    Moon Over Buffalo

    It’s 1953 in Buffalo where actors, George and Charlotte Hay, are fading faster than a New York minute. Their struggle to keep their name in lights has them performing Cyrano de Bergerac and Private Lives in tandem on the repertory theatre circuit. If fighting for their professional survival wasn’t enough, their marriage is on a downward slope. And, making matters even more desperate, their daughter is soon to marry outside of the land of thespians as she is engaged to, of all walks of life, a WEATHER MAN. There seems to be a break in the storm, however, when word arrives that a Hollywood director is coming to see their performances. Will the band of performers be able to change their course? If you enjoy a good belly laugh, Moon Over Buffalo is sure to hit the mark. If you're an actor, have even been on the stage, or one day aspire to take a turn on the boards, then you'll love it even more. This comedy classic represents (some) of the ridiculousness of those entrenched in the world of theatre. The show runs January 19-28 with 7:30 PM performances Thursdays through Saturdays and 3:00 PM Sunday matinees. Visit towntheatre.com for details. Moon Over Buffalo is directed by Allison McNeely. Dell Goodrich serves as costumer with set design by Bob Branham, light design by Jeremy Hansard and stage management from Kerry McGregor. The show is generously sponsored by Genesis Studios and Total Comfort Solutions.

    Women in Wine Dinner

    In an industry dominated by men, women have historically been sidelined for top jobs as owners and winemakers. There has been a turning of the tides in the past few decades and the results have been delicious. Come explore a menu created by the women on our culinary team (including our executive chef) paired with a selection of wines all from women at the top!

    Chief Justice Jean Toal in the McNair Conversations on the American South

    What does it take to become a leading jurist in the South? How does a Southern woman navigate the highest levels of the law and politics to become the state’s first female Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of South Carolina? Does growing up in the South help or hinder such signal achievements? Join us as we explore these issues and more with our 2024 McNair Honoree, former Chief Justice, Jean H. Toal. The Institute for Southern Studies in the College of Arts & Sciences annually hosts The McNair Conversations on the American South. Made possible by the generosity of the late South Carolina Governor, Robert Evander McNair, The McNair Conversations is a live podcast interview honoring individuals who have made a lasting and significant contribution to the American South. They are recorded in front of an audience and broadcast on the Institute’s highly successful Take on the South podcast series. Our 2024 McNair Honoree, Jean Toal, is a political and legal trailblazer. When she graduated from USC Law School in 1968, she was just one of eleven women actively practicing law in the state. Chief Justice Toal has argued cases before the United States Supreme Court, served in the South Carolina House of Representatives for thirteen years, and became the first female Justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court in 1988 and became Chief Justice in 2013. Her achievements are significant and enduring. Few have left such a mark and legacy on our state. This year’s McNair Conversation will be live-recorded and aired at a later date on the Take on the South podcast. This event is free and open to the public, but registration is requested. Check-in will open at 6:00 p.m. and the program will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m.

    Time: 6:30 pm -8:00 pm

    Opera at USC – Proving Up

    LOCATION: School of Music 206 Recital Hall ADMISSION COST: FREE In addition to two fully staged operas with orchestra each year, Opera at USC presents the free The Lanny and Sidney Palmer One Act Series. Proving Up, is a contemporary opera composed by Missy Mazzoli. Set in the harsh and unforgiving landscape of the American frontier in the 1860s, the opera tells a haunting story of perseverance and the pursuit of the American Dream. The narrative centers around the Zegner family, who have settled in Nebraska and are determined to “prove up” their land to secure their own piece of the American Dream. The opera delves into themes of identity, sacrifice and the human desire for progress and prosperity. Missy Mazzoli's evocative score blends haunting melodies with contemporary sounds, creating an immersive experience that reflects the emotional turmoil of the characters and the haunting vastness of the American frontier. With its thought-provoking storyline and innovative musical language, Proving Up pushes the boundaries of the traditional opera genre and captivates audiences with its depiction of the tested human spirit.
