Curator's Lecture: Lea Rosson Delong
"The True Price of Victory." Lea Rosson Delong discusses her scholarship on Christian Petersen and explores the strong side of this gentle sculptor.

ISU Theatre Production of "The Odd Couple"
This play asks the question, "Can two divorced men, one a neurotic neat freak and one a messy sportswriter, share an apartment without driving each other crazy?" The answer, of course, is "No!" Playwright Neil Simon has a special genius for finding great humor in ordinary people doing ordinary things and this is one of his most enduring scripts. Winner of the Tony Award for Best New Play.
