As you can see and read, Augsburg can lay claim to quite a few individuals with talent. A Street. Acrylic on canvas. By Akiko [to A Game of Boxes When I was a boy, my father taught me to play tennis the way he learned in the penitentiary. He used to say that tennis was a game of boxes. Your job is to keep the ball inside them. My father was the tournament champion at the state prison (aggravated assault if you must know, a bar fight, really). I sent three fuzzy new tennis balls over the 10-foot-chain-link that first day. My father cursed his shadow as i ran around to retrieve the balls. My technique was all wrong, I didn’t understand the angles. But my father played inside the boxes and worked the angles like no one I’ve ever seen. Prison must have been a game of boxes too. The box of outer walls, inner walls, box of the 6x9 cell, box that housed my pictures, box that he built around himself to survive. And outside, the box of the tennis court. A large black man with a raw swing powering the ball over the net. On the other side, my father giving chase, reaching out with his racquet and missing, smacking his chest into the concrete wall.

Show moreAntnnin James It 1977-1999 “Goodnight sweet prince" This past week we said goodbye to Anto— nio Rumpza. None of us wanted to. His suicide evoked powerful reactions of grief, horror, shock, and anger. Those who knew him were aware that Antonio suffered from depression. Depression is an illness. Unfortunately, in Antonio’s case, the illness was terminal. We grieve his departure from our stage. Perhaps it's because his life had so much impact, that his death has caused such pain. Complex. Cifter. Creative. Moody. Funny. Talented. Dramatic. Soft. Hard. Uncompromising. Fragile. Passionate. Alive. His roles were many. Father. Lover. Friend. Producer. Actor. Director. Stage Manager. Writer. Student. During his years at Augsburg, Antonio was an active participant in Theatre productions, choir, student government, and most recently one of the founders of the Augsburg Association of Student Filmmakers. His dream was to produce/direct films. In California. Originally an engineering major, Antonio transferred to Augsburg to follow his pas— sion for theatre. He played roles from Chekhov to Shakespeare. He worked be— hind the scenes as a stage manager and set builder. He was always taking on projects. He was fortunate to have been able to follow his muse. Before his death he had written a film script which will be produced this spring. Antonio gave us so much — the gifts of laughter, of tears, of love, of light. He could make magic happen. Augsburg be— came his extended family. There has been a death in our family. We loved him. We wish him peace. — Deb Redmond Professor of Speech, Communication, and Theatre r—~ from the March 12, 1999 Echo -u..--~--..--' .- G) lu- Show less

This infamous story, which is well mer 2,400 years old, is still able to touch modern lives and sensibilities. Written and produced during the Nazi oo cupation of France in 1944, the play deals with such (om— plex issues as resistance, collaboration, personal integrity and consciousness, and tyrannical government. Rather than the clear cut distinction between “heroine vs. \illain' that appears in Sophocle’s version, Anouilh's reinterpretatirin blurs the line. in this version Creon’s character is much more sympathetic. However, the best he has to offer An— tigone is a distorted perception of life. His idea of life and happiness involves bowing to tyrannical rule, however in- humane or offensive it may be. This portrait of life is one that Antigone will not accept. Determined to uphold iuse tice, her duty to the gods, and her family loyalty, she (l()(’s what she has to do. She buries her brother. And for that she is put to death. Haemon, unable to live without his love, kills himself, and his mother commits suicide soon after she hears the news. Robbed of his niece, his son, and his wife, Creon is left to face the world alone. In the end no one wins. No one, except perhaps Antigone, achieves true happiness. tlopt ' \ou grab the \\l]l‘(‘l \ou right lllt‘ \lllJI ill the lat e oi ii mountain of \\alei.'
