Newfoundland novelist, short story writer, and playwright Michelle Butler Hallett—as part of the Winter’s Tales Authors’ Reading Series—will give a public reading in on Tuesday, March 15, 7:30 p.m. at UPEI in Main Building’s Dawson Lounge, Room 520. Butler-Hallett has said that the “mystery of suffering” compels her to create rich and powerful fiction. Her new novel is set in England in 1593, and focuses on Christopher Marlowe, the greatest English playwright of his era and a major influence on Shakespeare. The novel explores faith, duty, love, and politics, and the difficult choices which Marlowe and all of us face. The reading is sponsored by the UPEI Faculty of Arts and The Canada Council for the Arts. Refreshments will be provided and a reception and book signing by the author will follow. 

Saint Dunstan University's Institute for Christianity and Culture is happy to present the final "Theology on Tap" of the Winter Term.  Dr. Rankin Sherling will conclude this year's series with a talk on "Bishop Robert Barron as Today's C.S. Lewis."  Dr. Sherling is an Irish historian with a continuing interest in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition.  Please join us at the Pourhouse (189 Great George Street) for a wonderful evening of fellowship and discussion!
