Although we often associate the Romans with white marble statues\, these statues — as well as Roman homes\, clothing\, and art — were vibrant with color. This exhibition examines colors in the ancient Roman world\, how these colors were produced\, where they were found\, what the Romans thought about them\, and how we study them today. We hope that visitors will think about what different colors mean to them\, and how these meanings compare to the roles of colors in the ancient Roman world.\n\nCurators: Catherine Person and Caroline Roberts\n\nView the online exhibition: http://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/ancient-color/ UID:59301-14728349@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59301 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:AEM Featured,Archaeology,Classical Studies,Exhibition,Museum LOCATION:Kelsey Museum of Archaeology CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190412T113303 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T113000 SUMMARY:Presentation:Robotics PhD Defense: Josh Mangelson DESCRIPTION:In manufacturing\, teams of robotics systems\, working in coordination with one another\, have led to dramatic increases in safety\, efficiency\, and profit. Collaborative teams of robotic vehicles working together in unstructured environments have the potential to yield similar gains in a variety of application areas including automatic inspection of underwater structures. However\, autonomous collaboration in real-world environments is significantly more difficult than in the factory. The main reason for this is because in an unstructured environment\, fundamental information such as the position of the robotic agent\, its relationship to other agents\, and a model of the robot's surroundings all have to be estimated by the robotic vehicle online\, while their estimation can be simplified or engineered out of the problem in a structured one. This is further complicated by the fact that in underwater environments\, failure of a navigation or perception algorithm that estimates the above quantities can result in significant damage or the loss of a vehicle. Moreover\, existing algorithms for navigation and mapping in unstructured environments\, tend to fail in the presence of outlier measurements\, when given a bad initialization\, or when using an inaccurate characterization of pose uncertainty.\n\nIn this thesis\, we propose four methods that bring us closer to robust and consistent multi-agent autonomous inspection. The first is a method for handling outlier measurements when merging maps generated by two agents collaboratively inspecting a structure. The proposed method uses graph theory to enforce that the selected set of measurements are consistent with one another resulting in more consistent maps than existing methods. The second is an initialization agnostic method for aligning robot trajectories based on low-dimensional data. The third is a way of formulating the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem as a convex polynomial optimization problem. This enables us to guarantee that the trajectory estimated by the robotic vehicle is the true solution to the posed optimization problem. Finally\, the fourth is method that uses Lie group theory and the Lie algebra to accurately characterize the uncertainty of jointly correlated poses. We evaluate the proposed methods and show that they outperform existing state-of-the-art algorithms.\n\nWe conclude with a discussion of \"reliable autonomy\" by describing a set of additional problems that need to be solved to enable reliable\, large-scale\, fully-autonomous\, multi-agent inspection of underwater structures.\n\nJoshua Mangelson is a Ph.D. Candidate in Robotics at the University of Michigan. His interests lie in the development of navigation\, mapping\, and perception algorithms that enable the design of reliable field robotic systems that can operate consistently in unstructured environments. He is especially interested in the development of large-scale multi-agent teams for autonomous inspection of underwater structures. He is the recipient of the IEEE ICRA Best Multi-Robot Paper Award and the IEEE OCEANS Best Poster Award both in 2018.

These studies also yield implications for subtle\, research-based strategies to reframe how students experience their socioeconomic contexts in order to increase academic motivation and engagement. Destin's talk will describe a series of studies that illustrates how information and messages about opportunity in society and overcoming challenges can be utilized to increase student motivation during adolescence. He will also describe studies that examine the effectiveness of leveraging other social agents in students’ lives\, like parents and near peers\, to convey motivating identity-based messages. Finally\, the research extends into higher education and reveals potential implications for broader notions of health\, well-being\, and public policy.

