A good storyteller. All are welcome to audition.Sarah Resetta ("Lyons:) Wakeman: Female, 20s. Born to a poor farm family. Tough but not repellent. She can be sharp and insensitive.

All are welcome to audition.The Inspiration Set at the start of the American Civil War, Toliver & Wakeman theatricalizes and dramatizes the Civil War experience of two characters from very different (and not so different) backgrounds. Toliver is a young black man born into slavery in Virginia who escaped to New York, changed his name to avoid capture, and mustered into the Union Army's 26th Regiment of Colored Troops (NY). Wakeman is Sarah Rosetta Wakeman, a young white woman, born in rural Upstate New York. She disguised herself as a man and mustered into the Union Army, the 153rd New York State Volunteers, as "Lyons" Wakeman.Contact April Sweeney at sasweeney@colgate.edu for more information. - Apr 195:00 PMPalestinian Film SeriesAcademics | Center for Women's Studies, East Hall WMST Lobby

In 2017, Kristen T. Woodward was able to witness a total solar eclipse in Knoxville, Tennessee, and was moved by the dramatic planetary display. She is looking forward to viewing another eclipse in her hometown of Webster, New York in April, as we will be in that exquisite path of totality. Woodward marvels at how science has allowed us to countdown the minutes while other events in our lives appear random and chaotic. The experience leaves one to ponder what is pre-ordained. By including images inspired by solar eclipse, her encaustic paintings intend to capture this conflict and visual tension between chaos and natural order.Woodward received her BFA in Printmaking from Syracuse University, and her MFA in Studio Art from Clemson University. Her zoomorphic paintings combine encaustic and print processes, and often utilize found collage materials. Woodward is a professor in the department of art and art history at Albright College, teaching drawing, painting, printmaking, and gender and the visual arts. Currently, she is collaborating with an environmental biologist to explore tropical ecosystems in Costa Rica. Woodward serves as is Resident Curator for the online site Artists2Artists.
