Saturday, May 11 | 2:30 p.m. & 7:30 p.m.
Stansbury Theatre

  • Director: Mauriah Donegan Kraker
  • Stage Manager: David Ciotti Hernandez


THE SHOW IS OVER is a devised work created in collaboration with student composers, musicians, actors, and dancers. Over the course of the evening, tap dance boards become set pieces, pop and punk sounds instigate obsessively danced phrases, real and virtual worlds collide. A murky manifesto for disorientating patterns of physicality and language.

George Abraham Poetry Reading

Saturday, May 4 | 5-7 p.m.
Memorial 113 – Diversity Center

PAO is hosting Chicago-based Palestinian-American poet George Abraham for a poetry reading and workshop session. The purpose of this event is to create a space where participants can learn about Palestine through poetry and reading. Especially with current world happenings, and because Arabian identities are often left out of Pan-Asian rhetoric, we feel like this is an especially important event to program.

This event will be taking place as part of PAO’s month-long event series for AAPI heritage month (which takes place every May). The event is one that we have programmed once two years prior that we are looking to bring back for this year’s AAPI heritage month celebration.
