The trio of Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley, and James McNew returned as a quartet, reuniting with former member Dave Schramm (electric guitar), to revisit their beloved Fakebook concept: a mix of cover songs, “covers” of Yo La Tengo songs, and brand-new originals, 25 years after its introduction.</p> <p>This rare live set-up—Schramm on electric guitar, Kaplan on acoustic guitar, Hubley on a small kit, and McNew on upright bass—marks the first occasion of this configuration of Yo La Tengo on tour together. And, since it took them 31 years to get around to doing so, it could very well be the last. </p> <p>Tickets are $18 for the general public and $8 for seniors and 91ֱ�� College students, faculty, and staff. </p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Releases</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2016-08-23T12:00:00Z">Tue, 08/23/2016 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Communications Staff</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2354">Campus Life</a></div> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Reduced Shakespeare Company Comes to 91ֱ��</h1> <p>Anonymous — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 18:01:20 +0000</p> <span>Reduced Shakespeare Company Comes to 91ֱ��</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2016-11-07T13:01:20-05:00" title="Monday, November 7, 2016 - 13:01">Mon, 11/07/2016 - 13:01</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The <a href="http://www.reducedshakespeare.com/productions/the-complete-history-of-america-abridged/">Reduced Shakespeare Company</a> is a three-man comedy troupe that takes long, serious subjects and reduces them to short, sharp comedies. </p> <p><em>The Complete History of America (abridged): Election Edition</em> is a 90-minute rollercoaster ride through the glorious quagmire that is American history, reminding us that it’s not the length of your history that matters—it what you’ve done with it. The <a href="https://calendar.oberlin.edu/event/reduced_shakespeare_company_the_complete_history_of_american_abridged_election_edition#.V7siGGPVT0E">performance</a> will be 8 p.m. Thursday, September 6, in Finney Chapel. Tickets are $10 for general public and $6 for seniors and 91ֱ�� College students, faculty, and staff. </p> <p>Since its pass-the-hat origins in 1981, the “Bad Boys of Abridgment” have created 10 world-renowned stage shows, two television specials, several failed TV pilots, and numerous radio pieces, all of which have been seen, performed, and heard the world over. The company’s stops have included the White House, off-Broadway, the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, London’s West End, Seattle Repertory Theatre, American Repertory Theatre, and Montreal’s famed Just For Laughs Festival. They’ve also given performances in Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Malta, Singapore and Bermuda, plus countless civic and university venues throughout the United States, the UK, and Europe.</p> <p>The <em>Washington Post</em> says: “The Reduced Shakespeare Company cheerfully run riot over 500 years of our country’s history … they mine dozens of landmark events and trends for comic gold. The trio’s nimble tongues, rubber-limbed pratfalls, and obvious street-performer smarts make this a merry, nose-tweaking outing.”</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">News Releases</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2016-08-23T12:00:00Z">Tue, 08/23/2016 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Communications Staff</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2354">Campus Life</a></div> </div> </article> <article> <h1>"I Love Vinyl" Brings New York Talent Back to the 'Sco</h1> <p>Anonymous — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 18:04:25 +0000</p> <span>"I Love Vinyl" Brings New York Talent Back to the 'Sco</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2016-11-07T13:04:25-05:00" title="Monday, November 7, 2016 - 13:04">Mon, 11/07/2016 - 13:04</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>On November 15 and 16, 91ֱ�� will commemorate the 65th anniversary of the long-playing record and the Africana community’s Kuumba week creativity celebration with several events featuring the preeminent New York DJ collective I Love Vinyl.
