The University of Evansville Theatre continues its 2025–2026 season with NATIVE GARDENS, by Karen Zacarías. This production opens at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 20, in the May Studio Theatre. Additional performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 21 and 22 and at 2 p.m. on Nov. 22 and 23.

NATIVE GARDENS is a sharp and contemporary comedy that turns a backyard dispute into an exploration of privilege, culture, and community. When a young Latinx couple moves into a long-established neighborhood, a disagreement over a property line with an older white couple quickly grows into a spirited clash of values, perspectives, and expectations. With humor and empathy, NATIVE GARDENS examines what it means to be a good neighbor—and how even the smallest conflicts can uncover deeper questions about connection and understanding.

NATIVE GARDENS is directed by Antonio Cortés Román, a senior performance major from Metepec, Mexico. Emily Proctor, a junior theatre studies major from Jeffersonville, Ind. serves as the scenic designer; Marguerite Winzinger, a junior directing and dramaturgy major from Bordentown, N.J., is as costume designer; Bailey Piontkowski, a junior design and technology major from Fort Worth, Texas is the lighting designer; Owen White, a junior performance major from Valley Center, Kan. is the sound designer; Olivia Roy, a junior stage management major from Henderson, Ky. serves as the stage manager; Ben Lodge, a junior performance major from Oakland Park, Kan. is the dramaturg; Visiting Assistant Professor Liz Jenkins ‘05 is the co-cultural coordinator with Saray Rodríguez Hernández, a junior theatre management major from Caracas, Venezuela; and Quinn McGaugh, a senior performance major from McAlester, Okla. is the technical director.

The cast features Kiara Cantu, a sophomore performance major from Edinburg, Texas as Tania; Daniel Perez, a senior performance major from San Antonio, Texas as Pablo; Rylie Sudduth, a junior performance major from Versailles, Ky. as Virginia; and Amoren Newton, a junior performance major from Denton, Texas, as Frank.

Clark Kimberling, UE Professor of Mathematics, has a chapter in a new online book entitled Polynomials - Exploring Fundamental Mathematical Expressions, published this month by IntechOpen. The chapter, "Polynomial Points in the Plane of a Triangle," analyzes special objects (points, lines, and curves) in the plane of an abstract triangle.  If the side-lengths of the triangle are variables a, b, c, then the special objects have homogeneous barycentric coordinates that are polynomial functions of a, b, c. The book can be accessed at https://www.intechopen.com/books/1003926, and from there you can download each of the eight chapters.

Congratulations to Alexander Bastien, a pre-doctoral mathematics major, on this outstanding achievement! His summer research project, mentored by Dr. Omid Khormali, an assistant professor of mathematics at UE, led to two major publications in the field of discrete mathematics.

A paper titled "On Link-Irregular Labelings of Graphs" was recently published in the well-known journal Australasian Journal of Combinatorics (Vol. 93 No. 2, 2025, Pages 408–421), and a second paper, titled “On the Regularity, Planarity and Edge Bounds of Link-Irregular Graphs,” has been accepted in the prestigious journal Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory.

In this research, in addition to several interesting results, a conjecture that had remained open in graph theory was also disproved, marking an exceptional scholarly contribution for an undergraduate researcher.

This work originated from Alexander’s UExplore Undergraduate Research Program project, which supports hands-on, faculty-mentored research experiences at the University of Evansville.

Congratulations again to Alexander Bastien for this remarkable accomplishment!

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Connor Turnbull and Keishon Porter scored 20 and 18 points, respectively, to pace the University of Evansville men’s basketball team in an 84-76 loss to UT Arlington on Tuesday evening at the Ford Center.

A strong offensive performance saw the Mavericks shoot 62.2% from the field on their way to the victory. Turnbull led all players with 20 points on a 9-of-15 shooting effort. Porter scored 18 points while Josh Hughes finished the night with 11. Turnbull led UE with five boards while Leif Moeller was credited with six assists. Raysean Seamster and Tyran Mason led UTA with 19 points apiece.

UT Arlington jumped out to an early 4-0 lead before a 3-pointer by Alex Hemenway at the 16:58 mark tied the score. Leif Moeller connected from downtown on the ensuing possession to give the Aces their first lead of the evening at 7-4. Keishon Porter followed up with the next six points to cap a 13-2 run that gave Evansville a 13-6 edge with 13:23 remaining in the half.

Just past the midway point of the period, the Mavericks umped back in front at 16-15 as the teams swapped the lead a total of eight times in the stanza. Inside of five minutes remaining, the game was tied at 22-22 before UTA scored six in a row to jump back in front. UE knotted the score at 32-32 with 1:18 remaining on a triple by Porter before the Mavericks grabbed a 35-34 edge at the break.

Despite shooting 63.2% in the opening 20 minutes, UTA led by just one as they turned the ball over 16 times. Raysean Seamster had 15 points in the half while Porter led the Aces with 10.

On the first possession of the second half, Moeller found Turnbull for a dunk that returned the lead to UE. The teams exchanged the lead six times over the first five minutes of the second half. A triple by Josh Hughes gave UE a 47-46 edge, but a 7-0 run by UTA put them up by six. Hughes followed up with a 3-point play to chop the deficit in half before another 3-pointer by the Mavericks solidified a 61-54 lead with 11:21 on the clock.

Up 63-58, UT Arlington scored 10 in a row to take their largest lead of the night at 15 points with 6:31 remaining in the game. Over the next two minutes, Evansville cut the gap to 11 on multiple occasions, however, UTA answered each time. With just over three minutes remaining, a 3-pointer pushed the lead back to 14.

Hemenway’s second triple of the game made it an 82-72 score inside the final minute and a layup by Moeller a few seconds later cut the gap to nine. In the end, UT Arlington fended off the challenge to win by a final score of 84-76. UTA shot 62.2% while UE finished the game at 46.2%. The Mavericks finished with a 35-17 advantage on the glass.
