Studium Generale kicks off
Peninsula College’s Studium Generale series presents 11 programs during the 2014 fall quarter. Community members are invited to attend the weekly presentations free of charge. Programs are held each Thursday from 12:35-1:25 p.m. in the college’s Little Theater on the main campus in Port Angeles.
The series will hold its first program on Thursday, Sept. 25, with a bilingual presentation of an original play by the Teatro Milagro theater group from Portland, Ore. The play, “Cuéntame Coyote,” is about two cousins crossing the border together who decide to find a “coyote” (a person who illegally smuggles border-crossers) to help them make their way to the United States and, hopefully, a better life. The play follows their experiences, both good and bad.
