| 4:00 pm | Mathematics Colloquium AVERY HALL"Operator Theory and the K-homology of Algebraic Varieties," William Arveson is professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. He has held numerous visiting positions and fellowships including Newcastle (UK), Aarhus, Rio de Janeiro, Oslo, UC San Diego, Nankai, Canberra, Penn, Trondheim, Kyoto, two years (1985-86 and 1999-00) as Miller research professor at Berkeley. His theory of extensions of completely positive maps now permeates the study of operator algebras. A current interest is the study of endomorphisms of operator algebras (E0-semigroups), which models non-commutative dynamics arising in quantum theory. |
| 7:30 pm | Hairspray LIED CENTER for PERFORMING ARTSBroadway's Tony Award-winning musical-comedy phenomenon takes you back to 1962 Baltimore, as 16-year-old Tracy Turnblad sets out to dance her way onto TV's most popular show. Can a big girl with big dreams- and even bigger hair- change the world... and still have time to win the boy she loves?
This mega-hit is piled bouffant-high with laughter and romance- and enough deliriously tuneful new songs to fill a nonstop platter-party. It's the winner of eight 2003 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The New York Times says, "If life were everything it should be, it would be more like Hairspray. It's irresistible!" |
| 7:30 pm | Theatre - "Self Defense, or Death of Some Salesmen" Studio TheatreSeven white men have been found dead and a prostitute has been charged with their murders. Is she a serial killer, or are they seven acts of self-defense? A portrait of a very complicated charismatic, dangerous and damaged human being. The play is an investigation of capital punishment, destitution, violence against (and by) women, and whether a prostitute is considered a person under our justice system. Adult language and content. |
