Please: The Philosophy of Humor Breidenbaugh 205 When something we say upsets someone else, we will often respond, I was only joking --as if the fact that you were joking means that you are not responsible for the content of the joke. We will look at two questions: (1) Were you joking, that is, what exactly is a joke? and (2) Are there ethical boundaries for jokes? With plenty of examples to tickle the funny bone and jump start the brain, a good time is guaranteed. Additionally, all attendees for this session will receive a free year s tuition for a family member... just joking. Steve Gimbel Professor of Philosophy

From the comic imagination of David Ives comes a timely take on The Misanthrope, one of the greatest masterpieces of French comedy. A gleeful truth-teller, Frank is a French aristocrat who despises his society of liars and doesn t mind telling them so. His well-aimed barbs wreak havoc in a world of pompous suitors and extravagant ladies, until rumors ricochet and alternative facts become reality. Outrageous gags and vicious couplets strike a hilarious balance of class and crass in this classic collision of Molière s biting satire and Ives s modern wit. Original music by Buzz Jones and directed by Christopher Kauffman. Free admission; reservations required.
