  • THEATRE
    The Crucible opens next Thursday, October 13 at 8:00 p.m. This production is the thesis project for Frank Hargreaves, Lynn Kenny, Todd Metzker, Chris Nelson and Kendal Tuttle. Many performance dates have already sold out, but there is still some availability left for Thursday evenings as well as the Saturday and Sunday Matinees. Don't miss your opportunity to see this compelling production and support the students working on their thesis projects.

    Regent Theatre is offering a new subscription series for the last 4 shows of its 2005-2006 Season: Twelfth Night, Peer Gynt, The Imaginary Invalid and How to Succeed in Business... The Regent Community price is only $25.00.

    The 15th Annual One-Act Play Competition winning entry is Family Knots by Kahle McCann, a third year Script and Screenwriting student at Regent. This is Kahle’s third year in a row with a first or second place entry. The Runner-up entry is Ruby Lee and Johnny by Shirley Wilson. Both plays will be produced in the Theatre Department’s annual One-Act Play Festival in February. Congratulations to both winners!

Turn on a television, go to the movies, open a magazine, or go online and you quickly notice that a person does not need a graduate degree to become a successful actor, journalist, film director, Internet blogger, or other variant of a media elitist.

A graduate degree can serve as your passport to a wider range of job advancement opportunities. Your time here may also shorten your professional learning curve.

Nonetheless, that does not sufficiently explain why many of you are attending Regent University, does it? Our own research suggests that many of your fellow students are here because they sense a personal calling of the Lord to be here.

How do we discover the truth about God’s calling on our lives?

First, it helps to understand the lies we must confront.

Humanistic philosophies permeate our culture with variations on the lie that the successful person is the highly educated and talented individualist who is able to manipulate others to fulfill that person’s dreams and ambitions. Our media industries readily entice us to believe that we are the stars at the center of our own constellations of influence. CONT. PAGE 2 >