In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

The first half of this talk will focus on a new microscale additive manufacturing process\, known as microscale selective laser sintering (μ-SLS)\, that has been developed in the NDML for the fabrication of 3D electronic interconnect structures with micron scale resolutions. In this process\, a thin layer of nanoparticle ink is first spread onto the substrate. The substrate is then positioned under an optical subsystem using a custom built nanopositioning device. A laser that has been focused off a micromirror array is then used to sinter the nanoparticles together in a desired pattern with micrometer resolution. Another layer is then coated onto the substrate and the process is repeated to build up the 3D structure. Finally\, the unsintered nanoparticles are washed away to reveal the final 3D part. This talk will present the materials science\, mechatronic systems\, optics designs\, and process modeling used to make this additive manufacturing process capable of achieving micrometer resolution with high throughput (~63 mm3/h) over large areas (~ 50 mm x 50 mm).\n\nThe second half of this presentation will focus on two projects related to the manufacturing of high quality\, flexible electronics: (1) A new roll-to-roll metrology framework for the manufacturing of flexible electronics devices and (2) A new method to precisely exfoliate thin sheets of silicon from bulk silicon wafers. These two projects represent two different approaches to solving the challenge of producing flexible electronics that can compete on performance with conventionally manufactured electronics. The roll-to-roll metrology project tackles the problems currently present in the patterning of repeatable and uniform nanoscale structures on flexible substrates by enabling process control feedback in the roll-to-roll nanopatterning process. This is done by integrating compact\, MEMS-based\, single chip atomic force microscopes (sc-AFMs) with high scanning speeds directly into a new roll-to-roll metrology framework that greatly increases the throughput and modularity of direct\, nanometer-scale measurement on flexible substrates. The exfoliation project takes the opposite approach by taking electronic structures that have been fabricated on conventional silicon substrates and making them flexible by making the silicon layer extremely thin (<5μm). This processes uses a compressive nickel film to create a stress concentration below the top surface of the wafer and polymer film with controlled tension to propagate a crack along this stress concentration. The advantage of this process is that it allows us to cheaply take electronics that have been fabricated using traditional manufacturing processes on bulk silicon wafers and turn them into flexible electronics using just one additional processing step. The presentation will conclude with some thoughts on the future directions of next generation of electronic devices from a manufacturing prospective.\nBio\nDr. Cullinan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering the University of Texas at Austin.

For this visionary project\, the artist adhered a procession of vivid images to the glass walls of the museums in a rhythmically evocative narrative\, based on reassembled fragments from a diverse range of artworks in both museums' permanent collections.  The juxtaposed images address our shared histories and experiences while connecting the viewer to the origins and meaning of objects and their power to shape knowledge\, memory\, and identity. By leveraging the buildings’ unique architecture\, the artist expands our understanding of a museum as a cultural repository and highlights the significant role of these institutions in the life of the campus community.  Cosmogonic Tattoos is on view at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology through May 2\, 2018 and UMMA through June 2\, 2019.\n \n#CosmogonicTattoos\n\nLead support for Cosmogonic Tattoos is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.

