On November 22 UT plays against Missouri. But before the game the College of Arts and Sciences presents the Pregame Showcase, featuring Kathleen S. Buckley, Associate Professor, Department of Theatre. The title of her talk is “Let’s Play! Shakespeare for Civilians”.

The Pregame Showcase is a public lecture series scheduled two hours before each home football game at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The program features 30-minute presentations by all-star faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences on topics related to their field of expertise, followed by a 10- to 15-minute question-and-answer period. The carefully timed programs allow football fans to have plenty of time to enjoy the lecture and still get to the stadium by kickoff.
Football games attract a larger and more diverse audience to campus than any other single activity, and everyone is welcome to attend the Pregame Showcase, including fans from the opposing teams.
The Pregame Showcase starts 2 hours before kickoff in the University Center Ballroom (Room 213) and is free and open to the public. A reception for our guests will follow the program.
