“Hot ‘N’ Throbbing” Play
8 p.m. | Fine Arts Building
Sponsored by UAA Dept. of Theatre and Dance
A gripping play written by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Paula Vogel, takes a real and surrealistic look into domestic violence and the pervasiveness of sexuality in mainstream culture. This play pits Charlene Dwyer, now divorced, trying to support her two children by writing erotic screenplays against Clyde who can barely accept the fact his ex-wife doesn’t need him, even though it was his abuse and alcoholism that drove her away.  Toss in hormonally overcharged teenagers, and then layer on a screenplay deadline that Charlene desperately tries to meet, and you have Hot ‘N’ Throbbing. This play is for mature audiences who can expect to be amused, saddened and left with plenty to talk about on the way home. 

Kendall Hockey Classic: Canisius vs. Alaska Anchorage
8:07 p.m. | Sullivan Arena
