Free Theater: The Laramie Project
Missing the theater? UW-Green Bay Theatre is back and will be bringing you their latest play, The Laramie Project, from April 29 – May 2. This is a full production, staged and filmed, then streamed to your computer or device. While tickets are free, you will need to reserve one to receive the streaming link.
In 1998, the murder of gay college student Mathew Shepard rocked the country. This hate crime in the small town of Laramie, Wyoming, is the basis of The Laramie Project. Based on interview with the townspeople, this production probes the depths of hatred and bias towards the LGBTQ community.
Directed by Professor Rebecca Stone-Thornberry, the play was written by Moises Kaufmann and members of the Tectonic Theater Project.
You may reserve a free ticket for any available day, then watch it anytime within the viewing period. Please note that each ticket is good for one viewing only, so if you want to watch it again, you’ll need to reserve another ticket.
Visit the UWGB theater website to request a ticket.
“What Were You Wearing?” Exhibit Still Open
Just a reminder that the “What Were You Wearing?” exhibit runs through April 29th on the Marinette campus in room M-109. View the exhibit anytime between 8:00 a.m. – 4:40 p.m., Monday through Friday.
The “What Were You Wearing” exhibit provides a tangible response to one of our culture’s most pervasive myths, namely, that if a person was sexually assaulted, they must have been wearing revealing clothing to “ask for” the attack. Exhibit outfits have been recreated from the stories of student-survivors.
If you need help or healing for sexual assault, please visit one of the following resources:

The Miracle Season: In 2011, the Iowa City West High School volleyball team was fresh off a thrilling state championship and the favorites to win again in the upcoming season.Then, a few weeks before school began, tragedy struck when the Trojans’ star player Caroline “Line” Found was killed in an accident, leaving the entire tight-knit community in mourning. Line’s teammates were too devastated to even step on the court without their beloved senior captain, but West High head volleyball coach, Kathy Bresnahan, helped the girls see Line would’ve wanted them to continue playing in her memory. Kelley, Line’s best friend, stepped in to take over her all-important role as setter and, despite a disastrous start to the season, eventually something miraculous happened: the Trojans started winning again. Against all odds, the team clawed their way back to the state tournament, giving them the chance to honor their fallen friend in the best possible way: by playing for another championship victory, just as Line had hoped for. Based on a true story, The Miracle Season is a simultaneously heartwrenching and feel-good film that reminds us all to stand tall in the face of adversity and, above all else, never give up. It’s definitely a tearjearker (I saw the movie in theaters when it was first released in 2018, and there wasn’t a dry eye in sight!), so make sure you’ve got some tissues handy. But every time I watch this movie, my sadness is far outweighed by feelings of joy, triumph, and utter inspiration. Available on Hulu and to rent on other streaming services. 
The Tuskegee Airmen: During WWII, the US Army launched a new program to recruit Black pilots to serve in combat, all of whom began their training at the air base in Tuskegee, Alabama. HBO’s The Tuskegee Airmen tells the story of the 99th Fighter Squadron, the first group of Black US fighter pilots to ship overseas and one of a handful that came through the Tuskegee program. While the 99th flew other missions as well, the film heavily features the 99th’s stint escorting bomber squadrons.
Bratz: The Movie: As a group of best friends enter high school for the first time, Yasmin, Cloe, Sasha, and Jade all have the intentions of remaining the closest they’ve ever been while completely owning their presence in high school. However, the principal’s daughter—most popular girl in school—Meredith Dimly, has a system she wants the school to run by, and is not open to change. This system is so effective that as soon as the girls join extracurriculars, they no longer have time for each other and lose touch.
The Karate Kid: When Daniel LaRusso moves from New Jersey to sunny Receda, CA, with his single mom, he feels like a fish out of water from the start. He manages to make a friend—blonde and beautiful Ali Mills—but her ex Johnny Lawrence doesn’t take it well. The two get into a fight over Johnny’s hamhanded attempts to win Ali back, and that’s when Daniel’s face learns that Johnny holds a black belt in karate from the local Cobra Kai dojo. Just as Daniel is about to take one too many blows to the head, the kindly maintenance man from his apartment complex, Mr. Miyagi, steps in and singlehandedly beats back Johnny and three of his black-belt friends.
Aquamarine: Teenage besties Hailey and Claire are trying to make the most of their last few summer days together before Hailey is forced to leave their small Florida town and move to Australia for her mother’s job. Then, late one night after a violent storm, they discover a shocking surprise in the local beach resort’s swimming pool: a mermaid! Naturally, the girls befriend the mystical creature, Aquamarine, who explains that she left home and has just three days to prove to her father that love exists, or else marry the man he’s handpicked to be her husband. Aqua sets her sights on Raymond, the handsome lifeguard who Hailey and Claire have been crushing on for years, and convinces them to help her get him to fall in love with her by offering them a wish, which they can use to keep Hailey from moving away. Unfortunately for the hopeful trio, a flurry of problems—like the major time-crunch they’re up against; a clique of sabotaging, blonde mean girls; and the slight problem that Aqua’s human legs turn back into a mermaid tail at sunset and if they get wet—means that accomplishing their mission will not be as easy as they’d hoped…
Imagine this: you’re a new security guard at this old pizzeria called Freddy Fazzbear’s Pizza.

