The Museum of Texas Tech University will host the major exhibition “Painting the Italian Landscape: Views from the Uffizi” Nov. 8 through Jan. 4, 2009.

The 45 works, ranging from the 1500s to the mid-20th century, illustrate the evolution of landscape painting in Italy from its earliest roots as merely a background setting to becoming the focal point of a painting.
While the exhibition, which is free to the public, is part art history lesson it is also an opportunity to see works from old Italian Masters such as Botticelli, Guercino, Filippo Napoletano, Nicolas Poussin, Claude Lorrain and Canaletto from one of the oldest and most famous museums in the world, the Uffizi.

The Uffizi is located in Florence, Italy, the city considered to be the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. The Uffizi gallery was built on the banks of the Arno River in 1581 by the Medici family, the ruling family of Florence from the 15th to the 18th century.

The Time of Your Life
by William Saroyan
November 20-23, 2008

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Drama Critics’ Circle Award in 1940, The Time of Your Life is set in a seedy San Francisco waterfront bar just before the start of World War II.  Numerous colorful but distressed characters drink at the bar while searching for something more out of life than they have. The action centers on Joe, a rich young man who does not have to work, who can spend most of his time drinking, doing small favors for people, and sending his simpleminded friend, Tom, on crazy errands. The people coming and going in the bar interact with Joe, the bar’s Italian immigrant owner, Nick, and one another.  The tension builds when Blick, a spiteful vice cop, returns to the bar to make trouble for Nick and a sad prostitute named Kitty Duval.

Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m.; Sunday at 2 p.m.  Tickets are $12; $5 for students with free tickets available for TTU students with valid ID.  All performances are at the Charles E. Maedgen Jr. Theatre located on 18th Street between Boston and Flint Avenues.  For tickets and information, please call (806) 742-3603.

This Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame group rocked the 70’s and 80’s!  The magic of this soulful, satisfying, hard driving band and the inspiring Stevie Nicks vocals is unparalleled in smash hits from 1975 to 1990. The Lubbock Texas Rhythm Machine and vocalists Caitlann Wiley, Jason Fellers and Owen Franklin will recreate Fleetwood’s music in its authenticity!
