The ONU theatre department will present “Romeo and Juliet” Sept. 27 through Sept. 30 in the Freed Center for the Performing Arts. Performance times are 7:30 p.m. Sept. 27 through Sept. 29, with 2 p.m. matinee performances on Sept. 29 and Sept. 30.
William Shakespeare’s classic tale of star-crossed lovers will come to life as young Romeo and Juliet become fortune’s fools when the war between their families forces them to sacrifice everything for the chance to be together. Generations collide as true love defies family expectations.
The current show at the Elzay Gallery of Art is titled “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights: International Posters on Gender-based Inequality, Violence and Discrimination.” Gallery hours are daily from 1–4:30 p.m.
“Crime and the Constitution” will be the theme of a panel discussion at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 19 in the large moot court room (room 129) in the Ohio Northern University College of Law. The event, which observes Constitution Day, is free and open to the public.
The discussion will take a multi-faceted approach toward the topic.

Ohio Northern’s Family Day drew several hundred parents and siblings to campus on Saturday.
One of the events was Bright Pink 5K Race for the Cure. Sixty-five runners participated. Their goal: raise $750 for the prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer. Kappa Epsilon, the student society of health-system pharmacists, and Zeta Tau Alpha, a social sorority, sponsored the race.
Other ONU Family Day activities included a fine arts exhibit, inflatables on the Tundra, and a tailgate.
Ohio Northern celebrated the Topping Out ceremony when the final beam was put in place for the Janes Lehr Kennedy Engineering Building on Thursday. The final steel beam was signed by campus leaders, alumni, and students.
