University Theatre.
Marisol by José Rivera. 8 p.m. Oct. 15-18 and 21-24, 2:30 p.m. Oct. 19. Cellar Theatre, Fine Arts Building. Sponsored by drama department. Tickets: 542-2838 (box office open noon-5 p.m. weekdays).
Rivera’s play, which won the 1993 Obie for best off-Broadway play, is a nightmarish vision of a world riddled with self-centered viciousness and cruelty. The central character, Marisol Perez, loses her guardian angel to a revolution in heaven that spills over to Earth, destroying all compassion and humaneness in Marisol’s world. It is a powerful, poetical and frenzied depiction of the apocalypse, meant for mature audiences.
Freda Scott Giles, associate professor of drama and African-American studies, will direct the play. “I want the audience to suspend disbelief and enter into the world of the play,” despite the fantastical scenario, she says.
“I hope that there will be messages about the nature of compassion and hope. The millennium foreseen in Marisol has already come, and with it we can either choose to see the world the same way that we have been conditioned to see it, or we can look with new eyes, and make substantive changes, hopefully for the better.”

Academy of Ancient Music with Richard Egarr. 8 p.m. Hodgson Hall. Sponsored by Performing Arts Center. 542-4400.
The original Academy of Ancient Music was established in 1726 for the purpose of studying and performing “old” music, defined as music composed at least a century earlier. But it soon began to include more contemporary composers, most notably Handel. The modern revival of the Academy, founded by Christopher Hogwood in 1973, created one of the first period-instrument orchestras; the ensemble now enjoys worldwide acclaim for its concerts and more than 250 recordings of music from the baroque, classical and romantic periods.
This season marks the 30th anniversary of the recreated Academy of Ancient Music and the group is touring the United States and Europe under the direction of Richard Egarr, a renowned historical keyboard musician. Egarr and the Academy will perform an all-Bach program featuring Bach harpsichord concertos they have previously recorded on the Harmonia Mundi label to critical acclaim.
The members of the group are Richard Egarr, director and harpsichord; Rachel Brown, flute; Pavlo Beznosiuk, violin; Rodolfo Richter, violin; Trevor Jones, viola; Alison McGillivray, cello; Malachy Robinson, double bass; and William Carter, theorbo.
