MTV Unplugged was a television series that showcased the biggest musical artists of the ‘90s. These musical performances were filmed and recorded in front of small audiences and as the title implies, the bands played acoustic instruments. The sparse stage set-ups, subdued lighting, and acoustic arrangements made for some of the most memorable live performances of the decade.Mallrats Presents: MTV Unplugged will capture all the essence and nostalgia of the best of those shows: the stage, the lighting, including Eric Clapton, Alanis Morisette, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and many others.Presented by the Viterbo University Fine Arts Center.

THINGS ARE MOVING TOO FAST.

An emotionally powerful and intimate musical sprinkled with humor, The Last Five Years tells the bittersweet tale of a brief marriage between two young artists. The storytelling is non-linear: Cathy, a struggling actor, starts her tale at the end of the marriage, working backwards through the timeline. Jamie, a literary prodigy, begins his at the onset of the relationship. The two narratives intersect on their wedding day before diverging again to arrive at the beginning, and end, of their five years together.

FUNNY. SHARP. SMART.

Henrik Ibsen’s 1879 masterpiece A Doll’s House ends with a positively shocking one in its time: Nora Helmer, a housewife, leaves her husband and children behind in order to gain her independence. Now, Fifteen years after she infamously slammed the door on her stifling domestic life, she has returned with an urgent request. Before she can get what she needs, however, she must reckon with the family she left in her wake. Lucas Hnath’s funny, probing, and bold play is at once a continuation of Ibsen’s complex exploration of gender roles and a clever contemporary take on the struggles inherent in all human relationships.
