A 成人头条 Connoisseur Series event, Roger Rees in 鈥淲hat You Will" is a one-man show that mixes the greatest soliloquies of William Shakespeare with comic accounts of stage disasters. Rees, a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company for 22 years, was also in 鈥淐heers鈥� (as Kirstie Alley鈥檚 character鈥檚 boyfriend, Robin).
 
Phillip Black, tuba, will perform the first Faculty Artist concert of the month, followed mid-month by faculty artist Scott Oakes, bassoon. Lynne Davis, organ, will perform for Wednesdays in Wiedemann and guest Anna Myeong will perform in the Rie Bloomfield Organ Series. The month in music also includes showcase concerts for Jazz Arts, Concert Band, Concert Chorale and the Percussion Ensemble.

The Kansas Dance Festival always ranks highly among November鈥檚 most stellar events. This year鈥檚 show follows on the heels of dance director Nick Johnson and instructor Sabrina Vasquez taking, by special invitation, their Alithea Mime Theatre troupe to the International Mime Festival in Warsaw, Poland.

The School of Performing Arts will also present 鈥淭he Burning Room,鈥� winner of WSU鈥檚 Playwriting Competition, and Mozart鈥檚 鈥淐osi fan tutte.鈥�
