The year is 2090, and only one faculty remains at McMaster. The Faculty of Careers is every student’s dream—a guaranteed pathway to employment, minus all of that critical thinking that was so popular earlier in the century. Frances, an incoming first year, finds herself dissatisfied with the dreary Faculty of Careers and its listless student body. But when she goes digging for answers in McMaster’s past, she uncovers a secret that threatens to destroy the university itself.

McMaster Science Musical presents:
Mac to the Future
 
Percy and Charlie are first-year students beginning their new lives at McMaster University, but their excitement is quickly interrupted by the heated rivalry between the most polar opposite programs: Chembio and Biochem. This long-running battle has been going on for years, but a recent scientific discovery by Dr. A. Minnit has provided a solution that could finally end this feud once and for all- time travel. 
This show is filled with friendship, drama, fights galore, and science, of course. Will the Chembios and Biochems mess up the timeline for good, or will they be able to get Mac To The Future?

His first short film, Farmly, directed by Jamie DeWolf, won Best of Texas at the Literally Short Film Fest, and the USA Film Festival.
In the spring of 2001 Buddy left his position as the executive assistant at a biomedical firm in Gig Harbor, WA, sold or gave away everything he owned, moved to the small town of Honda Civic, then set out to live for a living. His aim was to tour North American poetry venues for two years. He did not stop. Wakefield, who isn’t concerned with what poetry is or is not, delivers raw, rounded, disarming performances of humor and heart.-----------------------------------An Evening With Buddy Wakefield at Alumnae TheatreMarch 24th, 2026.

Like its ambisextrous namesake, Buddies’ in-house bar and performance space Tallulah’s Cabaret does it all. It’s throbbing club nights and community tap dance lessons. High-concept drag and low-stakes open mics. Go for pre-drinks but stay late for the post-show discourse—maybe even spark that next collaboration. With local brews and sober options that aren’t an after-thought, Tallulah’s is the come-as-you-are bar for old friends, new lovers, partiers, poets, and curious passerby. See you under the chandeliers.

Join artist Matt Nish-Lapidus to explore the SuperCollider music programming language. We'll play with building synthesizers, sequencing, and the generative possibilities of working with code-as-music.
Here’s what you should bring to participate: some kind of laptop with a physical keyboard (not a tablet or touchscreen). Headphones are optional. To save some time, before attending the workshop you can download and install Supercollider on your laptop—it is free to download! 
What to expect during the workshop: 
Matt will talk about the basics of coding: how to type your code, run it, and make simple sounds. During the first part of the workshop you will follow along with Matt and replicate coding building blocks in order to create and sequence an interesting synthesized sound.
The workshop will conclude with self directed time for participants to play with their code, test out ideas, and ask Matt for input.  
This workshop is tailored for beginners, but can also give experienced SuperCollider users some insights into the fundamentals of the language, and an opportunity to gather with like-minded artists and community members.
All prices inclusive of HST
