• Perception Pattern Place - Digital Art by Michele Chiuini 5pm to 8pm @ Gordy Fine Art & Framing Co. 224 East Main Street

  “Art is not about pure representation but about our perception of reality. My work is a study on how we perceive place, through a combination of geometric patterns and colors.” So begins the artist’s statement of Michele Chiuini for his new body of work depicting architectural structures – stairs, doorways, windows – in colorful geometric arrangements. From the artist's personal imagination, then, come images that resonate with others, based on their own personal experiences of house, shelter, structure.

  An opening reception for the artist will be held First Thursday, April 5th , 2012, from 5 to 8 PM at the downtown gallery. The public is encouraged to attend, and light refreshments will be served. The other downtown galleries will also be hosting free exhibits.

  “Perception Pattern Place,” continues through April 30, 2012, and may be viewed during normal business hours: Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5:30 PM, Saturdays, 9 to 3, or by appointment.

• Lend Me a Tenor 7:30pm @ University Theatre

  Cost:	$7 to $13 (see description)

  Students from Ball State University's Department of Theatre and Dance will combine a whirlwind of mistaken identities, slamming doors and compromising plot twists in the hilarious farce "Lend Me a Tenor," opening on the University Theatre stage March 29 at 7:30 p.m. Additional performances are scheduled March 30-31 and April 4-7, with a matinee at 2:30 p.m. April 1. "The play was a smash hit on Broadway and continues to be popular with audiences nearly 30 years later," said Michael O'Hara, director of the production and associate dean of the College of Fine Arts. "I'm thrilled to return to one of my favorite comedies."
  
  The play starts on the biggest night in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. The year is 1934, and the guest artist, world famous Italian tenor Tito Morelli, is nowhere to be found. Even worse, when Morelli finally appears, a blackout-inducing combination of alcohol and sedatives leaves the company's assistant manager, Max, believing he is dead. What follows is a chain reaction of hilarious confusion and mistaken identity as Max tries to save the performance in this screwball comedy.
  
  Students have been rehearsing the play since the beginning of February. A farce typically takes time to get all the mechanical aspects worked out, doors opening and closing, sleight of hand, timing and several props, O'Hara said.
  
  "Because this cast is made up of undergraduates, the physical comedy they're able to achieve is simply amazing," he added. "The amount of energy and physicality they infuse into the comic moment is worthy of anyone's attention."
  
  Tickets for the performance cost $13 for the general public, $12 for faculty and staff, $10 for senior citizens and $7 for students. They are available from the University Theatre Box Office, open from noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Contact the box office at 765-285-8749 or visit www.bsu.edu/theatre for more information.

• Trivia Brawl 9pm @ Doc's Music Hall 215 S. Walnut

  Every Sunday, egos are crushed and legends are born at Trivia Brawl. Come and play for free, solo or with a team, and show off your command of all knowledge trivial. Win, and split up a a $50 Doc's gift certificate on food, drinks, tickets, or merchandise. Every game is six rounds of trivia questions on a wide variety of topics in pop culture, science, history, and current events. Every tenth question is part of our inadvertent quest to discriminate against the deaf, and has players listening to a song and attempting to identify its title, band, and album. The sixth round is a special visual aid round in which the blind are instead at an unfair disadvantage. Team signup starts at 9pm, and unless we go into a Sudden Death Lightning Bloodfeud Overtime Round (of Death)™, the game tends to wrap up at about 11pm.
