Final Weekend To See The Moors<\/strong><\/p>\n

If dark comedy and classic gothic horror had a baby, you\u2019d probably stare too. Come see the newest darling of the JCCC Theatre Department, <\/a>\u201c<\/u>The Moors<\/a>\u201d<\/u>, by award-winning playwright Jen Silverman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two spinster sisters and their maid, who may or may not have multiple personalities, live in boredom on the moors of Victorian England. But the arrival of a wide-eyed governess throws the home into disarray as she searches for a child she was supposedly hired to care for. But by whom? In this whacky, side-splitting tale of love and desperation, audiences are whisked away on a journey of secrets, schemes, and suspense\u2013 sprinkled with a touch of unexpected romance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Moors\u201d performs this coming weekend, Sept. 26-28 on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Bodker Black Box Theatre<\/a> in Midwest Trust Center. As an added bonus, JCCC Theatre shows are free to the public, so you can enjoy an evening of entertainment without breaking the bank. Seating is first come first served. Arriving twenty minutes prior to doors opening is recommended.<\/p>\n

Navigate JCCC\u2019s Campus<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the hardest parts about attending a new college is figuring out how the campus is laid out. Johnson County Community College is a larger community college, however, the way the buildings are sectioned off makes understanding easy.<\/p>\n

The campus is sectioned off by \u201cbasic education\u201d buildings, \u201cspecific education\u201d buildings, \u201ctrade skill\u201d education buildings, athletic buildings, and campus purpose buildings. On the official JCCC campus map<\/a> the \u201cbasic education\u201d buildings are colored light green. These buildings contain many general education classes<\/a> and some higher-level classes such as journalism, teaching, and history.<\/p>\n

The next most important set of buildings for students to learn are the \u201cspecific education\u201d buildings. These buildings are colored grey and are directly south and west of the \u201cgeneral education\u201d buildings. These buildings contain careers<\/a> like science, mathematics, and culinary.<\/p>\n

For students interested in trade skills, most of their time will be spent in the trade skill education buildings. These are colored yellow on the map and contain all kinds of careers<\/a>, such as HVAC, mechanic, plumbing, and electrical, to name a few.<\/p>\n

Fourthly, the athletic buildings are colored blue and are self-explanatory. These are sports stadiums or gymnasiums for students<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, the campus purpose buildings are also grey, however, these buildings are off to the west side of campus where most students won’t be. These buildings contain things such as warehouses, farms, and compost sheds.<\/p>\n

Overall, the JCCC campus may seem daunting upon first glance; however, with a little explanation, the campus is easy to maneuver.<\/p>\n
