Verdi’s lush, emotionally charged score continues to captivate audiences, bringing new life to this deeply human story with every performance.

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet gets trimmed and sharpened in this fresh adaptation from Theatre B’s Artistic Director, Jon Micheels Leiseth. Set in an imagined world that fuses the styles from the Italian Renaissance and 1940’s Italy, this fresh take is full of momentum, movement, and music that is thoroughly modern. Amid this sumptuous danger, the ‘star-crossed lovers’ attempt to bridge the boundaries that the authority and family have set to keep them apart. True enough to the original for the fans of the Bard, crisp and clear enough for the easily bored, with twists to intrigue the familiar. Join us for this exciting collaboration between Theatre NDSU and Theatre B!

Dyer’s Circle: Natural Color Workshop Series, with Amanda Heidt
2025-11-02 13:30 - 16:30 UTC | The Rourke Art Gallery + Museum, 521 Main Ave, Moorhead, MN, 56560, United States
Join us for the first four Sundays in November as we embrace a new season by slowing down, creating together, and learning about natural dyes. Each three-hour session combines brief lectures with hands-on exploration, offering a chance to make, experiment, and connect within a community setting.
Each week highlights a new dye focus: indigo, warm hues like madder and marigold, cool and neutral tones like logwood and osage, and finally, experimental techniques such as eco-printing and pigment lakes. Participants will explore stitching, tying, and folding, as well as practice layering and overdyeing fabrics to create depth and richness.
Participants will leave with a collection of naturally dyed textiles, including three yards of cotton, two tea towels, a tote bag, and experimental swatches on silk and gauze. Eco-prints on paper and fabric will provide additional ways to incorporate color into the winter season.
Dyer’s Club is a fun, friendly space for makers of all skill levels. Whether you’re new to fiber arts or experienced with dyes, participants will develop skills, gain knowledge, and join a community— all while celebrating the beauty of natural colors.
​Supply/Proper Attire: All supplies will be provided by the instructor. Please wear old/project clothing or an apron.
Duration: 3 hours per session (x4)
Course fee: $215* (Registration below)

The history of art is shaped by an absence left by destruction, neglect, theft, and the passage of time. These disappearances narrow our understanding of the past and the ability to restore very real, profound stories essential to our humanity. Of the work we now hold in Museums or personal collections, countless others have not survived to the present. Damnatio Memoriae refers to the erasure of a person from cultural memory through the destruction of public documents and displays. This exhibition examines the power of absence in affecting historical material, visual culture and our understanding of the world.
This exhibition was co-curated by Joseph Stern (BS Public History Candidate).
