The 39 Steps
Brodbeck Concert Hall - Center for the Arts, Platteville, WI
The 39 Steps is a play based on the 1935 film of the same name by Alfred Hitchcock. The play’s concept calls for the entirety of the 1935 adventure film to be performed nearly verbatim onstage, but with a cast of four. One actor plays the hero, an actress plays the three women whom he has romantic entanglements with, and two other actors play every other character in the show: heroes, villains, men, women, children, and even the occasional inanimate object (over 150 zany characters in all). This 20-time Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance!
Tickets for the Spring Semester shows will go on sale December 1st!
GA $30, UWP Faculty/Staff & Seniors $28, Under 18 $20, UWP Students $10

Retreat Weekend: God, Jesus & Prayer in Today's Universe Story directed by Michael Morwood
Shalom Retreat Center, 1001 Davis St., Dubuque, IA
Christian tradition has carried two “stories” about God. One story has told of human isolation from God because of a “Fall,” the “theological story” of Jesus who won access to God in heaven. The other story reminds us that “God” is an everywhere reality beyond all human concepts. Jesus is revealer of this Presence in which we live and move and have our being. The goal of prayer is to deepen our awareness of this Presence and to challenge us to give the best possible human expression to it. We will use the contemporary “story” about our universe to deepen awareness and appreciation of God’s universal presence, to reflect on the role of Jesus as revealer of this Presence always with us, and to examine the implications for prayer and liturgy.
FRIDAY ONLY: Nov. 19, 7:00 - 9:00pm
Offering: $25 - register/prepay by Nov. 17.
FULL EVENT:
COMMUTER: Offering: $115 (includes 2 lunches)
EARLY BIRD: $100, if registered by Oct. 19, 2010.
OVERNIGHT: Offering: $130 (includes 5 meals & overnight stays)
EARLY BIRD: $115, if registered by Oct. 19, 2010.

NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION: A Language of Compassion
Shalom Retreat Center, 1001 Davis St., Dubuque, IA
6:30 – 9:30pm
Presenters: Pat R. Farrell OSF, MSW & Marian Klostermann OSF
NOTE: Both facilitators have presented workshops on this topic in this country and abroad.
Nonviolent communication (NVC) is a way of speaking that facilitates the
flow of communication needed to exchange information and resolve differences peacefully. Someone has said that the principles of NVC can literally change the world. They can also change the quality of life with one’s spouse, children, co-workers and anyone else with whom one interacts. Nonviolent communication focuses our attention on compassion as our motivation, rather than fear, guilt, blame or shame. It emphasizes taking personal responsibility for our choices and improving the quality of our relationships as our goal. It is effective even when the other person or group is not familiar with this process.
Offering: $10. Call 563/582-3592 to register by Monday, Sept. 13.
