 Reading: The Visiting Writers Series: Poet Laureate Kay Ryan
Beloved U.S. Poet Laureate Kay Ryan is the author of "Say Uncle," "Elephant Rocks," "The Niagara River" and other books. According to U.S. Librarian of Congress James H. Billington, "Kay Ryan is a distinctive and original voice within the rich variety of contemporary American poetry. She writes easily understandable short poems on improbable subjects. Within her compact compositions there are many surprises in rhyme and rhythm and in sly wit pointing to subtle wisdom."
Sponsored by the Demarest Lloyd Lecture Fund.

CORNETSTONE STUDIO A ,Directed by ANDREW MANLEY
SEVEN JEWISH CHILDREN, A Play for Gaza is the latest play from from celebrated British playwright CARYL CHURCHILL. It is a Uniquely poetic 10 minute exploration of Israel and Gaza that premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London earlier this year and has now been seen all over the world The American premiere was directed by Dance & Drama Professor, ANDREW MANLEY, in Chicago in the Spring and he now directs it as part of his Acting Adjunct class here at CC. There is one performance – on SUN NOVEMBER 8th and the play will be performed in a continuous loop for an hour from 8.00pm to 9.00pm. The play has caused controversy wherever it has been seen with vociferous arguments for and against its apparent view of a long conflict but as Michael Billington of Britain’s Guardian said: “...the play solves nothing, but shows theatre’s power to heighten consciousness and articulate moral outrage.”

 Film: The Creeping Terror with filmmaker Pete Schuermann
Join filmmaker Pete Schuermann as he discusses and screens The Creeping Terror, the inspiration for his newest film project Creep! Creep! chronicles the outlandish story of director Argyle J. Nelson and his wife Shannon O’Neil and their audacious efforts to produce a monster movie in 1964. The result of those efforts was the obscure yet cultish film, The Creeping Terror. Considered to be the worst movie ever made, it also became one of the most mind-boggling scams in the history of celluloid. Sponsored by Independent Film Society of Colorado, the CC Film Union and Pete Schuermann.
