Hoyt Auditorium
Emmy Award-winning director Tom Hooper (John Adams) teams with screenwriter David Seidler (Tucker: A Man and His Dreams) to tell the story of King George VI. When his older brother abdicates the throne, nervous-mannered successor George "Bertie" VI (Colin Firth) reluctantly dons the crown. Though his stutter soon raises concerns about his leadership skills, King George VI eventually comes into his own with the help of unconventional speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). Before long the king and Lionel have forged an unlikely bond, a bond that proves to have real strength when the United Kingdom is forced to flex its international might.
Cost: Tickets are $2.00 for UR undergrads with ID, $3.00 for all others, available at the Common Market in Wilson Commons and at the door.

Ongoing: Hartnett Gallery Exhibit: The Modern Day Diana
Wilson Common, Hartnett Gallery
Hartnett Gallery is pleased to announce The Modern Day Diana, an exhibition of photographs of female hunters by Margaret LeJeune. This is the last weekend to see this show. LeJeune photographs women hunters across the United States in their homes or hunting lodges. These portraits question the relationship between the domestic sphere, traditionally the woman’s space, and the hunting world, a typically masculine realm. Her photographs feature the bow and arrow, the hunting dog, stag and animal pelts—attributes of Diana, the strong, graceful Roman goddess of the hunt—to further explore this dichotomy.
Gallery Hours:
Tuesday to Friday, 11:00am to 7:00pm
