TheatreUNI Presents: Blood at the RootTheatreUNI Presents: Blood at the Root
Wednesday, March 2, 2022 - 7:30 pm to Friday, March 11, 2022 - 3:00 pm
This drama is based in the true story of the Jena Six: six Black students who were initially charged with attempted murder for a school fight after a provoking incident on campus. “When the central character, a black female student named Raylynn, decides it’s time for change in her high school, she sits under a tree around which only white students regularly gather. In response - as was the case in Jena - nooses are subsequently hung from that tree, causing many black students to erupt in protest." (American Theatre)
This piece is filled with poetry, music, and choreography which help lift up the script’s important message.
Content Warning: This play contains topics related to the marginalization of specific groups, and the use of language and images that may be disturbing to some.

Guest Artist Recital: The Neave TrioGuest Artist Recital: The Neave Trio
Wednesday, March 9, 2022 - 8:00 pm
Visiting artists The Neave Trio will present a recital. Since forming in 2010, Neave Trio – violinist Anna Williams, cellist Mikhail Veselov, and pianist Eri Nakamura – has earned enormous praise for its engaging, cuttingedge performances. WQXR explains, “‘Neave’ is actually a Gaelic name meaning ‘bright’ and ‘radiant,’ both of which certainly apply to this trio's music making.” The group’s 2019 album Her Voice, on Chandos Records, was named one of the best recordings of the year by both The New York Times and BBC Radio 3. This event is free and open to the public.
