Fall 2009 Arts & Letters Events


Tom Cellie Productions - Jazz concert

Fri. Sept. 18

Tom Cellie

Tom Cellie

In his own words, Cellie lives "three well-defined lives." When he's not planning mega-events like Biketoberfest and Jazzmania, he's a karate instructor and a jazz musician. Besides playing sax, flute, and clarinet, he also sings and writes his own crowd-pleasing compositions. You would know all of this if you had read his cover stroy in Volusia Magazine!

$5.00 at the door; free with Eagle card



Nosferatu - Just in time for Halloween

Tues. Oct. 27

Nosferatu-Shadow

Nosferatu

This 1922 silent film, based on Stoker's novel Dracula, stars "the first important vampyre" and will be accompanied by live music. This is silent film as it was meant to be enjoyed. Join us for our third in a series of such performances; the first two were very well received by all, including our students.

$5.00 at the door; free with Eagle card



David Johansson, Florida author of Skin of Sunset

Tues. Nov. 17 in A109

David Johansson

David Johansson

Dr. Johansson is both Associate Professor of English and a phenomenal novelist. No less a critic than A. L. Kennedy called his novel, "a complex, funny and intelligent exploration of our frailties - perhaps above all, our ability to endlessly and helplessly repeat our most damaging mistakes."

Please note special location

Stories of Love
and Loss

Three southern ladies, including our own Drs. Margaret Mishoe and Libbie Searcy, together with Nola Perez, a widely-published poet and memoir writer, share their unique life experiences. There's a reason this art-form has become so popular. Their stories are funny, poignant and endearing, all at once.
