Wicked Tavern Tales
Looking for a little frightful and grisly theater to highlight your Halloween season? If so, don’t miss the Carroll College production of “Wicked Tavern Tales.”
The play begins one dark evening, as the tavern keeper at The Hell’s Hound, a desolate pub in an unknown town, called for last rounds. The tavern keeper and his daughter were first asked by the patrons to tell a ghost story. They respond that people are scarier than ghosts and proceed to spin three different tales, enacted by the cast.
“Wicked Tavern Tales” written by Greg Oliver Bodine in 2007 is directed by Carroll Improv Director, Michael McNeilly, BFA. “This is a really unique experience for people. We get to bring reality of evil to come to pass and to explore it,” said McNeilly.
The tales are from the short stories of the late Edgar Allan Poe, including Cask of Amontillado, The Tell-Tale Heart and The Black Cat. All three tell different stories of evil, death and drunkenness in the mid-1800s.
“Wicked Tavern Tales” will perform October 16-18 and 23-25 at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday evenings and at 3 p.m. on Sunday, October 19 and 26.
This play is recommended for high school age and older. Tickets are $10 for general admission and $8 for students and seniors.

Frisbee Debut
Carroll had their Ultimate Frisbee debut on October 4-5, at a tournament in Missoula featuring regional teams from Utah, Idaho, Washington and Montana.
“We didn't win any of our games, which was to be expected as we have never done anything like this before, but we did play way better then I expected us to,” said sophomore and team captain Bryce Thomas.
Noteworthy for the tournament was that the Saints fielded the only two females in tournament play. Sophomores Sidney Bryn and Becky Bishop both deserved praise for dominant play against male-only teams.
The Saints tournament roster included:
Bryce Thomas - Sophomore (captain)

Distinguished Scholar Lecture Series: "The Great Calculus War: Newton Versus Leibniz, Oct. 23, 7 p.m., 101/202 Simperman/Wiegand Amphitheatre, Carroll College
One of the most amazing events in the history of science was the great way over who invented calculus. This pitted two of the most eccentric and strange geniuses of all time against each other. Isaac Newton developed his theory of gravity and laid the foundations of modern physics. Gottfried Leibniz invented early calculators and pioneered binary mathematics, which lead to the development of modern computers. Both of them claimed to invent calculus, and their claims set off a century-long war of words between their supporters. How did this happen? How did these great geniuses come into conflict? How did those fault lines shape the development of science over the following centuries? Join Dr. Kelly Cline to learn the strange and amazing story of these two geniuses and their war over calculus.
The event is free and the Helena community is encouraged to attend.
"Lee Metcalf's Legacy of Conservation" Lecture, Oct. 23, 7 p.m., Sage Room, Corette Library, Carroll College
Montana Historical Society photograph archivist Matthew Peek will examine the role of Montana Senator Lee Metcalf in the origins of the modern conservation movement and the passage of the 1964 Wilderness Act from 1953 to 1964. Peek will discuss Metcalf's role in President Lyndon B. Johnson's "Great Society" program, which culminated on September 3, 1964, with the signing of the Wilderness Act. As one of the original sponsors of early versions of the Wilderness Act in 1956-1957, Metcalf did more than any other single U.S. congressmaan to bring about the act's passage.
The event is free and the Helena community is encouraged to attend.
