Event Details
All Things Equal – The Life and Trials of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a new play by multiple-Tony Award-winning playwright Rupert Holmes (Curtains – 2007, Say Goodnight Gracie – 2003, The Mystery of Edwin Drood – 2003) is a fascinating and humorous portrayal of the Supreme Court Justice, a true American original. Theatergoers will marvel at Ginsburg’s strength, tenacity, sly wit and compassion, her yearning for equality, and her love for this nation’s precious institutions. All Things Equal is an intimate look at RBG’s life and trials: being one of only nine young women studying law at Harvard while also raising a daughter and helping her husband battle cancer, fighting for women’s rights in the 1970s before all-male courts, and taking courageous stands for human rights amid an increasingly politicized Supreme Court.

Event Details
Featuring the JMU Opera Theater
Music by Philip Glass
Libretto by Arthur Yorinks
Based on the story by Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe’s famous horror story has fascinated poets, dramaturgs, and composers for decades. American opera’s most influential 20th-century composer has transformed a gothic tale by a 19th-century master of the macabre. The result is spellbinding! Premiering in 1988, the opera is one of Glass’ most popular, and the hauntingly beautiful music captures every nuance and blood-curdling nerve of Poe’s story. When a man visits his ill childhood friend, Roderick Usher, he is shaken by the foreboding sense of evil that pervades the household’s inhabitants. His attempts to understand and address the literal and figurative “illness” that permeates Usher’s house fail at every turn, and he is unable to deter Usher, his sister Madeline, and the house itself from their swift descent into the abyss.
