Noises Off
7:30 p.m.Nov

7:30–10:00 p.m.
Called “the funniest farce ever written,” Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On. Slamming doors, on and offstage intrigue, and an errant herring all figure in the plot of this hilarious, high-energy comedy. Mixing mockery and homage, Frayn heaps a hilarious melée of stock characters and situations into his side-splitting play-within-a-play.
Noises Off is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

We invite you to join us at our inaugural Korean Foundation-UO Pacific Northwest Korean Studies Forum.
The Korea Foundation–UO Pacific Northwest Korean Studies Forum brings together scholars, educators, and researchers from across the Pacific Northwest to explore the past, present, and future of Korean Studies in the region. Hosted by the University of Oregon with support from the Korea Foundation, this gathering seeks to foster new connections among institutions across the Pacific Northwest while highlighting the region's longstanding intellectual, cultural, and transpacific ties to Korea.
Through interdisciplinary flash talk presentations, collaborative conversations, and strategic planning workshops, the forum aims to strengthen regional partnerships, encourage the sharing of resources and expertise, and build a sustainable network for Korean studies. By bringing together scholars working across the humanities, social sciences, language education, and public engagement, we hope to create new opportunities for collaboration and help position the Pacific Northwest as a vibrant center for innovative Korean studies scholarship.
We warmly welcome participants, students, and community members to join us in this collective effort to advance Korean studies and deepen understanding of Korea's place in our interconnected world.
If you are interested in attending, we request that you register using our forum website, which also features our digital program, list of speakers, and directions to the Crater Lakes South room. Registration is free, and refreshments will be provided throughout the forum.
