University Theatre Stages 'She Kills Monsters' |
|
Get your tickets now for University Theatre’s production of “She Kills Monsters” by Qui Nguyen.
Directed by Dan Heaton, the show takes place in Athens, Ohio, in 1995. After her sister Tilly’s death, Agnes discovers that Tilly was a well-known D&D player. Agnes recruits a “dungeon master” named Chuck to help her understand and grieve the loss of Tilly. Chock-full of supermodel elves, dominatrix warrior women, and evil cheerleaders, “She Kills Monsters” is a surprisingly sweet tale of friendship, loss, and acceptance. Moving between the “real” world and the “imaginary” world of Tilly’s creation, Agnes discovers truths about her sister and herself.
Seating is limited, so reservations are recommended. Call 614-236-7174 for tickets. Admission is $7 adults, $5 students and seniors; or free with current Capital University ID.

It's On Us, It's On Capital |
|
It's On Us chapters across the country are dedicated to building a movement to combat campus sexual assault. These chapters build a team of dedicated student leaders who teach and educate their peers on sexual violence awareness and consent, teach bystander education, and create support for survivors on campus. Through community education and action, college campuses are able to change campus culture, make a difference in peer education, and support survivors of personal, power-based violence. If you're interested in learning more about or joining Capital University's It's On Us chapter, visit https://capital.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2tRu4IEoWBC884u.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL LOOKING TO GET BACK ON TRACK
It's no secret that the 2021-22 season contained its ups and downs for the Capital University women's basketball team as the team battled through injuries, disruptions brought on by the pandemic, and a midseason coaching change.
In 2022-23, head coach Camille McPherson will be entering her first full season in charge of the program and has recruited a plethora of young and experienced talent that will surely help play a part in getting Capital back on track.
Not only has McPherson utilized the recruiting trail as an opportunity to add to the program, she has also brought in assistant coach Schyler Fennimore, who played a four-year career at OAC foe Muskingum.
