The 37th season of the Lyceum Series will continue with several programs this month.

The first program on Friday, January 7 is also part of the 2004 season for the Harry Jacobs Chamber Music Society and will feature pianist Robert Plano at 8 p.m. in the Maxwell Performing Arts Theatre. Also, beginning on January 7, work by Patrick Dougherty will be on exhibit on campus.

Combining his carpentry skills with his love for nature, Mr. Dougherty’s installation art has evolved from single pieces on conventional pedestals to monumental scale environments. As part of his exhibit, he will give a lecture, Primitive Ways in an Accelerated World, on Tuesday, January 18, at 7 p.m., at the Morris Museum of Art. Mr. Dougherty will also give an informal lecture at the sculpture site on campus on Wednesday, January 26, at 2:30 p.m.

On Tuesday, January 11, the series will continue with an artist lecture by Helaman Ferguson. By combining his talent for mathematics and sculpture, Mr. Ferguson has found the rare ability to express his mathematical conceptions as art and find a common ground between the two. His lecture will be from 7-9 p.m. in 170 University Hall.

A campus tradition will also return this year when the National Players take the stage at the Maxwell Performing Arts Theatre. Touring for its 56th consecutive season, the group will stage productions of The Oedipus Cycle and Romeo and Juliet. Shows are scheduled at 2:30 and 7 p.m. Thursday, January 20, 2:30 and 8 p.m. Friday, January 21, and 8 p.m. Saturday, January 22. Admission is free with a valid ASU ID.
