Freedom by Fashion
Stephens students in “FAS 380: Topics in Advanced Design Problem Solving” will be among the featured designers in the Freedom by Fashion fashion show on Sept. 26. The students have been learning about fair trade textiles and how this helps women worldwide to earn a living wage and to be less likely to become part of human trafficking.  The students’ garments use fair trade and repurposed fabrics. Stephens students will also model the garments. TRAMA Textiles items and other fair trade items will be for sale. Tickets: $12 student price (at MSA/GPC box office); $15 early bird price; $20 at the door.

—Monica McMurry, Dean of Design and Fashion

Macklanburg Playhouse
This quirky comedy, set in Washington, D.C., in 1865, revolves around the British-born stage actress Laura Keene whose wacky company is performing at Ford’s Theatre the night Abraham Lincoln is shot by John Wilkes Booth. Even though this sounds sad, the backstage mishaps take focus over the national tragedy, giving the old theatre maxim, “The show must go on!,” a truly different dimension. Just picture the Civil War meets Waiting for Guff man!
