For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.

Peter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play that was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.

From the writer of the critically acclaimed Grumpy Old Men: The Musical comes Grumpy Old Dan, a collection of hilariously sharp, self-aware essays on show business, family, and the quiet absurdities of modern life.

Dan Remmes is an acknowledged grump. He’s also warmhearted and keenly observant. After decades surviving show business, he has more than a few tales to tell. In this eclectic collection of sidesplitting stories, humiliating mishaps, social commentaries, and introspective musings, Dan also offers a healthy dose of Hollywood and New York City nostalgia. His confessional essays hold nothing back: awkward interactions with celebrities rogue mascots and schoolyard skirmishes bouncing off a speeding car in Times Square a fiery fury over flip flops the indignities of medical maladies an accidental audience with the Pope, and more.

Perfect for fans of David Sedaris and Nate Bergatze, Grumpy Old Dan is a laugh-out-loud ride through the frustrations and joys of life—told by a man who is simultaneously exasperated by the world and deeply in love with it.

In this interactive workshop, you'll build your own notebook, experiment with AI-powered features including visual infographics, study guides, and podcast-style conversations based on your sources, and explore how these features might support your own course preparation as well as thoughtfully designed learning activities for students. Together, we'll consider practical ways to use source-based AI to support information literacy, encourage critical engagement with course materials, and explore opportunities for faculty and students to learn alongside one another. Bring a few course resources and leave with a customized notebook, new ideas for your teaching, and greater confidence evaluating this emerging technology for your own educational context.

Deborah E. Lipstadt was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, with the rank of ambassador. In that position, from 2022-25, Ambassador Lipstadt led efforts to advance U.S. foreign policy to counter antisemitism throughout the world. She has had a storied career as a historian, academic, and author. Prior to joining the State Department, Lipstadt served as the Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies at Emory University’s Tam Institute for Jewish Studies, which she helped to found. At Emory University, where she has taught for 30 years, she currently holds the position of Distinguished University Professor. Her messages are grounded in fighting hate, ensuring justice, and standing up to those who distort history for ideological purposes. With years of experience as a public speaker, Ambassador Lipstadt's ability to blend scholarship with compelling narratives makes her speeches engaging and impactful.

She was named as one of Time magazine's "100 Most Influential People of 2023." In April 2024, Ambassador Lipstadt was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, one of the oldest learned societies in the United States. Ambassador Lipstadt inspires deep reflection on the importance of preserving historical truth and fostering a more just and inclusive world. Her message encourages action, making her not only a speaker but a catalyst for meaningful change.

This program is shared as part of the dedication of a new sculpture on Fairfield University’s campus. To learn more about this sculpture please visit the Fairfield University Art Museum.

Rooted in a 1970s aesthetic and fueled by constant crowd interaction, this circus-cabaret show joyfully overflows with outrageous twists and turns. It bears all the hallmarks of Cirque Alfonse: irreverence, daring, and live music. With its Caribbean flair and unapologetically Québécois folk roots, the music sets the tone for a grand vintage wedding celebration that is as tender as it is delightfully kitschy.

If you struggle to discern life’s meaning, you’re not alone. Millions today describe a growing sense of emptiness, a lack of purpose and significance. And there’s a reason: Rapid cultural, economic, and technological changes have rewired our brains, reducing their ability to perceive depth and purpose. In this talk, Arthur Brooks, PhD, shows you how to push back against these changes and find the meaning you need to live a happy, fulfilling life.

Dr. Brooks is an American author and academic. Since 2019, he has served as the Parker Gilbert Montgomery Professor of the Practice of Nonprofit and Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School and at the Harvard Business School as a professor of management practice and a faculty fellow. Brooks is the author of thirteen books, including Build the Life You Want: The Art and Science of Getting Happier with co-author Oprah Winfrey (2023), From Strength to Strength: Finding Success, Happiness and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life (2022), and Love Your Enemies (2019). In addition, his latest book, The Meaning of Your Life is part of Fairfield University’s Class of 2030 Common Read selections.

