Blues for Mister CharlieBy James Baldwin

Directed by Ron HimesEdison Theatre on the campus of Washington University

In this searing drama by James Baldwin, sex and racism explode in a small Southern town when a bigoted store owner kills a young black man and dumps his body on the side of the road.

Blues for Mister Charlie, James Baldwin’s second play, is a tragedy in three acts. First pro-duced and published in 1964 it is dedicated to the memory of Medgar Evers, and his widow and his children, and to the memory of the dead children of Birmingham. The play is loosely based on the Emmett Till murder that occurred in Money, Mississippi, before the Civil Rights Movement began. By restricting the white community in the play to just one dimension of human nature, as society has done to the black community, Baldwin forces the audience to acknowledge the complex-ities of being fully human. We are compelled to confront how we strip humanity from others by the simple act of shrinking one’s complexities as a human being down to a one dimensional caricature.

Blues for Mister Charlie runs February 20, 21, 27 & 28 at the Edison Theatre located on Washington University campus. The Samuel B. & Charles B. Edison Theatre houses numerous theatrical performances done by students and professional touring troupes each year.

FISH FRY FRIDAYSFISH FRY FRIDAYSWhat Is Lent?Lent is the season of fasting and self-denial observed by many Christians in the days preceding Easter Sunday each year. The word “Lent” comes from a word meaning “lengthening days,” with the Lenten season consisting of forty fast days as days lengthen in early spring. Since Easter’s date moves each year based on the lunar calendar, Lent’s dates vary from year to year. However, each year it begins on Ash Wednesday, which occurs sometime in February or early March.

Where Did Lent Come From?Lent is neither commanded nor implied in the Bible. Instead, it is a tradition that developed slowly over the first several centuries of church history. During the first three centuries of the church Christians often prepared to celebrate Easter with a “short preparatory fast of one, two, or more days.” At about 190 AD the church father, Irenaeus, “knew nothing of any Easter fast of forty days,” but did mention Christians fasting for shorter periods of time before Easter. These early, pre-Easter fasts were used to mark the time between the death of Jesus and his resurrection, and to prepare one’s heart for Easter Sunday.

Why Do People Fast at Lent?In the Roman Catholic tradition Lenten fasting has been seen as a form of penance to the Lord for past sins. Christians from a variety of traditions see it as a time of prayer, repentance, and self-sacrifice for the purpose of focusing their attention on Christ and His sacrifice in the days leading up to Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Lent begins on a humble note on Ash Wednesday when people make their way to church to receive an imprint of ashes on their forehead in the form of a cross. “These are to remind us of our mortality and our dependence on God” as well as the sacrifice of Christ, which makes it possible for sinful mortals to go to God.[6]

Why Forty Days?Even after Christians had come to agree on a forty-day period of fasting before Easter, there was little uniformity in how churches counted the days. In Jerusalem Lent lasted eight weeks and people fasted Monday through Friday for a total of 40 fast days. In other places people fasted for six weeks, six days a week, making 36 fast days.

Today Lent lasts six and one half weeks, with exactly forty fast days between Ash Wednesday and Easter. Sundays have never been included as fast days, since celebra-tion rather than fasting should characterize every Sunday—the day Jesus rose from the dead.

What Do People Give up for Lent?Like much about Lent, what people give up and how often they abstain has varied throughout history and from person to person. For many years, Roman Catholics were called to fast six days a week. A fast was defined as eating only one full meal per day. Even during these meals they were to abstain from eating all animals (except fish) and animal products, such as milk, eggs, or fat. “This general prohibition of eggs and milk during Lent is perpetuated in the popular custom of blessing or making gifts of eggs at Easter, and in the English usage of eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday.”[8] The name “Fat Tuesday” may also stem from “a custom of frying foods before Ash Wednesday in order to use up all the animal fat in a household.”

In the twentieth century the Catholic Church lightened the fasting requirements for Lent. Today, Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 are instructed to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday and to abstain from meat other than fish on all the Fridays of Lent. This helps explain McDonald’s increased marketing for its Filet-O-Fish sandwich every Easter season, and why many restaurants in predominantly Catholic parts of the country hold a Fish Fry on Friday nights (up until the mid-twentieth century, Catholics were instructed to abstain from meat every Friday of the year).

While meat is the most common thing left out of one’s diet, people choose to give up all kinds of things during Lent. For example, some choose to abstain from something they enjoy such as chocolate, sugar, coffee, or television for the entire Lenten season. Others choose to fast from all food one day a week in order to give themselves to prayer and meditation on the work of Christ.

NAVIGATING THE WEST: GEORGE CALEB BINGHAM AND THE RIVER EXHIBITSunday, February 22, 2015 Until Sunday, May 17, 2015 At The Saint Louis Art Museum In Forest ParkBringing together George Caleb Bingham’s river paintings and his river-related drawings and prints, this exhibition presents these masterworks in a new light—as part of Bingham’s larger consideration of the river and life along it. Beyond the genre subjects, the exhibition includes Bingham’s early portraits featuring rivers and even a riverboat captain, allowing for an examination of the ways in which proximity to the Missouri and Mississippi rivers shaped the artist’s career and art production even before he turned to his iconic river workers. The importance of early Missourians as Bingham’s first audience and earliest supporters will also be explored. http://www.slam.org, (314) 721-0072
