Theatre Siena Opens
with “Children of Eden”
Theatre Siena at Siena Heights University
opened its 2010-11 season Sept. 30-Oct. 2
with the musical “Children of Eden.” Directed
by SHU Professor of Theatre and Speech Communications Mark DiPietro, “Children of Eden”
(photo above) is freely based on the biblical
story of Genesis. It is a frank, heartfelt and
often humorous examination of the age-old
conflict between parents and children. Adam,
Eve, Noah and the “Father” who created them
deal with the headstrong, cataclysmic actions
of their respective children. The show ultimately
delivers a bittersweet but inspiring message:
“the hardest part of love … is letting go.”

Reflections Winter ’11
The SHU Art Department hosted “Roberta
Paul: In Search of Lost
Time,” this fall as part
of the Griffith Visiting
Artist Series. The exhibition was in the Klemm
Gallery, and represented works that were from
larger bodies of her work produced since 1999,
a mini-retrospective. She created the earliest
work in this exhibition (above), a garbled
image of a clock, after her father, Peter Paul,
was diagnosed with a progressive neurological
disorder that would eventually leave him bedridden and cognitively impaired. Her clock
paintings were based on tiny drawings of clocks
that her father created at Paul’s request a few
years after her father had drawn similar images
as part of his medical diagnostic exams.