The Met: Live in HD season continues with Mozart’s satirical comedy of fickle young love. Phelim McDermott’s “colorful, inventive” staging, inspired by Coney Island in the 1950s, sets the uproarious story at a boardwalk amusement park, where the two pairs of lovers at the heart of the tale find themselves on one emotional thrill ride after another. Soprano Federica Lombardi and mezzo-soprano Samantha Hankey sing Fiordiligi and Dorabella, opposite tenor Duke Kim and baritone Andrey Zhilikhovsky as Ferrando and Guglielmo. Bass-baritone Gerald Finley reprises his portrayal of the cynical Don Alfonso, with soprano Ana María Martínez as the witty maid Despina.

The Evolution of Jewish Power: An interview with Dr. Yaron Ayalon about his new project on Jewish Politics and recent work on Ottoman Jews conducted by Dr. Gavriel Rosenfeld

Dr. Gavriel Rosenfeld, President of the Center for Jewish History in New York City and Professor of History at Fairfield University and Dr. Yaron Ayalon, Professor of Religious Studies, Carl and Dorothy Bennett Chair in Judaic Studies, and the Director of the Bennett Center for Judaic Studies, will discuss Dr. Ayalon’s recent and ongoing research.

Dr. Ayalon received his bachelor of arts in Middle East history and education from Tel Aviv University, and his doctorate in Near Eastern studies from Princeton University in 2009. His expertise includes Sephardic Jews, the Ottoman Empire, the Middle East, and Isreal, using an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates history, psychology, sociology, climate science, and disaster studies.

He is the author of two books: Ottoman Jewry: Leadership, Charity, and Literacy (Brill, 2024), and Natural Disasters in the Ottoman Empire: Plague, Famine, and Other Misfortunes (Cambridge, 2015). Dr. Ayalon has written more than 20 articles and has served as an editor for the Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World. Additionally, from 2020-24 he co-chaired the Sephardi/Mizrahi division of the Association for Jewish Studies.

Dr. Rosenfeld, professor of history, serves as president of the Center for Jewish History in New York City. An expert on Nazi Germany, Holocaust memory, and the politics of history, he is known for bringing scholarly insight to contemporary conversations—from remembrance of the Holocaust in the United States to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The author or editor of eight books, including The Fourth Reich: The Specter of Nazism Since World War II and Building After Auschwitz: Jewish Architecture and the Memory of the Holocaust, a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award, Dr. Rosenfeld continues to shape how audiences understand history’s ongoing resonance. He holds a BA from Brown University and a PhD from UCLA.

Date & Time: Tuesday, October 6 at 7:00pm

Location: BCC Dogwood Room

This event is made possible through the generous support of Patrick J. Waide ’59 and the Waide Center for Applied Ethics.

When it comes to the most pressing social issues of the day, Kwame Anthony Appiah, PhD, is a touchstone of reason and inclusivity. Asking—and answering—probing questions on morality, ethnicity, and religion as “The Ethicist” for The New York Times Magazine, Dr. Appiah is a fearless, lucid arbiter. He demonstrated this in his BBC Reith Lectures on the modern complexities of creed, culture, color, and country, and in his book, The Lies That Bind, named one of the 50 Notable Works of the Year by The Washington Post.

Exciting and erudite, Dr. Appiah challenges us to look beyond the boundaries—real and imagined—that divide us, and to celebrate our common humanity. Named one of Foreign Policy’s Top 100 public intellectuals, one of the Carnegie Corporation’s “Great Immigrants,” and awarded a National Humanities Medal by The White House, Dr. Appiah currently teaches at NYU, though he’s previously taught at Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Duke, and the University of Ghana.

Dr. Appiah’s book Cosmopolitanism is a manifesto for a world where identity has become a weapon and where difference has become a cause of pain and suffering. Cosmopolitanism won the Arthur Ross Book Award, the most significant prize given to a book on international affairs. In The Honor Code: How Moral Revolutions Happen, he lays out how honor propelled moral revolutions in the past—and could do so in the future.

Considering the events of Jesus’s natality—including Mary’s experiences of pregnancy and childbirth along with Jesus’s experiences of utter dependence and vulnerability as an infant—allows for the articulation of a Christian political theology that undergirds democratic practices of radical and embodied space-making for others in our society, especially the most vulnerable. Dr. Flores discusses the crisis of Black and Brown maternal-fetal mortality to illustrate the possibilities of a Christian political theology of democracy inflected by Black and Brown Mariology and natal Christology.

