For our inaugural 2023 Artist Residency, the Beard and Weil Galleries will be transformed into a studio workspace for two visiting artists, Bláithín Haddad and Adjua Gargi Nzinga Greaves. Haddad, who graduated from Wheaton in 2019, is working in printmaking and glass sculpture on ideas around immigration, belonging, and parasites. Greaves’ interdisciplinary practice is guided by metaphysics, network science, ethnobotany, and the granular analytics of poetic inquiry. She will be working with poetry, linguistics, and LEGOS this fall.

Set in Elsinore Castle, Denmark, the melancholy Hamlet learns of the tragedy behind his father’s death, as his father’s ghost tells the tale, and charges him to avenge him. Enlisting in the help of his true friend Horatio, he sets out to lay a trap for his Uncle Claudius, to expose his guilt and slay him. Does the burden weigh too heavily on young Hamlet? Is he truly feigning madness? Presented by Cafe Theatre and the Department of Theatre & Dance.
