Ianne Stewart ’15

Ianne Stewart ’15 performed a song called “Painting Now” by Alexander Sage Oyen as part of her friend Maybe Burke’s cabaret. The show was, according to Ianne, “shocking, funny, thoughtful, heartfelt, and deeply powerful.” To view the clip of Ianne performing, click here.

Thank-A-Giver Day (TAG Day)

Thank-A-Giver Day (TAG Day) is on Monday, February 11. This day provides the IWU campus community with the opportunity to thank the donors who support Illinois Wesleyan. IWU celebrates each year in mid-February because it marks the symbolic point during the academic year – about 70% of the way through – when tuition dollars run out and support from alumni and friends, our endowment, and external grants kicks in for the remainder of the year.

Thank you to all donors who help make the IWU experience possible!

Aaron Harris Woodstein ’15 & Luke McLoughlin ’15

Ticket sales are live for the play written by Aaron Harris Woodstein ’15: “The Fires of Nero: Rise of a Dictator” at Stage 773 in Chicago. The play was inspired by a paper Aaron wrote in Dani Synder-Young’s Theatre History class where he argued that one of the prominent characters Seneca wrote a play protesting the despot at the time, Nero. Now Aaron is doing the same as author and lyricist. Two other IWU alumi  are working on the project –  Sam Mullooly ’16 as Composer and Luke McLoughlin ’15 as Music Director.
Join Aaron, Sam, and Luke August 30th through September 9th, 2018. You can find ticket sales and more information about the full production/premiere below:
