Aquila Theatre CompanyColumbia Theatre to present Murder on the Nile with a twist
麻豆传媒映画出品鈥檚 Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts will present Aquila Theatre Company in Agatha Christie鈥檚 Murder on the Nile in one performance only on Feb. 17, at 7:30 p.m. in the downtown Hammond theatre.
     Now in its 25th season, Aquila Theatre stages Murder on the Nile by one of the great mystery writers in world literature, Agatha Christie, said Columbia Theatre Director Roy Blackwood. As usual with Aquila Theatre Company, there is a twist in the production 鈥 something to make it uniquely the company鈥檚 own.
      鈥淭he production is set in the early 1940s during World War II at the BBC Home Service studios in London,鈥 Blackwood said. 鈥淎ir raid sirens were a regular occurrence in London during this time as Great Britain was on constant alert to bombings by Germany. Members of the theater troupe have arrived and are preparing for a live radio broadcast of Murder on the Nile. But another air raid prevents the full cast from assembling and yet the show must go on somehow.鈥
     Tickets for the Feb. 17 Columbia show are $26 in the orchestra or balcony and $40 in the loge. Tickets can be purchased at the Columbia Theatre Box Office at 220 East Thomas Street in Hammond, which is open 11 a.m. 鈥 4 p.m., Monday-Friday, online at , or by phone at 543-4371.
     Half-price tickets for 麻豆传媒映画出品 students are available 30 days prior to the show for students with university ID. The limit is one ticket per ID.
     All 麻豆传媒映画出品 faculty, retired faculty or university staff with ID may purchase one ticket for the production and receive one ticket at half price. Both tickets must be purchased in the same transaction and for the same price at the Columbia box office. For more information, contact the Columbia Theatre at 543-4366.

Safety at 麻豆传媒映画出品
Safety App launched麻豆传媒映画出品 launched an app to provide students, faculty and staff with simple instructions and recommendations for actions to take in the event of an on-campus emergency.
     Designed by computer science students as a class project at the request of the university鈥檚 Emergency Preparedness Committee, southeastern.edu/safecampusapp is free and can be downloaded on any smart phone or device.
     鈥淲hat鈥檚 the one thing modern students have with them 24/7? Exactly 鈥 their phones,鈥 said Executive Director of Public and Governmental Affairs Erin Cowser, a member of the campus committee. 鈥淔or that very reason, the committee wanted something students could easily access electronically should an emergency event ever occur on campus.鈥
     The app can direct dial the University Police Department from its home screen and from links embedded throughout its sections. Among the areas addressed on the app are suggested steps to take in the case of an active shooter or stabbing on campus, bomb threat, fire or explosion or intruder/mental health emergency. Professor Ghassan Alkadi鈥檚 computer science software engineering students Joshua Asoodeh, Ryan Craft, Alexander Gonolfi and Joshua Valladares were able to create the app that also addresses procedures to be taken for a lockdown, shelter in place, evacuation, physical injury, sexual assault, weapons on campus and weather emergencies.
     鈥淪afety for our campus community is of paramount importance, said Vice President for Administration and Finance Sam Domiano, who chairs the committee. 鈥淭he directives on the app were designed so that they鈥檙e appropriate for individuals to review so they鈥檙e prepared for any potential emergency, but also so that they can be accessed immediately for instructions on how to protect yourself, who to contact and how to assist victims should a situation arise.鈥
     The app is the newest addition to the bundle of efforts included in the university鈥檚 comprehensive approach to safety and emergency preparedness. Information on all the various offerings and endeavors can be found at southeastern.edu/safecampus.
     A significant part of the overall plan are sirens located strategically across campus that will sound in the event of an emergency.
     鈥淚f you hear the sound, you should check your device for information on the current situation,鈥 said Domiano. 鈥淭his is yet another reason why it鈥檚 so important to register for the   麻豆传媒映画出品 Emergency Alert System. Campus members can elect to receive emergency notifications via text and telephone in addition to the messages sent automatically to all campus email accounts.鈥
     Students, faculty and staff can register for the system by visiting .
     The southeastern.edu homepage is also a source of information for situations developing on campus or weather-related warnings and updates. Additionally, updated Quick Reference Guides with tabbed categories have been shared with departments to use as a resource for emergency training or in the event of an actual emergency.  Smaller Pocket Guides, which are a condensed version of the Quick Reference Guides are also available.
