Goodnight, Tyler is a poignant and unexpectedly humorous ghost story about memory, grief, and the fight for control over a legacy. After Tyler Evans, a young Black man, is killed by a police officer, his ghost lingers—desperate to be remembered for his life, not just his death. As his best friend, fiancée, grandmother, and others grapple with their own versions of Tyler, tensions rise over who gets to define his story. This moving contemporary drama explores love, loss, and the personal and political weight of remembrance.
“Goodnight, Tyler” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. http://www.concordtheatricals.com

When Billy the goat, Slim the pig, and Nell the cat overhear the Farmer and his Wife plotting to get rid of Donny the donkey, they rush to warn their friend. Dreamer that he is, Donny decides to escape and pursue his dream of becoming a famous musician in Brementown. Along the way, he’s joined by Minnie, a retired show dog, and later Nell, both eager to find a new future. As the mismatched group tries to make music together, their noisy efforts may not be music to the ears—but their journey is full of heart, humor, and second chances.
Produced by special arrangement with Plays for New Audiences.

The program is themed around nature and finding hope, peace, and joy. The concert will feature several selections of South African music as a nod to the November concert from guest artists Soweto Gospel Choir.
Featuring composers Jake Runestad and Zanaida Stewart Robles. Chamber Choir will also perform a student composition called “The Glade” by Theodore Hicks, who is completing his doctoral studies this semester!
Music by Ola Gjielo, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (honoring the 500th anniversary of his birth), Felix Mendelssohn, Jake Runestad, Melissa Dunphy, and Thabo Matshego.
Palestrina’s “Sicut cervus” and Mendelssohn’s “Wie der Hirsch schreit” form a coupling as settings of the same Psalm text (Ps 42, Like as the hart desireth the waterbrook…) in different languages and composed across a time span of roughly 250 years.
The Melissa Dunphy piece “I Took a Walk with Joy” featuring poetry by alum Mark A. Boyle.
Connecting to the campus visit of the Soweto Gospel Choir in November, Concert Choir will present Matshego’s “Ukholo lwami,” an arrangement of two traditional South African gospel songs.
