MICHIANA EVENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
1) Bethel College Theatre Department Presents "Electra"
2. Chapin Mansion Light Show Events

1) Bethel College Theatre Department Presents "Electra"
The Bethel College theatre department presents "Electra," by Sophocles, adapted by Frank McGuinness. Performances will be on Thursday, Nov. 13, Friday, Nov. 14 and Saturday, Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the Everest-Rohrer Chapel/Fine Arts Center – Auditorium.
In "Electra," when King Agamemnon returns from the Trojan War with his new concubine, Cassandra, his wife, Clytemnestra (who has taken Agamemnon's cousin Aegisthus as a lover), kills them. Clytemnestra believes the murder was justified, since Agamemnon had sacrificed their daughter, Iphigenia, before the war, as commanded by the gods. Electra, daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, rescued her young twin brother, Orestes, from her mother by sending him to Strophius of Phocis. The play begins years later when Orestes has returned as a grown man with a plot for revenge, as well as to claim the throne.
Tickets for this production can be purchased at BethelCollege.edu/Tickets or by calling the ticket office at 574.807.7080, Monday-Friday, 1-5 p.m. The cost is $10 for adults, $7 for students and seniors. Follow the Bethel College department of theatre on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to see updates on rehearsals and production for the play.
2. Chapin Mansion Light Show Events
November 22, 2014 5-6:45 pm A special event will take place inside the mansion including a gift shop and a talk at 5:30 pm in the dining room on historical Christmas lights and ornaments by Dave Bainbridge, retired Senior Curator at the Center For History in South Bend. Come join the party and see the mansion beautifully decorated! FREE
November 22, 2014 at 7 p.m. The public is invited to attend the FREE grand opening on the front lawn of the Chapin Mansion at 508 E. Main Street in Niles. Mayor Michael McCauslin will give a brief welcome and then he will 'flip the switch' to ignite the Chapin Mansion Light Show.
The exterior and grounds of the mansion have been furnished with LED lights that will flash and move to holiday music including some by local artist Tommy James. The program will be divided in-to four segments, each lasting 15 minutes. The segments alternate between outside music and light displays with a contrast of Christmas lighting inside the mansion between exterior segments.
