Game Face: What Does a Female Athlete Look Like?
and Jim Dusen: Brockport Game Face
Game Face: What Does a Female Athlete Look Like? is a unique photographic celebration of sports and physical daring in the lives of girls and women. The exhibition was inspired by the 30th anniversary of Title IX, in which Congress mandated the equality of girls and boys in schools, both in classes and on the playing fields. As a companion piece, Brockport campus photographer Jim Dusen has taken a series of photographs for Brockport Game Face that depict the anguish, strength and victory that some of our own female athletes have faced.

Sunday, April 5
When The College at Brockport began the poet & painter restoration project, 72 pieces of art created by famed poet E.E. Cummings had not seen the light of day for over two decades, due to deterioration. After the October 2007 poet and painter gala, more than half the collection had been “adopted” for restoration. Yet there are still pieces to be restored, and in order to raise funds to do so, we are thrilled to bring Anthony Zerbe to Rochester in his tour-de-force performance, It’s All Done With Mirrors, in which he gives insight into the artist behind the poet.
Emmy Award-winning stage and screen actor Anthony Zerbe in
It’s All Done With Mirrors...
an avalanche of E.E. Cummings
“A delicious evening of theatre”
–San Diego Union
With this performance, the audience gains joyous access to the art and energy of one of America’s most beloved poets. Zerbe moves through a parade of characters, accents and dazzling word play, capturing some of Cummings’ favorite subjects: Paris, New York, the moon, spring, and first loves. Like Cummings, Anthony Zerbe is an accomplished raconteur and his asides and anecdotes recall a time when conversation was considered an art form.
In addition to Mr. Zerbe’s captivating presentation, this fund raising event will feature an exhibition of the approximately 35 works that will have been restored thus far. Additional Cummings works in need of conservation will be available for “adoption” during the post-performance wine and hors d’oeuvres reception.
For more information on the project, please visit www.brockport.edu/cummings or call Michael D. Andriatch, executive director of alumni relations and major projects, at (585) 395-5809.

"FUNdamentals of Farce"
featuring John Guerrasio from Geva Theatre Center's production of The Ladies Man
With a plethora of doors, antic stage business, crazy characterizations and just plain funny words, farces can be a rollicking joy for audiences to watch. On the other side of the footlights, however, they are as carefully choreographed as one can imagine. An American theatre veteran based in London, Guerrasio’s work in the UK includes Conversations with My Father, Arsenic and Old Lace, Pal Joey, The Taming of the Shrew, and The Price. He wrote and hosted A Practical Guide to Europe on the Travel Channel but may be best known by American audiences for his role on the British television series As Time Goes By, broadcast here on PBS.
