This provocative piece explores the nuances, flaws and humanity of a civil rights icon. In this fictional recount of the night before Dr. King's assassination, Hall uses grit, mysticism and magic to give viewers a peek into the turmoil and cost of his life. Audiences view him wrestling with life and fate. We see the price of being called for a purpose greater than you while dealing with the grief, pain and fear that results from the sacrifice and commitment.
“The Mountaintop” is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.

Dr. Zhiwei Liu will briefly introduce the biological background of teas and the tea plant, the classification of teas and how they are made, and how to properly brew different kinds of teas. You will be then taken on a journey back into the Chinese history to find out how this little plant has become integrated in the Chinese culture, from poetry, to daily life of the average folks, and finally to become a government-controlled merchandise, and how these little leaves led the Middle Kingdom into a position to defend itself against invading western powers and eventually opened itself to the rest of the world, although reluctantly. While you immerse yourself in the fascinating stories of tea, you will be invited to taste several of Dr. Liu’s favorite teas directly from China.
Offered by the Academy of Lifelong Learning; instructed by Dr. Zhiwei Liu, hosted by The Cafe, Klehm Hall. Seating is limited - registration requested at 217-581-5114 by 10/28.

Sugar: Can't Live With It, Can't Live Without It | Why has sugar become such a hot topic of conversation recently? Is sugar really that bad for us? What do we really know about sugar, or need to know, if we are concerned about our health or want to live a healthier lifestyle? With so much information available from so many sources, it can get confusing. This candid talk about sugar will attempt to answer these common questions, sort out some of the confusion, and investigate where sugar might be hiding in foods you think, or the industry leads you to believe, are good for you.
Offered by the Academy of Lifelong Learning; taught by Karen Reed. Free and open to the public; registration requested at 581-5114.