See where this is going? Your tasks in Five Nights at Freddy’s are simple: watch them over the cameras, close the doors when they get too close, don’t lose power, and survive until 6 a.m. As an amazing first start to the FNAF empire, this game features crazy jumpscares, creepy audio, and an underlying plot story that is goosebump-inducing, which earns it the “All-Around Winner” verdict this week. Available from Scott Cawthon on Steam, as well as PS4, Xbox One, Android, IOS, and other platforms.

Annie Lucas’s world is entirely upended when her single father, a former baseball player whose dreams of an illustrious career in the majors were dashed by bone cancer, is offered the job of a lifetime. Soon, he’s the new pitching coach for the Kansas City Royals. Excited for the adventures ahead, Annie soon finds herself halfway across the country, winning races for her new high school’s prestigious track program and learning to navigate the strange do’s-and-dont’s of professional sports. Perhaps the biggest surprise to Annie, though, is the friendship that blossoms between her and Jason Brody, the Royals’ smoking hot nineteen-year-old rookie pitcher. Brody, with his rocky past and reputation as a ladiesman, should be totally off-limits. Not to mention, their relationship would be forbidden by club management, and Annie’s father would kill them both. But the longer the attraction between Annie and Brody simmers, the harder it becomes for them to ignore…and when they finally give in to their feelings, both know full well that if their secret affair is ever discovered, it could have disastrous consequences. Annie never would’ve guessed her move to Missouri would result in her falling in love with an up-and-coming MLB star, but when life throws her a curveball, she knows the only thing she can do is adjust her swing and hit it out of the park.
Released December 13, 2019, Harry Styles’s second studio album Fine Line is an absolute masterpiece of heart-felt and heart-wrenching songs. The album is broken up into four categories on the vinyl, and Styles revealed that this was intentional, to truly capture each phase of his feelings during the stages of a relationship. The first four songs are the initial feelings in a relationship, when both parties are very excited to be with each other and that infatuation is at its most prevalent. The second four songs are the rough patches in relationships, or the breakups. These four songs are all very powerful and emotional; the contrast of the acoustic piano in “Falling” and the acoustic guitar in “Cherry” is astounding, and both songs can nearly move me to tears. “She” is an epic and slow 70’s rock-electric guitar sound that just really makes you appreciate the band in this album. The third set of songs are more uplifting again, representing pulling yourself out of that depression that comes with a breakup, and truly making you optimistic to put yourself out there again. These songs are also perfect to blast in your car during the summer, with your windows down. The last song, “Fine Line” is perhaps the most emotional song on the album and truly does make me sob every time I listen to it. Filled with utterly angelic instrumentals and backing vocals, the lyrics in “Fine Line” emphasize the journey of self-love.
