In The Big Bad Bullysaurus, a palentologist digs deep into their imagination to tell a dino-tastic fable about a not-so-terrifying T-Rex. Using lessons about empathy and a little Jurassic-sized humor, a story is crafted about how we all need to find ways to get along and how there's more than what meets the eye to both dinosaurs and humans! The Big Bad Bullysaurus by Tommy Jamerson is a prehistoric comedy appropriate and meaningful for all ages of warm-blooded and cold-blooded creatures!

Tickets: Ages 12 & under just $3, everyone else $5

Purchase tickets at wku.showare.com or by contacting the WKU Fine Arts Box Office at 270-745-3121 or boxoffice@wku.edu.

big blue by: Marissa Alaniz

Two women-- Alicia, a naval officer and Viv, an oceanographer-- are on a mission from the US military to find the source of a mysterious deep sea humming. But when their tiny submersible gets knocked loose, they must contend with their respective land-bound griefs, tension with each other, and the fear of the inevitable bottom of the ocean.

The Thomas Paine Panther by: T.J. Walsh

Every year, The Thomas Paine Panther publishes its infamous "Best of/Worst of" issue, but this year, it's been banned. Determined to publish it anyway, the rebellious student staff uncover a shocking secret about their paper's sponsor that forces them to confront their values, their ethics, and the true responsibility that comes with journalism.

Adults $8 / All Students $5
