How do you draw a picture of something you’ve heard about but never seen? How do you see it in the first place?This problem has bedeviled scientists for centuries. Today, we look for things like black holes and gravitational waves. Five hundred years ago, people tried to understand mysterious ocean creatures—like whales.Join an exhibition curator for a tour of Monsters of the Deep to see how sailors, scholars, and everyday people turned monsters into mammals.

The MIT Life on Stage Theater (LOST) fall production of the play Moonchildren, by Michael Weller. This play from the author of Split and Loose Ends explores the rootless 60's generation of free-love and protest. Five male college seniors and their housemates have no purpose in their lives. They march against the staus quo and taunt the "pigs". One feels genuine emotion at his mother's death from cancer, one romance dies and another is aborted. Ultimately, they realize their lives are as empty as the establishment they protest so vehemently against.Attendance free to all! Come see in Kresge Little Theater fromthe 16th to the 18th of October.
