Constellation Stage & Screen presents “Another Revolution,” on stage June 4-21 at the Constellation Playhouse.
Some revolutions happen in the streets. Others in the lab.
Kat and Henry, two graduate students from opposing scientific disciplines, are forced to share a lab at Columbia University in 1968. Amidst interpersonal differences, a campus devolving into political chaos, and the uncertainty and turmoil of the outside world, they each discover what it’s like to be thrown into someone else’s orbit. By Jacqueline Bircher, playwright of Constellation’s hit production of Webster’s B!+@#. Recommended for ages 13+.

This new exhibition features a variety of costume and scenic designs by the late Robert O’Hearn, alumnus and professor emeritus of opera studies in the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. O’Hearn also worked as an opera, ballet, and theater designer for the Metropolitan Opera, IU Opera and Ballet Theater, Broadway, and other opera and theater companies across the country and Europe. A selection from the 600+ works that are now held by the University Archives celebrates O’Hearn as a visual storyteller, talented artist, and impactful designer.

Discovery Time activities are designed by early childhood specialists specifically to nurture and challenge the rapid development of preschool-aged children in a fun, safe, and collaborative learning environment. Activities vary monthly.

Sleep out so others don't have to! Beacon's Solidarity Sleepout is a powerful way to raise awareness and critical funds to support people in our community who are experiencing homelessness.

Join us on June 5th at 5pm until June 6th at 8am on the greenspace at First United Methodist Church in Bloomington. Participants will choose to sleep outside for one night to stand in solidarity with those who don’t have that choice. By asking their friends and family to sponsor them, participants will raise essential funds for Beacon's emergency shelter, which is the largest year-round emergency shelter for women in our area.

Let's acknowledge the realities of homelessness and inspire empathy and action as we come together to build a community where everyone has a safe place to sleep and the support they need on their path home.
