Join us on Thursday, April 25, from 6:00-7:15 p.m. in Celeste Theatre as the Timothy C. Linneman Memorial Lecture on the Environment presents Ramón Cruz and “The Movement for Climate Justice: Recent Successes, Threats, and Urgency”.

Recently, the sustainability and environmental justice movements have achieved major successes that have been decades in the making: the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement, Justice 40 Initiative, the Inflation Reduction Act. Still, the future has never been as gloomy as it is today. We are at a defining moment to overcome the present challenges and step up our fight to meet the greatest threat humanity has ever faced. Ramón Cruz will be sharing his views on these events as a participant in civil society organizations and as the former president of the Sierra Club, the nation’s largest and oldest environmental organization.

Join our resident cabaret artist and FAC Theatre Company Music Director, J. Chang-Tablada on Friday, April 19, 5:30 p.m. to hear songs from Rent and learn more about the incredible impact that Jonathan Larson made on the American musical theatre landscape. Enjoy our themed drink, the Bohemian Cocktail. $15 ($10 for FAC members) and includes your first drink.

Larson lived in poverty, waited tables, and worked seven years to bring his rock opera Rent to the stage — only to collapse and die the night before previews were to open at the Off-Broadway New York Theater Workshop. Rent became an enormous success and achieved Larson’s ambition of updating musical theater and making it relevant to younger audiences.

New at the FAC!

CC faculty and staff can enjoy buy one, get one free drinks in Deco Lounge every Friday from 4:30-5:30 p.m.! Just show your Gold Card to the bartender. Generously sponsored by Bon Appetit.