Do cells individual cells differ in their ability to reprogram? We address this using cellular barcoding based lineage tracing\, and demonstrate that reprogramming dynamics in large \"interacting\" populations are dominated by “elite” clones [1]. This work highlights the importance of cellular interactions and/or epigenetic heterogeneity in fate programming outcomes. In contrast\, tissue regeneration in animals exhibit neutral dynamics between the underlying population of stem cells [2]. Taken together\, we show that looking at cell fate transition from the lens of eco-evolutionary lens shed light on underlying biology. \n UID:63147-15578798@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/63147 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190413T190721 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T130000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELED :: Roundtable and Q&A with Hilton Als and Aisha Sabatini Sloan DESCRIPTION:****This event has been canceled due to changing travel plans. We hope to see you at the 4/18 Hopwood Awards Ceremony instead (Thursday\, April 18\, 6:00 PM\, Rackham Auditorium).****\n\nPlease join us in the Hopwood Room for a discussion between essayists Hilton Als and Aisha Sabatini Sloan. This lunchtime event will be catered\; food will be available at 11:30\, and the discussion will start at noon.\n\nHilton Als began contributing to The New Yorker in 1989\, writing pieces for ‘The Talk of the Town\,’ he became a staff writer in 1994\, theatre critic in 2002\, and lead theater critic in 2012. Week after week\, he brings to the magazine a rigorous\, sharp\, and lyrical perspective on acting\, playwriting\, and directing. With his deep knowledge of the history of performance—not only in theatre but in dance\, music\, and visual art—he shows us how to view a production and how to place its director\, its author\, and its performers in the ongoing continuum of dramatic art. His reviews are not simply reviews\; they are provocative contributions to the discourse on theatre\, race\, class\, sexuality\, and identity in America. Als is an associate professor of writing at Columbia University’s School of the Arts and has taught at Yale University\, Wesleyan\, and Smith College. He lives in New York City.\n\nAisha Sabatini Sloan was born and raised in Los Angeles. Her writing about race and current events is often coupled with analysis of art\, film and pop culture. She studied English Literature at Carleton College and went on to earn an MA in Cultural Studies and Studio Art from the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU and an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of Arizona. Her essay collection\, The Fluency of Light: Coming of Age in a Theater of Black and White was published by the University of Iowa Press in 2013. Her most recent essay collection\, Dreaming of Ramadi in Detroit\, was just chosen by Maggie Nelson as the winner of the 1913 Open Prose Contest and will be published in 2017.

In a typical fMRI experiment\, each subject is observed at several hundred time points. At each point\, the blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) response is measured at 100\,000 or more locations (voxels). Typically\, these responses are modeled treating each voxel separately\, and no rationale for interpreting associations as effects is given. Building on Sobel and Lindquist (2014)\, who used potential outcomes to define unit and average effects at each voxel and time point\, we define and estimate both “point” and “cumu- lated” effects for brain regions. Second\, we construct a multi-subject multi-voxel multi-run whole brain causal model with explicit param- eters for regions. We justify estimation using BOLD responses av- eraged over voxels within regions\, making feasible estimation for all regions simultaneously\, and facilitating inference about association between effects in different regions. We apply the model to a study of pain\, finding effects in standard pain regions\; we also observe more cerebellar activity than observed in previous studies using prevailing methods. We visualize results using whole-brain maps of effects and spatio-temporal correlation plots that illustrate temporally lagged re- lationships between brain regions.\nBy Michael E.

Defendants of the program argued that that it would increase the efficiency and effectiveness of US drone operations\, not least by enabling more accurate recognition of those who are the program’s legitimate targets and\, by implication\, sparing the lives of noncombatants. But this promise begs a more fundamental question: What relations of reciprocal familiarity does recognition presuppose? And in the absence of those relations\, what schemas of categorization inform our readings of the Other?\n\nThe focus of a growing body of scholarship\, this question haunts not only US military operations but an expanding array of technologies of social sorting. Understood as apparatuses of recognition (Barad 2007: 171)\, Project Maven and the US program of targeted killing are implicated in perpetuating the very architectures of enmity that they take as their necessitating conditions. I close with some thoughts on how we might interrupt the workings of these apparatuses\, in the service of wider movements for social justice.\n\nAbout the Speaker\nLucy Suchman is Professor of Anthropology of Science and Technology at Lancaster University in the UK. Her research interests within the field of feminist science and technology studies are focused on technological imaginaries and material practices of technology design\, particularly developments at the interface of bodies and machines. Dr. Suchman’s current research extends her longstanding critical engagement with the field of human-computer interaction to contemporary warfighting\, including the figurations that inform immersive simulations\, and problems of \"situational awareness\" in remotely-controlled weapon systems. Dr. Suchman is concerned with the question of whose bodies are incorporated into these systems\, how and with what consequences for social justice and the possibility for a less violent world.\n\nThis lecture is also part of the ETHICS AND POLITICS OF AI series.

