‘Mr. Smith’ comes to Pike PAC Nov. 2

On Saturday, Nov. 2, at 8 p.m. the Pike Performing Arts Center will present the worldrenowned San Francisco Mime Troupe's "Mr. Smith Goes to Obscuristan," an original political musical satire driven by the events following September ll lh . In "Mr. Smith" the president of the United States has a problem: his well-earned reputation of using the War on Terrorism to advance corporate interests is getting in the way of his actual foreign policy, namely, advancing corporate interests. The administration needs to convince the world that it puts democracy before profits, and it needs an unimportant place to use as an example. Sq, when the president-for-life of the tiny country of Obscuristan announces first-time-ever elections, the U.S. sends 9/11 fireman hero Jeff Smith as its official advisor. Smith, a true believer in America as a beacon of freedom in a dark world, vows to

help Obscuristan achieve American-style democracy. But when oil is discovered and an Obscuristani presidential candidate promises to keep the oil wealth at home, priorities change. Admission is $16-$18 adults, $14-$16 seniors, and $13-$15 students. The event is part of Spirit and Place, a civic festival taking place throughout central Indiana.

Center in Broad Ripple on Saturday, Nov. 2, from 7-10 p.m. The central theme will be the depiction of female sexuality in art. Kinsey was a biology professor who spent his entire career at Indiana University. The Bloomington institute that
