Catherine G. Murphy Gallery welcomes new director and exhibition
St. Catherine University welcomed a new gallery director to campus over the summer, Dr. Kara Carmack. Dr. Carmack has her doctorate in art history and has curated exhibitions by Chuck Bowdish, Lisa Corinne Davis, Pat de Groot, Shirley Kaneda, Lucy Liu and Ruth Miller, among other artists.

5 Questions with Actor Antonio Teodoro
Ask the academics how to understand Antonio Teodoro’s character in Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett’s mysterious, mythic play, and they’ll waffle about his very existence: Is the boy even alive?

Teodoro has his own thoughts on his character and his brief yet significant dialogue. (Spoiler alert: He thinks the boy is real). Audiences can decide for themselves.