Common health outcomes associated with this time period include: vasomotor symptoms\, osteoarthritis\, decreased bone mineral density\, and increased cardiovascular risks. Current research examines the biological mechanisms that regulate this transition. However\, further research is needed to determine the best methods for characterizing cyclic patterns of hormones in reproductive physiology.\n\nFitted representation of these hormones will contribute vital knowledge to the field of women’s health and wellness. This presentation will outline ongoing epidemiological analysis and elicit feedback on potential mechanisms\, dynamic modeling\, and parameterization of estradiol and follicle stimulating hormone across the menopause transition.

The number of behavioral health clinicians available to provide traditional face-to-face care is woefully inadequate to meet the growing need. Further\, a substantial proportion of patients treated under current healthcare systems do not get better. With evidence to meaningfully guide treatment decisions and objective measures of mental health both lacking\, the choice of treatment is often based on clinician preference and simple heuristics. \n\nMore than any other recent advance\, mobile technology has the potential to address the dual problems of limited clinical capacity and inadequate and untimely data. Mobile technology holds the potential to both track and intervene on mental health symptoms in powerful ways that had not previously been possible. However\, little is known about how to derive the greatest value from this technology by targeting patients most likely to benefit and by providing clinicians with the most useful information gleaned from the intensive data collection processes.\n\nBios:\nAmy S.B. Bohnert\, Ph.D.\, M.H.S. is a mental health services researcher with training in public health who focuses her research on epidemiology and brief interventions regarding substance use and related disorders. Within a team of collaborators at the University of Michigan and the Department of Veterans Affairs\, she has led a number of projects related to overdose and prescription drug safety.\n\nSrijan Sen\, M.D.\, Ph.D. is the Associate Chair for Research and Research Faculty Development and Frances and Kenneth Eisenberg Professor of Depression and Neurosciences. Dr. Sen’s research focuses on the interactions between genes and the environment and their effect on stress\, anxiety\, and depression. He also has a particular interest in medical education\, and leads a large multi-institution study that uses medical internship as a model of stress.

Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm.

While there has been an increased interest in the role of replication studies\, there also exists skepticism regarding the need for more replication. Our empirical analysis of 470 recent studies that use the term ‘replication’ suggests that this criticism stems from a lack of appreciation of the different forms that replication can take\, the prevalence (or lack thereof) of many of these forms\, and the objectives that are met by one of the least common forms\, constructive replication. As such\, the purposes of our paper are 1) to explore the different forms that constructive replication can take and the objectives at which each can be directed\, 2) to distinguish these forms from other forms of replication with which they are often confused\, 3) to determine how common each form of replication is in our field\, and 4) to provide concrete examples of different forms of constructiveness from published studies in order to pave the way towards more (and more useful) replications in the future.

Although there is an emerging interest in the social construction of brownness on its own terms\, most of such explorations are situated either in the East or West Coast. Rarely have the narratives of brownness in the Midwest been explored. The Midwest\, particularly Ann Arbor and the greater Detroit area\, has a sizable population of South Asians who work in a variety of blue collar to professional jobs that range from motel cleaners to doctors.\n\nThis exhibit was curated by Ram Mahalingam\, Osman Khan\, and Aswin Punathamebkar.

Many concepts like energy landscapes\, free energy\, and phase transitions can be usefully carried over from physics to machine learning and computer science. At the very least\, these techniques are a source of conjectures that have stimulated new work in probability\, combinatorics\, and theoretical computer science. At their best\, they offer strong intuitions about the structure of inference problems and possible algorithms for them.\n\nOne recent success of this interface is the discovery of a phase transition in community detection in sparse graphs. Analogous transitions exist in many other inference problems\, where our ability to find patterns in data jumps suddenly as a function of how noisy they are. I will discuss why and how this detectability transition occurs\, review what is known rigorously\, and present a number of open questions that cry out for proofs.

