A recital by Eklektikos, directed by Dale Sorensen, at Dr. Steel Recital Hall.

Love in the Digital Age Vagabond Productions presents Dead Man’s Cell Phone March 22-25. Would you answer a stranger’s cell phone? Well, Jean does, and so begins Dead Man’s Cell Phone, by Sarah Ruhl. The play is a funny take on relationships in the digital age. Jean’s decision to answer the phone is complicated because its owner is dead. This simple action draws Jean into Gordon’s world, taking her places she never expected. “The play explores a lot of timely issues, given people’s addiction to their cell phones. The play asks questions about how technology effects relationships,” says director Greg Doran. Once Jean answers Gordon’s phone, she is learns about his life and his dark secret. “The play is really funny and dark at times. It asks questions about love in the digital age, when face to face contact has been reduced, friend has become a verb, and social media has made us antisocial. If you wonder where all of the cell traffic goes, this play is for you.” The play runs March 22 to March 25, 2017, in the Faculty Lounge, in the Main Building, on the UPEI campus. The doors open at 7 for a 7:30 pm start. Admission is pay what you can. The play contains adult language, so it may not be appropriate for younger audiences.

Keep Walking Forward: Film Showing on Cyber-activism and Islamophobia Join Royal Road University graduate students Rebecca Gass and Meghan Miller Cronkite for a screening of the films Letter to a Terrorist and Keep Walking Forward, followed by a presentation and panel discussion with UPEI staff and faculty, on Tuesday, February 7 at 6:00 pm in Rm 242, Don and Marion McDougall Hall, UPEI. This event is sponsored by the Student Diversity Office at UPEI. Letter to a Terrorist was produced in response to the November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, France, as well as in Lebanon and Turkey, and was shared using social media. It depicts five Muslim youth speaking to the terrorists who committed the attacks, explaining their frustration, hurt, sadness, and hope for peace. Cultural researcher Meghan Miller Cronkrite recently sat down with Manitoba Muslim activists Nilufer Rahman and Ayat Mneina to reveal their perspectives on recent terrorist attacks carried out by so-called Muslims and the resulting need for solidarity across cultural and religious divisions. Miller Cronkrite has presented her short film titled Keep Walking Forward to local community members and organizations to share these stories and build cultural understanding. Her presentation involves a screening of Keep Walking Forward as well as Nilufer and Ayat’s short film Letter to a Terrorist, which highlights the current political climate, Islamophobia, and how sharing stories that challenge the misrepresentation of Muslim people can help build community. An important aspect of this presentation is personal reflection and group dialogue, where participants can share their visions for a stronger community. “In a world so divided, we need to hold each other's hand and keep walking forward.” - Meghan Miller Cronkrite.
