Georgia College & State University’s coming-of-age production, “Leveling Up,” explores the fears, hesitancy, obstacles and sometimes courageous rites-of-passage into adulthood facing today’s youth. The production opens Wednesday, Nov. 8, and runs through Sunday, Nov. 12, in the Campus Black Box Theatre. Written by Deborah Zoe Laufer, the play explores the stagnant lives of three roommates who graduated from college two years earlier—but still spend their time on the couch playing video...
Georgia College & State University Professor of Art History Dr. Fadhili Safieli Mshana has a newly-published book, “African Artists Under Mission Patronage: Focus on Tanzania,” exploring the relationships between African artists and Western Christian missions—and how missionary patronage helped shape and define art in Africa during the 20th century. “The Department of Art would like to celebrate the scholarship of Dr. Mshana,” said Matt Forrest, interim chair and associate professor...

Directed by Jeremy Lee...

Walking campus this fall, you might’ve seen some peculiar sights. On Front Campus, student groups were moving on and off tarps, touching and calling out numbers. Students were seen building tall towers, piece-by-piece with plastic piping. On the walkway between Arts & Sciences and Beeson Hall, groups moved slowly, tightly gripping brightly-colored bandanas and balancing cups of water. These activities are being used in Dr. Lee Gillis’ senior capstone class “Experiential Therapies.”...
