tion by University Theatre that explores love and gender identity, set in the Wild West.
The play, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl, contains only three characters. Mary, played by Elsa Bernauer, is a housewife who has been with her husband Crick, played by Jake Gillespie, since they were both children. When Mary meets Red, played by Isabella Hampton, a wrangler who is described as having "always wore a money clip instead of carrying a purse," she reconsiders what she thought she knew about romance.

“[The play] starts a conversation that is, unfortunately, very hard to have in our society today,” said Bernauer. “Many people are scared to be themselves because of the pressures that society has put on them. It's so important to see a gender fluid character comfortable in a show, because that could make a world of

Director and assistant professor Jane Barnette said she was drawn to the show because of the difficult topic it tackles.
"Late, A Cowboy Song" is the first show Barnette has directed since coming to the University three years ago.
Barnette and Bernauer both said that they want the show to be a learning experience for audience members.
The 80-minute play also features original music by graduate student Brock Chart.
"Hopefully this show will be a way to start conversation and potentially change the stigma behind certain aspects of gender and love," Bernauer said. "It would be amazing to make a difference in at least one person, even if it just causes them to say 'Wow, I never thought

Tunes at Night to showcase Ricky Roosevelt

Student Union Activities and KJHK's upcoming iteration of Tunes at Night will feature rapper Jarred Morris under the name Ricky Roosevelt at the Lied Center Pavilion on Oct. 26.
Melissa Yunk, the live music coordinator for KJHK, said the event usually showcases alternative music and this is the first time a rapper will be performing.
"For as long as I have been here, we have not had a rapper perform at Tunes at Night," Yunk said. "We recently had an R&B artist
perform, so we would like to continue to include artists from other genres."
In a previous Kansan story, Morris, who is also a University student, said he planned to turn out a lot of work during 2016 and he has done just that. He released an album, "Double R Volume 1: Visions" this summer and has been working on other music in addition to that. Morris said he's content with the progress he's made.
"I'm doing the things that I want to do and I'm just trying to build on that," Morris said. "I have a couple things in the works. Of course it won't be finished
For his show on Oct. 26, Morris said he's going to provide a very entertaining and memorable experience. He is an active performer and likes being all over the place. Yunk said he often goes into the crowd and interacts with those in front of him. Morris also said he hopes to showcase a wide range of his music.
In addition to the songs from "Double R Volume 1: Visions," Morris will be performing songs from a project he's working on that he

plans to release at the end of the month.
"My producer, alcalh, and I are dropping a project at the end of the month, so we're gonna be playing a lot of stuff from that," Morris said. "I have a few songs that will probably never be recorded or anything like that. I definitely will have a song or two from Double R Volume 2. It's definitely going to be a little bit of everything, just to add some variety."
For Morris, Tunes at Night is an opportunity to spread the Ricky Roosevelt name and sound among University students, as well as Lawrence as a whole.
But the grind does not end there: Morris has big things planned for the future.
"Actually two days after Tunes at Night, I have another show at Replay and that's going to be a Halloween-themed event," Morris said. "Since I have had a lot of shows within the third quarter of 2016, I may just take time to work on my music, as opposed to performing."
The show begins at 8 p.m. and lasts for about an hour. Refreshments will be provided at the show. For more information, visit suaevents.com.