Dr. Aaron Rock-Singer is a transnational historian of the modern Middle East with a particular focus on Islamic and Jewish movements that fuse religion and politics, Dr. Rock-Singer is currently a Research Fellow at the University of Michigan’s Raoul Wallenberg Institute and teaches courses in Judaic Studies, Middle East Studies, and History.

Dr. Rock-Singer received his B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania (2007), his M.Phil from St. Antony’s College, Oxford (2010) and his PhD from Princeton’s Department of Near Eastern Studies (2016). Dr. Rock-Singer's research draws on mass and small media to trace the changing relationship between religion, politics and society in the 20th-century Middle East. His first book, Practicing Islam in Egypt: Print Media and the Islamic Revival was published by Cambridge University Press (2019) and his second book, In the Shade of the Sunna: Salafi Piety in the 20th-Century Middle East, by the University of California Press (2022). He is currently at work on a third monograph, tentatively entitled Worshipping the Nation: Exclusivist Politics in Mandatory Palestine, 1917-48. Bridging Islamic and Judaic Studies, as well as histories of Mandate Palestine with those of transnational Islamic reform, Worshipping the Nation draws on Arabic and Hebrew-language sources to trace the linked emergence of Islamic and Jewish religion-political visions under the British Mandate.

RECEPTION – 6:15-7

Adolph and Ruth Schnurmacher Scholar-in-Residence Lecture

Time: 7:00pm

Location: Kelley Presentation Room

Title: Reproducing Judaism: How Jewish Tradition is Remade through the Everyday Lives of
American Jews

While Judaism is often thought about as a religion that happens in and through synagogues, ancient texts, and rabbis, this talk will explore American Judaism as a living, growing tradition that is maintained through bodies. “Reproducing Judaism” will show how American Jews of different ages, sexual identities, and levels of observance participate in the creative, reproductive labor of nurturing religious tradition.

Dr. Cara Rock-Singer is the Lama Shetzer Assistant Professor of Judaic Studies at the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where she is also affiliated with the Gender and Women’s Studies Department and the Science and Technology Studies Program.

She is the author of Gestating Judaism: The Corporeal Technologies of American Jewish Religion (University of Chicago Press, 2026). This book examines how Jewish women utilize gendered bodily technologies to challenge normative structures within American and Israeli religious life. Dr. Rock-Singer is currently working on her second book project, Inherited Futures: The American Jewish Life of Genetics and Epigenetics, which incorporates her undergraduate research on genetics and epigenetics into her research on contemporary Judaism. Specifically, Inherited Futures investigates how modern science and technology have created novel forms of Jewish religion: new kinship practices that aimed to eliminate Tay Sachs, ritual communities that lend spiritual support to BRCA carriers, and popular media that has inculcated belief in epigenetic inheritance of Holocaust trauma. This book will shed new light on the role of biological science in imagining Jewish collective identity in 20th-century America.

Supported by Adolph and Ruth Schnurmacher Foundation

To call Cameron Carpenter a virtuoso seems wholly inadequate. He is the world’s most visible organist, the first ever to be nominated for a Grammy Award for a solo album. Acclaimed for his flawless technique, Carpenter’s repertoire—from the complete works of J.S. Bach and César Franck to his hundreds of transcriptions of non-organ works, his original compositions, and his collaborations with jazz and pop artists—is perhaps the largest and most diverse of any organist.

For his third appearance at the Quick Center, Cameron Carpenter brings a totally different program than you’ve heard before. He will play the soundtrack live as we watch a classic silent film.

This is the 100th anniversary of the release of The General, a 1926 silent action-comedy film starring Buster Keaton. The film was inspired by the Great Locomotive Chase, an actual event that occurred during the American Civil War. Legendary filmmaker Orson Welles was noted for calling this film "the greatest comedy ever made, the greatest Civil War film ever made, and perhaps the greatest film ever made.”

This event is offered as part of Alumni & Family Weekend.

His singers were costly temperamental Italians, his orchestras played in the French style, and George Frederick Handel (1685 – 1759) created a great to-do while glorifying the German kings of England with spectacles of water music and fireworks music. Parodied by The Beggar’s Opera into bankruptcy, both loved and hated, Mr. Handel found favor with audiences by turning his skills to the biblical oratorio in English, in which everyone could sing along.

