October 29 at 7 p.m. and October 30 at 7 p.m.  NT Live: FRANKENSTEIN  (Two versions:  Cumberbatch as Creature and Miller as Creature) presented by ECU SCREENS and Sigma Tau Delta 

Frankenstein enjoyed a sell-out run at the National Theatre, and went on to win awards including the 2012 Olivier Award for Best Actor for Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller. 

Oscar-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire) directs a sensational production with Benedict Cumberbatch (Star Trek: Into Darkness, BBC’s Sherlock) and Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting, CBS’s Elementary) alternating roles as Victor Frankenstein and his creation. 

Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. 

Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale. 

Estimated run time: 2 hours, 20 minutes

Presented by ECU Screens in the Estep Room of the University Center.

Ataloa Theatre    

           The Richter-Uzur Duo will perform a concert of music for guitar and cello on Saturday, November 15, 2014 at 7:30 pm in the Ataloa Theatre on the East Central University campus. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students.  The concert is sponsored by the Ada Arts Council and the Oklahoma Arts Council. Tickets may be purchased at Gem Jewelers, 101 W. Main St., Ada.  For more information, go to http://richteruzurduo.com/  or contact Ada Arts Council President, Mark Hollingsworth at 580-559-5424.

            The Richter-Uzur Duo plays a whimsical mashed-up blend of classical, world, and rock music. Viktor Uzur (cello) and Brad Richter (guitar) are each master musicians of the highest caliber with global solo careers, major international awards and intensive training from two of the world’s most lauded musical institutions (The Moscow Conservatory and The Royal College of Music respectively). While developing into classical virtuosi as students, Brad and Viktor cut their teeth in rock bands — Viktor as an electric guitarist and Brad as a guitarist and singer. They also delved into folk and world music but eventually put those interests aside as they pursued their classical concert careers. Since the RUDuo was founded in 2005, they have discovered a way to blend all of the musical styles they love and audiences have as much fun listening to the results as Brad and Viktor have playing.

            The Richter-Uzur Duo has played hundreds of concerts in North America, South America, Europe and Asia and has a rapidly widening circle of communities around the globe that invite them back again and again. In the U.S. the RUDuo is perhaps best known through its regular appearances on NPR’s Performance Today — North America’s most listened to classical music program - as well as frequent national and international broadcasts on the Armed Forces Radio Network and programs such as PBS’s WoodSongs and NPR’s Classical Guitar Alive, which named their debut CD ‘Best New Release’ in 2010.

            Viktor Uzur and Brad Richter are outspoken advocates for the arts and arts education, Brad as the Executive Director of Lead Guitar, a not-for-profit that establishes guitar programs in public schools nation-wide and Viktor as professor at Weber State University and director of the Bonneville Chamber Music Festival. Whenever possible the Duo includes school or community outreach events with their performances.
