This early film by acclaimed Chilean director Pablo Larraín (No, Neruda) follows Mario, an alienated morgue worker who becomes obsessed with a burlesque dancer in the weeks leading up to Augusto Pinochet’s 1973 coup. As the bodies of victims start piling up in the morgue and the military pressures Mario and his coworkers to falsify the autopsy reports, will Mario hold on to his humanity, bend under the new regime’s pressure, or simply snap? Presented as part of the Spanish Film Club series with the support of Pragda and the Secretary of State for Culture of Spain. In Spanish with English subtitles.

Visit the region’s premier flea market, each Monday morning from March through December, at the Mayfield-Graves County Fairgrounds.

Learn to throw! This 8-week beginner pottery class builds essential wheel-throwing skills. Perfect for new and seasoned beginners.

8 Weeks

Tuesdays. Class Dates: 10/13, 10/20, 10/27, 11/3 11/10, 11/17, 11/24, 12/1

Instructor: Sara

It's true, throwing on the wheel is not as easy as it looks but with the right guidance, it can be incredibly rewarding. This 8-week class will focus on all the beginning techniques to center and form a successful pot on the wheel. Through group demos and individualized support, you will learn how to center, shape, trim, and glaze your pots. From mugs to bowls and possibly plates and tips on throwing taller and wider, you will learn the process of how to take a ball of clay and turn it into a functional piece of pottery from start to finish. Join studio potter Sara Ballek as she breaks down a thorough step-by-step approach to pottery making.

Wear clothes you don't mind getting on (it will wash out) and closed-toed shoes. For wheel work, skip jewelry, roll up your sleeves, tie long hair back, and keep nails trimmed for the best experience. Clay and all tools needed for the class are provided by Paducah School of Art and Design.

Author Vic Sizemore Selected as 2026 Paul Meek Literary Legacy Series Speaker

Award-winning novelist Vic Sizemore has been selected as the 2026 speaker in the Paul Meek Literary Legacy Speaker Series and will visit the UT Martin campus to meet with students and participate in UTM’s Young Writers’ Conference. The author will provide a public presentation about his work at 6:00pm on Thursday, November 12, in the Special Collections reading room in the Paul Meek Library. Copies of his books will be available for purchase and the author’s signature.

Sizemore, who teaches at Pellissippi State Community College near Knoxville, is the author of the 2025 Tennessee Book Award-winning novel God of River Mud as well as an essay collection (Goodbye, My Tribe) and a short-story collection (I Love You I’m Leaving). He is currently at work on a literary science fiction novel to be released in 2028. He has also published nonfiction pieces in Story Quarterly, North American Review, Southern Humanities Review, and other journals. Sizemore’s literary science fiction novel The Unborn Simone Gordon is forthcoming from Regal House Publishing in spring of 2028. It will be the inaugural title in their House of Kel imprint. He lives in the foothills of Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains.

Sizemore’s visit is supported by funds endowed by the family and descendants of Paul Meek, UT Martin’s chancellor from 1934 to 1967. The November 12 event is open to the public and will be held in the Special Collections reading room. A livestream of this presentation will be recorded and available at this site for later playback.

It’s a dark and stormy night, and our cast of characters has been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well, dead. So whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, Clue is a madcap comedy that will keep you guessing until the final twist.

This dinner theatre experience begins with a delicious meal served in the Anne P. Baker Gallery, setting the stage for a night of entertainment, suspense, and fun.

Presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals.

This is a community production. Open auditions will be held September 13.