Join Lucy Hallman Russell for a fascinating account of 18th-century music traditions, social mores, and controversies surrounding Handel and the Hanoverian kings of England, well before America declared independence from them.

About the speaker:

Sharing her passion for cross-cultural insights is a main feature of the presentations by Lucy Hallman Russell. Born in Alabama, she attained four diplomas in piano, music history, and harpsichord, with additional studies in Italian, art history, pre-history, and archaeology.

After advanced studies in Germany, she has enjoyed a long career as associate professor of music and music history at the Wuerzburg Conservatory and the University of Music Wuerzburg. As a harpsichordist she has performed and taught master classes throughout Europe and in the United States, China, and Russia.

Lucy Hallman Russell loves nothing better than speaking to interested listeners about her familiarity with all things cultural to help them better enjoy their own individual travel experiences. And if you like, just ask her about pre-historic archaeology, finding artifacts on the fields, making stone mosaics, baking Southern biscuits or pecan pie, or the construction of music instruments!

The career of Sunny Jain is a celebration of cultural diaspora: deep-rooted tradition that ripples outward, changing—and being changed by—the cultures that it touches. He is a composer, drummer, dhol player, and thought leader.

In his first theatrical production, Jain brings his signature talent for creating immediate community, blurring the lines between performers and audience. Love Force draws on his autobiography and family history to dive into the concept of satyāgraha (which means “insistence or holding firmly to truth”). Coined by Mahatma Gandhi during his nonviolent protest against British colonialism in India, satyāgraha is both a theory and a method of enveloping the oppressor with compassion.

Called the “Hendrix of dhol” by Manchester Salon (UK), Jain is most known for founding the pioneering band Red Baraat, a frenzied fusion of bhangra, hip-hop, jazz, rock, and sheer, unbridled energy.

Recently, Sunny Jain played dhol with Ed Sheeran in his Netflix show One Shot, and he co-wrote and recorded the song “Ai Miei Amici” with Italian superstar Jovanotti. You might have also seen him acting as “Mr. Tambourine Man” in the Oscar-nominated A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet.

Seating information: This performance is interactive and encourages the audience to be a part of the experience. This includes times for seating, standing, and even dancing, if you so choose. We realize that for some audience members, they prefer to remain seated through a performance. With this in mind, please choose any seat you'd like, but note that the front left section of the house is designated for those wanting to sit through the entire performance, knowing their view won't include other audience members at times standing in front of them. Please keep this in mind when you purchase your tickets.

Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy.

Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.

Three “relics” undergird this work. First, in 2019, Gordon and Quillen visited Quillen’s mom, Sue, recording an interview from her perspective as caretaker during her husband’s illness. Second, Sue offered up Jerry’s journal where he chronicled the arc of his disease. Third, Jerry made a 17-track playlist (you must see the work to learn why) morphing into 17 sonic episodes. Together, these elements are framed by Gordon’s recall of his first visit with Sue over dinner in Quillen’s childhood home. The excavated materials are reimagined via song, Reuben sandwiches, interviews, and a high-stakes dinner with a surprise figure at the table.

Relics and Their Humans marks the second collaboration between writer, director, and performer Ain Gordon and composer, writer, and percussionist Josh Quillen (of So Percussion).

Named after the “invincible sun” deity, Compagnie Hervé KOUBI’s Sol Invictus upholds love as the guarantor of peace, that despite fracture, communion emerges as humanity’s saving grace. The music score includes a composition by Swedish composer Mikael Karlsson, with excerpts by Steve Reich and digital composer Maxime Bodson. “I want to talk about light, solidarity, and those bonds that unite us,” says Koubi. “Here, the sun and the dance will emerge victorious.”

Take a break from the busy hustle and bustle of the Christmas season and bring your family and friends to a concert that is sure to delight!

Grammy Award-winning violinist Mark O’Connor began his creative journey at the feet of American fiddling legend Benny Thomasson, and the iconic French jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli. He melded those influences into a new American classical music, perpetuating his vision of “A New American School of String Playing.”

An Appalachian Christmas features Maggie O’Connor—Mark’s wife—on vocals and fiddle. The show is packed with Americana, bluegrass, jazz, and American classical elements that offer an afternoon of cherished songs to warm the heart this holiday season.

