Each spring, the Hallie Ford Museum of Art pairs its annual senior art majors exhibition with a small solo exhibition of recent work by one of the faculty members in the art department at Willamette University. This year’s featured faculty member is Cayla Skillin-Brachle (American, born 1984), who teaches drawing, conceptual art, color theory, and performance art in the art department.

Her exhibition includes drawings, sculptural objects, photographs, and found objects and will involve two performances as well as two Tuesday Gallery

Scholar Brian Newbould has called Franz Schubert’s Mass No. 6 “the triumph and swansong of [Schubert’s] career.” Written late in Schubert’s short life, the work was not performed until after his death at age 31.

Festival Chorale Oregon will perform this “concert mass,” which was never intended to be used in a church setting. The work uses seemingly limitless melodic and harmonic invention as if Schubert intended to put his own torturous thoughts into the score. It embodies pure emotion captured in music and is a glorious tribute to his genius.

Founding artistic director Solveig Holmquist conducts the 100-voice choir and symphonic orchestra with guest soloists.

Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Jazz Age musical, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another.

With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.

Hailed by New York Magazine as “The Perfect Broadway Musical,” The Drowsy Chaperone is a masterful meta-musical, poking fun at all the BROADWAY SERIES tropes that characterize the musical theatre genre.

The Drowsy Chaperone is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorization performance materials also supplied by MTI. MTISHows.com
Music & Lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison. Book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar

From the minds of improv and comedy legend Colin Mochrie and Master Hypnotist Asad Mecci comes a brand new, mind-blowing, jaw-dropping, side-splitting show.

Hypnosis and Improv — two art forms that have mystified and entertained fans, skeptics and everyone in between for decades worldwide – come together as two masters of their crafts unite for a totally unique comedy experience, HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis.

How it Works: 20 random volunteers from the audience will be put under hypnosis by Master Hypnotist Asad Mecci (the process of which is a show in its own right), their inhibitions evaporated and their minds no longer their own. The contestants are methodically and hysterically whittled down until the five best are left on stage when one of the world’s leading improvisers enters! Co-Creator Colin Mochrie takes the stage to improvise with the top five while they are still under hypnosis, turning the show into an improv extravaganza!
