About this event

After stumbling upon an outdoor production of a Shakespeare play in Manhattan, Long Island landscaper Bob Malone returns home inspired to write a play about his troubled marriage. He hires two reluctant New York theater professionals to spend a week at his home and stage the play in his garage with a cast of colorful locals. The Groundling is a comedy exploring the meaning of the final moments of Shakespeare’s Loves's Labour's Lost and how the power of theater can affect the most unsuspecting, and perhaps most deserving, of us all.   

Playwright: Marc Palmieri
Director: Edie L. Norlin

The play is presented through special arrangement with Dramatist Play Service, Inc.

About this event

“Masked for Battle: Mardi Gras Indian Culture Confronts Covid” explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Mardi Gras Indians, also known as Black masking Indians. The Mardi Gras Indians are groups that parade on improvised routes through their neighborhoods each Mardi Gras, displaying elaborately designed costumes, also called suits, that are hand sewn with beads and feathers. 

This is the third film in a series of documentaries directed by Mike Yearling (Yearling Pictures) and produced by students at Ohio State Newark that gives voice to participants in a time-honored Black parading tradition in New Orleans. Yearling, faculty and students produced “Spirit Leads My Needle: The Big Chiefs of Carnival” in 2014 and “It’s Your Glory: The Queens of Carnival” in 2016, which was nominated for a 2016 regional Emmy. 

Location: Reese Center Room 145

5:30 p.m.: "It's Your Glory: The Queens of Carnival" film screening
6 p.m.: Refreshments
6:30 p.m.: “Masked for Battle: Mardi Gras Indian Culture Confronts Covid” film premiere

This film was funded by The Ohio State University at Newark, The Ohio State University Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme, The Ohio State Newark Division of Arts & Humanities, and the Engagement Scholarship Consortium.

About this event

Cultural Bearing, Civic Engagement, and the Mardi Gras Indian Queens

Virginia Cope, PhD, associate dean, associate professor of English
Tiyi Morris, PhD, associate professor of African American and African Studies

Sometimes called Black Indians, the Mardi Gras Indians are African Americans who mask (parade) in New Orleans during Carnival wearing elaborate handmade suits of beads and feathers. Dating back to the mid-19th century, the practice is deeply rooted in African traditions of dance and music.

The Mardi Gras Indian culture reflects Black peoples' attempts to resist the psychic brutality of dehumanization and marginalization and to create structures for individual and community development beyond their social, economic and political confines. Although less visible, the women who serve as queens are central to the tradition and the community's survival, serving as culture bearers and other mothers.

Presented in partnership with Multicultural Affairs and Black History Month.
