April 5
Conserve Converse 2017 Film Event "Just Eat It"
Time: 7:30 PM | Location: Garlock Dining Hall

Part of the Conserve Converse 2017 Miniseries   

We all love food.  As a society, we devour countless cooking show, culinary magazines and foodie blogs.  So how could we possibly be throwing nearly 50% of it in the trash?

Filmmakers and food lovers Jen and Grant dive into the issue of waste from farm, through retail, all the way to the back of their own fridge. After catching a glimpse of the billions of dollars of good food that is tossed each year in North America, they pledge to quit grocery shopping cold turkey and survive only on foods that would otherwise be thrown away. In a nation where one in 10 people is food insecure, the images they capture of squandered groceries are both shocking and strangely compelling. But as Grant’s addictive personality turns full tilt towards food rescue, the ‘thrill of the find’ has unexpected consequences.

Featuring interviews with TED lecturer, author and activist Tristram Stuart and acclaimed author Jonathan Bloom, Just Eat It looks at our systemic obsession with expiry dates, perfect produce and portion sizes, and reveals the core of this seemingly insignificant issue that is having devastating consequences around the globe. Just Eat It brings farmers, retailers, inspiring organizations, and consumers to the table in a cinematic story that is equal parts education and delicious entertainment.

Free admission for all – all are welcome to attend!

This event is sponsored by the RWC Ecological Stewardship Committeeand the RWC Cultural Enrichment Committee.

RWC Theatre presents Pride and Prejudice
Time: 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM | Location: Hale Auditorium

Finding a husband is hardly Elizabeth Bennet's most urgent priority. But with four sisters, an overzealous match-making mother, and a string of unsuitable suitors, it's difficult to escape the subject. When the independent-minded Elizabeth meets the handsome but enigmatic Mr. Darcy, she is determined not to let her feelings triumph over her own good sense -- but the truth turns out to be slipperier than it seems. All of the wit and romance of Jane Austen's classic 1813 novel come to life in this refreshingly fast-paced and engaging new adaptation from Jon Jory, founder of the Humana Festival of New American Plays.

Coinciding with the production will be the inaugural Carolyn Bowman Symposium, a day devoted to educating and creating for the performing arts. High school and college students, along with their professors and teachers, are invited to the Cultural Life Center to hear from with working creatives, participate in hands-on workshops, and network with industry professionals. Friday's evening performance of "Pride and Prejudice" is included with symposium attendance.
