SUMMARY:Dancing at Lughnasa
DESCRIPTION:  \nGet Tickets \n\nBlack Box Theater\n(Building 11B)\nAdults $24\, Seniors $22\nFree for OCC Students\nGeneral Admission Seating \n \nAbout the Show\nThis extraordinary play is the story of five unmarried sisters eking out their lives in a small village in Ireland in 1936. We meet them at the time of the festival of Lughnasa\, which celebrates the pagan god of the harvest with drunken revelry and dancing. Their spare existence is interrupted by brief\, colorful bursts of music from the radio\, their only link to the romance and hope of the world at large. The action of the play is told through the memory of the illegitimate son of one of the sisters as he remembers the five women who raised him: his mother and four maiden aunts. He is only seven in 1936\, the year his elderly uncle\, a priest\, returns after serving for twenty-five years as a missionary in a Ugandan leper colony. For the young boy\, two other disturbances occur that summer. The sisters acquire their first radio\, whose music transforms them from correct Catholic women to shrieking\, stomping banshees in their own kitchen. And he meets his father for the first time\, a charming Welsh drifter who strolls up the lane and sweeps his mother away in an elegant dance across the fields. From these small events spring the cracks that destroy the foundation of the family forever. Widely regarded as Brian Friel’s masterpiece\, this haunting play is Friel’s tribute to the spirit and valor of the past. \nPerformances\nFriday\, March 13 • 7:30pm (This performance will be interpreted in ASL by students from the Interpreter Training Program.)\nSaturday\, March 14 • 2:00pm\nSaturday\, March 14 • 7:30pm\nSunday\, March 15 • 2:00pm \nFriday\, March 20 • 7:30pm\nSaturday\, March 21 • 2:00pm\nSaturday\, March 21 • 7:30pm\nSunday\, March 22 • 2:00pm \nAbout the OCC Repertory Theater Company\nUnder the direction of Performing Arts Program Chair Paul Chalakani\, the mission of the OCC/REP is to create opportunities for college and community participation in various rich and diverse theatrical experiences. The Company seeks to engage\, entertain\, inspire\, and educate to enhance the cultural life of Ocean County College and the surrounding communities. The OCC/REP provides OCC students\, faculty\, staff\, and residents of neighboring communities the opportunity to attend and/or participate in quality performances of theatrical works – musicals and plays\, classical and modern\, traditional and experimental\, through a well-balanced theatrical season. Additionally\, the OCC/REP provides an environment for students of our performing arts program to apply what they are learning in a collaborative and encouraging format. The OCC/REP celebrates the power of the theatre to illuminate and mirror the human experience. \nThe OCC Repertory Theatre Company is funded\, in part\, by the Ocean County College Foundation.

SUMMARY:Dancing at Lughnasa
DESCRIPTION:  \nGet Tickets \n\nBlack Box Theater\n(Building 11B)\nAdults $24\, Seniors $22\nFree for OCC Students\nGeneral Admission Seating \n \nAbout the Show\nThis extraordinary play is the story of five unmarried sisters eking out their lives in a small village in Ireland in 1936. We meet them at the time of the festival of Lughnasa\, which celebrates the pagan god of the harvest with drunken revelry and dancing. Their spare existence is interrupted by brief\, colorful bursts of music from the radio\, their only link to the romance and hope of the world at large. The action of the play is told through the memory of the illegitimate son of one of the sisters as he remembers the five women who raised him: his mother and four maiden aunts. He is only seven in 1936\, the year his elderly uncle\, a priest\, returns after serving for twenty-five years as a missionary in a Ugandan leper colony. For the young boy\, two other disturbances occur that summer. The sisters acquire their first radio\, whose music transforms them from correct Catholic women to shrieking\, stomping banshees in their own kitchen. And he meets his father for the first time\, a charming Welsh drifter who strolls up the lane and sweeps his mother away in an elegant dance across the fields. From these small events spring the cracks that destroy the foundation of the family forever. Widely regarded as Brian Friel’s masterpiece\, this haunting play is Friel’s tribute to the spirit and valor of the past. \nPerformances\nFriday\, March 13 • 7:30pm (This performance will be interpreted in ASL by students from the Interpreter Training Program.)\nSaturday\, March 14 • 2:00pm\nSaturday\, March 14 • 7:30pm\nSunday\, March 15 • 2:00pm \nFriday\, March 20 • 7:30pm\nSaturday\, March 21 • 2:00pm\nSaturday\, March 21 • 7:30pm\nSunday\, March 22 • 2:00pm \nAbout the OCC Repertory Theater Company\nUnder the direction of Performing Arts Program Chair Paul Chalakani\, the mission of the OCC/REP is to create opportunities for college and community participation in various rich and diverse theatrical experiences.

SUMMARY:Sunset Meditation
DESCRIPTION:How do STEM workers\, including NASA professionals\, cope with stress? Exercise is one way. Physical activity and fitness have been discussed in many NASA outreach efforts. However\, outreach efforts regarding other branches of health\, such as emotional\, psychological\, and social well-being\, are lacking. Given that jobs come with stress\, a global understanding of the science of stress and learning a healthy way to cope with it helps with the well-being of employees\, job productivity\, employee retention\, etc. Meditation is a powerful tool for maintaining psychological health and resilience. Since the planetarium offers a dark and quiet space for relaxation\, it is the perfect place for meditation. Enjoy a guided meditation experience from Ball State University with the program “Sunset Meditation.” View a fantastic sunset as you travel from the Grand Canyon to the North Pole. Then\, relax under a night sky filled with stars and glimpses of the Northern Lights. \nFulldome Film\nApprox 25 Minutes\nGet Tickets \nView the Trailer Here!