Starring Ryan Speedo Green
Produced by Cheryl Wiesenfeld
Developed and directed by Niegel Smith
Written by Daniel Bergner

Post-performance discussion led by Cheryl Wiesenfeld

Three-time Grammy winner and renowned opera star Ryan Speedo Green tells–and sings–his own story.

From juvenile detention to becoming one of the premier performers at The Metropolitan Opera.

At the age of twelve, Green was sent to Virginia’s juvenile facility of last resort. There, he was locked in solitary confinement cells, because the staff could not control him. His home was volatile, his father gone, his mother violent. Yet today he is one of the greatest opera singers in the world.

In 2011, at the age of 24, Green came out of nowhere to win a nationwide competition hosted by New York’s Metropolitan Opera, beating out 1,200 other singers. He now is performing lead roles at the Met and Europe’s most prestigious opera houses.

In Sing for Your Life, Green takes us on his unforgettable journey, through intimate memories and spectacular singing in genres ranging from arias to gospel and pop. This is a story of race, art, and family that poses profound questions about the forces that shape us and the devoted teachers and mentors who guide us in determining our destinies.

Circa’s Wolf is a gasp-inducing acrobatic thrill ride.

Circa is at the forefront of the new wave of contemporary Australian circus, redefining the art form by showcasing how extreme physicality can forge powerful and emotive experiences. Circa performers are relentless in the way they push boundaries, blending movement, dance, theatre, and circus.

For director Yaron Lifschitz, the wolf is a symbol of our untamable selves: liberating, anarchic, and savage. In two contrasting acts, the wolves evolve from disruptive forces of chaos into a ferocious pack whose intense choreographies overflow with raw energy and astounding physicality. The cast of ten extraordinary Circa artists grasp, tear, climb, leap, and balance with fierce abandon.

Wolf is circus with fangs. Join the pack.

Silas is from a family of shepherds and tries to do right by his mum and granddad as he reluctantly takes on the responsibility of watching their sheep up on the mountain over the winter. But he’s bored, lonely, and missing out on the fun of the annual knitting competition in town, so desperate for attention he cries out – “Wolf!”

This is a beautiful wintery tale about a boy who learns the importance of the truth and finds a place for himself (and his imagination) in his warm woolly community. Inspired by Aesop’s famous fable, a gifted ensemble of actor-musicians play instruments and sing live as they embody all the characters, including mischievous sheep and even a scary wolf or two.

Based in Leeds, England, Tutti Frutti Productions brings us this much-loved story, brimming with live music, unforgettable songs, and delightful characters. ​

Their new work is called The Kitchen, an evening-length performance featuring Brinda Guha (Kathak), Amanda Castro (tap), and Arielle Rosales (flamenco), with live music composed and performed by Okai Musik, AJ Jagannath, and Ryan Stanbury.

The Kitchen unfolds through rhythm, ritual, and shared listening. Rooted in percussive movement traditions and live music, the piece explores how joy and friction coexist within acts of gathering around the table, imagining the intimacy of shared meals, and the intergenerational connections of family. The work reflects on how families come together despite tension, drawing inspiration from generations of titis and mashis who created nourishment through food and care.

Through the rhythmic languages of tap, flamenco, and Kathak, The Kitchen becomes both a feast and a meditation.

A Celebration of the Music of Chick Corea and Beyond

NEA Jazz Master and four-time Grammy Award-winning bassist Stanley Clarke teams with frequent collaborator and innovative pianist Hiromi to pay tribute to Chick Corea in a new program of Corea works and original compositions inspired by the late, great pianist.

Clarke and Corea were longtime friends and bandmates in the iconic jazz fusion band, Return to Forever.

After a chance meeting in Tokyo, the then 17-year-old Hiromi was invited by Corea to perform with him, the beginning to a musical camaraderie that lasted decades.

It was Corea who recommended Hiromi to Clarke when he was looking for a pianist for his band. Clarke and Hiromi went on to tour and record together, winning a Grammy in 2011 for Best Contemporary Jazz Album for The Stanley Clarke Band.

Applauded by The Washington Post as “a perfect encapsulation of today’s trends in chamber music,” multiple Grammy Award nominated PUBLIQuartet will join Clarke and Hiromi as they honor their long histories with Corea and their shared musical journey with each other.
