Everything from Shakespeare with a twist to the musical Oliver to a nationally known a cappella vocal group will be featured in the 2017-18 Acts, Arts, Academia performance and lecture series at Tusculum College.<\/p>\n

The Acts, Arts, Academia performance and lecture series is a program of Tusculum College Arts Outreach and supported by the late Dr. Sam Miller in memory of Agnes Ault Miller, Hearts for the Arts, the Tennessee Arts Commission, Arts Outreach and generous donors and volunteers.<\/p>\n

MO5AIC, who will be appearing in the auditorium of the Annie Hogan Byrd Fine Arts Building on campus, performs a unique blend of R&B, pop, rock, jazz, big band and Top 40 songs with a twist. Offering a different face of a cappella music, the five-man group performs with no instruments, using just their voices and microphones to create a full sound that has audiences frequently puzzled about where the band is.<\/p>\n

The Acts, Arts, Academia series will continue on Tuesday, Sept. 19, with \u201cBreakneck Hamlet,\u201d a whirlwind of a performance by Tim Mooney of the popular Shakespeare stage classic. The performance will be in the Behan Arena Theatre, located in the lower level of the Annie Hogan Byrd building.<\/p>\n
