Oh, the complexities of life. Never have they been more intimately (or truthfully) explored on film than in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” a mythic, mesmerizing saga imbued with a sense of melancholy about the fleeting nature of life, love and happiness.

The Eagles of Death Metal, the side project of Queens of the Stone Age front man Josh Homme, has always been everything the Queens are not. Whereas the sound of the Queens is a bit deranged and macabre, the Eagles of Death Metal seem to just wanna have some fun. “Heart On,” the third release by the EoDM, keeps up the fun-loving tradition while also working in new directions.

History books and classes tell us about Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in Germany and the terrible deeds he committed during World War II. But the majority of people know very little about his life before he became Führer. The early part of Hitler’s life – the experiences and failures he had, and the choices he made – is the subject of “A.H. (Before he Changed History),” a play written by Israeli actor/writer/director Yagil Eliraz that will have its American premiere here at ONU’s Freed Center this Saturday.

As the second show of the Children’s Series hosted by the Freed Center for the Performing Arts, “The Velveteen Rabbit” not only brings to life a favorite children’s story, but it also encourages literacy and has the potential to enrich children’s lives.

The Freed Center for the Performing Arts will present “A.H. (Before he Changed History),” a one-man show about the life of Adolf Hitler. Beginning with Hitler’s early days and childhood, and ending with his death, the show will illustrate not the just the monster history knows, but the real man behind it.
Returning to the project are two ONU alumni, Bryan Beckwith and Lindsay Esser, who have been involved with the show since its Israeli director, Yagil Eliraz, decided to bring the show to America.

“Left foot green!” the spinner calls out above the din.
The five males left on the double-long Twister board lunge toward the empty green circles.
