Croatia Through the Digital Lens: The Photo Journal of an Unforgettable Study Abroad Experience, an exhibition of photographs taken by students enrolled in the multi-disciplinary 2006 May term program in Croatia, will be on display through the end of this month.

Through the mountainous region north to the Dalmatian coast, the country of Croatia boasts one of the most diverse landscapes and intricate histories in the world. For three weeks, 25 students and faculty members journeyed through the heritage that is Croatia.

The focus of the trip was exploring the culture of Croatia through language, public health, sociology and the built heritage. The group traveled through many areas including Bosnia and Montenegro. The diversity of the landscape was inspiring and the exhibit will include photographs the students took while traveling and studying on the Balkan Peninsula.

The exhibit runs through Nov. 30. There will be a reception Nov. 8 from 5–6:30 p.m. at the Circle Gallery, located in G14 Caldwell Hall. The exhibition is open 8:30 a.m.–

Thursday, November 9
University Theatre.
It isn’t funny when your holidays are ruined by a grumpy, gruff, mean, acerbic, portly man who’s not even a relation—but when it happens to someone else, it’s hilarious. Add some romance, a glamorous actress, a prankster and some penguins, and you’ve got the idea of the University Theatre’s production of “The Man Who Came To Dinner.”

The George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart classic ushers in the holiday season this month. The show runs in the Fine Arts Building at 8 p.m. Nov. 9–11 and 15–18 and Nov. 19 at 2:30 p.m. Admission is $12 ($10 for senior citizens and UGA students with a valid ID) and tickets may be purchased at the University Theatre Box Office located in the lobby of the Fine Arts Building at the corner of Lumpkin and Baldwin streets. Reservations may be made in advance by calling (706) 542-2838. www.drama.uga.edu

The show’s premise is set in motion when world-renowned wit Sheridan Whiteside slips and falls outside of the Stanleys’ home and he is forced to stay with them, subsequently turning the house upside-down. He is demanding and patronizing, and keeps the phone and the servants busy with his international calls and visiting celebrities.

Whiteside was based on Alexander Woollcott, a writer, radio personality and member of New York’s Algonquin Round Table, whose fiendish wit was infamous. When he turned up unexpectedly at Moss Hart’s Pennsylvania home, he demanded Hart’s own bed and struck fear into the staff. When he left, he signed Hart’s guest book: “This is to certify that I had one of the most unpleasant times I ever spent.”

Hart related the story to Kaufman, adding that he was only too glad Woollcott hadn’t fallen down, broken his leg and been forced to stay. Thus the idea for the play was born.