It disproportionately affects poor and rural communities in developing countries\, which also have high venomous snake diversity & the most limited medical expertise & access to antivenom. Antivenom can be life-saving when correctly administered but\, since many are monovalent\, their administration depends on the correct identification of the biting snake. Snake identification is challenging both due to snake diversity and the potentially incomplete or misleading information provided to clinicians by snakebite victims or bystanders. Clinicians do not necessarily have the knowledge or resources in herpetology to identify a snake from a carcass or photo. To reduce potentially erroneous and/or delayed healthcare actions\, we are building the first medical decision-support mobile app for snake identification based on artificial intelligence (AI) and remote collaborative expertise. AI has been used to help identify of birds\, plants\, and other organisms\, & our app will combine computer vision with the expertise from a global network of herpetologists to identify photos of snakes\, supporting victims & clinicians when urgent and reliable snake identification is needed. Our ultimate objective is to improve clinical management of snakebite in poor countries with high snakebite burden by supporting clinicians\, snakebite victims\, and laypeople in the identification of snakes. To do this\, we are building a massive global repository of photos of all snakes from museum collections (including VertNet & GBIF as well as digitized slides from historical archives)\, personal & researcher image collections\, open online biodiversity platforms (e.g. iNaturalist\, HerpMapper)\, books\, and social media (e.g. Facebook\, Twitter\, Flickr)\, updating global range maps for snakes\, develop a computer system based on machine learning and computer vision capable of identifying snakes taxonomically using photos and geolocation\, challenging communities of citizens & experts worldwide to identify snakes\, comparing the speed and accuracy of machine learning with that of citizen scientists & of experts\, and establishing an international working group of experts in snake identification to help validate images.

If the agents in prediction markets are Bayesians who share a common model and prior belief\, then the no-trade theorem implies that we should see no trade in the market. But if the agents in the market are not Bayesians who share a common model and prior belief\, then it is no longer obvious that the market outcome aggre-gates or conveys information. In this paper\, we examine a stylized prediction market comprised of Bayesian agents whose inferences are based on different models of the underlying environment. We explore a basic tension—the differences in models that give rise to the possi-bility of trade generally preclude the possibility of perfect information aggregation.\n\nJoint with Larry Samuelson UID:58628-14520010@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58628 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Economics,seminar LOCATION:Lorch Hall - 301 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190415T103609 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190419T163000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Comp Lit Colloquium DESCRIPTION:Prof. Xiaobing Tang and Megan Berkobien will each present. \n\nMeg's presentation will be on her work Belaboring Translation: A Manifesto for the Emerging Translators Collective. \n\nProf. Xiaobing Tang's presentation is titled The Ocular Turn\, Misty Poetry\, and a Postrevolutionary Imagination: Rereading “The Answer” by Bei Dao.

In this paper\, I will argue that we find in W.E.B. Du Bois' 1940 book\, Dusk of Dawn\, the fascinating drama of one of history's greatest theorists of race experiencing and displaying the pull of both types of social constructionism. Focusing especially on the sixth and then the fifth chapters\, I will argue that this pulling in different directions is\, on the one hand\, meant to lead us to confront the complexity and mysteriousness of race but also\, on the other hand\, ultimately able to suggest to us the path toward properly balancing political and cultural dimensions in our theorization of race.\n\nSponsored by the Race\, Gender\, and Feminist Philosophy reading group (a Rackham interdisciplinary working group)\, the Philosophy Department\, and the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies.

This talk will present new work exploring this connection across scales of space and time\, seeking to address the general question of how life and Earth co-evolve. At the microbial scale\, lab experiments illuminate mechanisms of nutrient acquisition from minerals\, including how specific molecules and biofilms allow microbes to dissolve minerals and “feed” on them in the process. In tropical forests of the Amazon basin\, concentration-discharge relationships in small catchments provide hints about how ecosystems that tightly recycle nutrients may be “leaky” during storm events\, an effect provisionally attributed to the permeability structure of tropical soils that controls hydrological response. Lastly\, over the timescales of mass extinctions\, global biogeochemical modeling reveals how the evolution of marine calcifying organisms may have changed the way that the planet responds to global-scale carbon cycle perturbation\, perhaps providing one mechanism for explaining apparent correlations between large igneous provinces and mass extinctions. Considered together\, these distinct studies have commonality in terms of how organisms and ecosystems shape their relationship with the geological world around them.

