Carthage College

On Sunday, May 8 at 4 p.m. in the A. F. Siebert Chapel, the choirs at Carthage participated in the annual Spring Choral Concert.

"The Marriage of Figaro" is one of the great comic masterworks by Mozart, based on a revolutionary play by Beaumarchais that upended many of the stereotypes of the day by portraying servants as both intellectually and morally superior to their masters. The music is brilliant and the comedy remains fresh even 230 years after the opera was written. The Carthage Opera Workshop performed an abridged version of the work.

Winner of three Tony Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical send-up of capitalism, social irresponsibility, bureaucracy, and musical theatre itself! In a dystopian future, a 20-year drought has led to a ban on private toilets. Citizens must use public toilets regulated by an evil company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. From within the oppressed masses, a hero plans a revolution that could lead them all to freedom!

This concert featured "Black September", an original work by Gregory Berg and Matt Boresi based on the tragedy of the 1972 Olympics.

Carthage celebrated arts and creativity March 8 - 13 with special events and exceptional performances!

When two actors with a history are thrown together as romantic leads in a forgotten 1930's melodrama, they quickly lose touch with reality as the story they enact onstage follows them offstage. Stage Kiss is the newest play from award-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl, an artist gifted with a singular voice. It was performed at Carthage Oct. 23-31, 2015.
