have created Okratation in order to help you acclimate to DSU and to give you lots of information to help you be successful before classes begin.

Who is Okratation for? Okratation is for all new students including transfers and international students who are enrolled in Delta State for the first time. The online schedule clearly indicates the few events like Silent Disco where all of the DSU Community including returning students, friends, etc are welcome.

Do I need money for Okratation? Okratation fees are already included into your billing so you won’t need to bring any extra money unless you want to eat outside of the scheduled times and locations or buy any other materials in the on campus bookstore and in Cleveland.

What should I bring or wear? As you are already moving either onto campus or into the area, you should have all the items you need for Okratation. Keep in mind that it will be hot and you want to be covered and comfortable.

What if I am a non-traditional student, graduate student, or have other reasons why I cannot attend? Okratation is meant to be fun and informative as well as to help you feel comfortable and like you belong here in the Delta State Community. It is not meant to impede or be a burden, so please make sure to take care of you and attend what you need to in order to join in now so you can stand out.

What happens if I attend all the sessions? You will be very well oriented to the services, get to ask questions, win all kinds of swag, be entered to win some great giveaways at the very last event, and possibly make some friends for life!

What is a Delta Diplomat? Each Group is led by a Delta Diplomat who serves as an Orientation Guide throughout Okratation. They are there to answer questions and help guide you through the process by pointing you in the right direction.

What is my Group? New Students are divided into Groups and assigned one Delta Diplomat each and a small group of New Students. This is to help you get more one on attention and help smaller groups bond with each other easier than they would if they were in the huge group.

An Evening with Clint Black
2022-09-13 19:30 - 22:00 | Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC)
Grammy-winning Country Superstar Clint Black to Perform at the Bologna Performing Arts Center
Grammy-winning Country Superstar Clint Black will perform on Tuesday, September 13, 2022 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bologna Performing Arts Center (BPAC) at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi.
It has been three decades since the release of Clint Black’s groundbreaking debut album, Killin’ Time. The genre altering record cemented the Country music icon as one of the truest traditionalists in the game and his widespread influence can still be felt in the works of artists today. Now, the seemingly unstoppable legend has recently released his incredible 23rd album, Out of Sane. The record, self-produced by Black, not only stays true to sounds that birthed Country music but also progresses the genre to today’s sensibilities.
Having earned 22 #1 career singles, nearly two dozen gold and platinum awards (U.S. and Canada), a Grammy Award, numerous CMA, ACM and American Music Awards, Clint Black has had one of the most storied careers in modern music. The Houston raised musician has certainly come a long way from the Texas nightclub circuit where he first began.
In his latest effort, Out of Sane, Black continues to hold firm in making great music that doesn’t fit a mold or conform to current popularity.
“I try to make records that don’t fit into a trend,” explains the producer/guitarist. “I never wanted to start a trend, and I’m not going to chase a trend, either. To me, a great band will always sound great, today and in ten years. If you listen to this record, it’s not about fitting into today’s country, or yesterday’s country, or tomorrow’s country, it just is.”
The Grammy-winning Country superstar, understands that people consume music in the real world; but to create something that endures, a whole lot of lab time is required. Laughing, he explains the album’s title – a lyric from the road boogie “What I Knew Then” — comes from the dual states of mind that come into play with making records.
“I have a studio on my property, so I can walk out there and never finish working because I have this passion for it. But so many hours can drive me insane: I don’t sleep, I’m exhausted and completely consumed. It’s like a radio that clicks on in my sleep, to get up and get back to work. The music comes out of the sane part of me, and the record itself the insane…”
The lead track from Out of Sane is the unadorned piano ballad “America (Still In Love With You),” which is currently available on all digital streaming platforms. It plays as an intimate song of romance, yet serves as a pledge to the fundamental truths and values of the country at a time of incredible divisiveness.
A collection of material that will certainly stand the test of time, Out of Sane, is one of the most personally gratifying albums Black has ever recorded.
“Out of Sane is made up of all original songs, except for one cover. I recorded it with a varied collection of musicians; some from my band and some with session players. I believe it’s one of my best albums ever and I think my fans will love it. They’ve been asking for new music for a while and I’m thrilled to finally be able to deliver after five years since the last studio album,” says Black. Out of Sane is available on all digital streaming platforms.
Tickets to Clint Black are on sale now at www.bolognapac.com or at the BPAC Ticket Office at 662.846.4626. The BPAC Fall 2022 Series is made possible by support from the following Premier Sponsors: Bolivar Medical Center, Needle Specialty Products, Robinson Electric Company, and Wade, Inc.; Executive Sponsors Cannon Motors, Gainspoletti Financial, Guaranty Bank, Planters Bank, and Quality Steel; and VIP Sponsors BankPlus, Bayer, Cleveland State Bank, Cotton House, Entergy and Renasant Bank.

Delta State's 97th Anniversary
2022-09-15 12:00 - 13:00 | Lena Roberts Sillers Chapel
Thursday, 15 September 2022 marks the 97th anniversary of students, faculty, staff and administrators embarking on a new journey.
97 years ago, 97 students prepared for classes. Since that time, thousands upon thousands of students have discovered their life journeys under the guidance and instruction of dedicated faculty and staff. With each year that moves us closer to our centennial years, we recognize the gift those first students, faculty, staff and the townspeople of Cleveland have passed on to us. Almost ten decades of learning, educating, decision making, trusting and enduring bring us all together to the threshold of centennial status.
100 years ago this September, a group of invested citizens, lead by Judge Audley W. Shands, recognized the valuable resource of three abandoned buildings at the end of Court Street and “spoke of the cultural value” a state-supported college would bring to the Delta community. According to records, this was the first public mention of locating a college in Cleveland. Within three years of bringing this idea to the table, Delta State Teachers College would begin the journey that we today claim a part of.
This year, the program will be held in the Lena Roberts Sillers Chapel, a historical property on Delta State’s campus which has benefited from the Dedicated Statesmen Association’s care and attention over the past several years. Special guests will share memories and observations of their time at Delta State. Please join members of the Dedicated Statesmen, current faculty, staff, administration and students inside the chapel for this noon program. This event is free and open to the public.

Determined to get him back, Elle uses her ingenuity and charm to get into Harvard too. School begins with endless struggles, but with the help of her new friends, Elle quickly realizes her potential, and her true assets, as she sets out to prove herself to the world and make everyone a believer.
Based on the beloved movie, Legally Blonde – The Musical will take you from the sorority house to the halls of justice with Broadway’s brightest new heroine and, of course, her Chihuahua, Bruiser.