Droughts\, floods\, eutrophication\, and poor manure management not only undermine the security of our food system\, but they also pose physical\, regulatory\, and reputational threats to the financial performance of the food industry. While many of these companies -- and their investors -- have demonstrated growing awareness of water stewardship as a business imperative\, others have stagnated\, failing to assess their exposure to water risks or set goals to source their commodities more sustainably. I examine how water risks have already had substantial financial impacts on the industry and highlight the efforts of institutional investors to motivate companies to address these risks. Through an analysis of past and forthcoming editions of Feeding Ourselves Thirsty -- a benchmarking of the water risk management efforts of over 40 food and beverage companies -- I review the strategies used by leading companies to enhance the resilience of their agricultural supply chains.\n\nJacob London is an Associate at Ceres\, a Boston-based non-profit organization advocating for sustainable investment\, business practices\, and public policy. As part of the Water & Agriculture program\, his work aims to mobilize food and beverage companies to address water risks in their agricultural supply chains. In this role he conducts research to improve investors' understanding of the financial risks associated with global water stress\, and supports shareholder engagements focused on water and agriculture. He is the co-author of the forthcoming edition of Feeding Ourselves Thirsty: How the Food Sector is Managing Global Water Risks\, due for release in September 2019.

Traditionally\, these highly approximate methods lack explicit\, rigorous terms for electrostatics\, polarization\, dispersion\, hydrogen bonds\, and other interactions\, and they often rely on pre-determined parameters to capture the a priori understanding of the structure. In order to address this deficiency and capture a more complete understanding of the structure\, we have developed a fully automated approach for macromolecular refinement based on a two layer\, QM/MM (ONIOM) scheme implemented within our DivCon Suite which has been \"plugged in\" to two mainstream crystallographic packages: PHENIX[1] and BUSTER. This implementation consists of one or more \"region layer(s)\" characterized using linear-scaling\, semi-empirical quantum mechanics\, coupled with a \"system layer\" encompassing the rest of the protein described with a molecular mechanics functional[2].\nArmed with a more accurate tool\, we not only gain a better understanding of overall protein:ligand structure\, but we can also use X-ray data to correctly determine active site tautomer/protomer states[3] and water site locations. \nIn this talk\, we will discuss these methods and explore their impact in the context of binding affinity prediction and structure-based drug discovery.

Cardinal\nMusic Direction by Catherine A. Walker\n\nSweeney Todd is a musical melodrama set in the 1840s based on an allegedly true tale. Released from prison for a crime he didn’t commit\, Sweeney vows revenge on the world for the loss of his family. With the assistance of his unhinged landlady Mrs. Lovett\, Sweeney reaps vengeance through his barbershop that is at once horrifying and exhilarating. Mrs. Lovett’s brilliant idea of how to deal with the aftermath of Todd’s handiwork makes her pie shop and the barber’s chair the most popular place in London. Will Sweeney’s obsession prevent him from recognizing a chance of salvation or will madness overwhelm all? \n\nOpening on Broadway in 1979\, Sweeney Todd was the second collaboration between Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler\, following their success with A Little Night Music. The show won eight Tony Awards\, including Best Musical\, Score\, and Book. Sweeney has been revived multiple times on Broadway\, adapted into a motion picture\, and is currently playing Off-Broadway in a new immersive production. Sondheim’s sublimely gruesome and funny musical features one of the most thrilling scores in musical theatre and includes such favorites as “A Little Priest” and “Not While I’m Around\,” along with the opening song “The Ballad of Sweeney Todd.” Attend the tale—if you dare!
