Amarillo College invites the community to its next Chautauqua: Conversations About Be-ing Human event, “Losing Your Religion (or Not)?,” from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 19 in the Oak Room in the College Union Building on Amarillo College's Washington Street Campus. This thought-provoking discussion will explore the evolving role of faith in a rapidly changing world—how people are questioning, reshaping, or reaffirming their beliefs in the face of modern culture, community, and technology.

Amarillo College will celebrate art, culture, and remembrance during its 23rd Annual Day of the Dead Art Show, opening with a public reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30 in the Common Lobby of the Amarillo College Washington Street Campus.The exhibition honors the traditional Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos, a colorful and heartfelt celebration of life and memory. The show features original AC student, faculty, and community artwork inspired by themes of remembrance, heritage, and connection.

The exploration of complex family dynamics and relationships is a thematic element in John Patrick Shanley’s Italian American Reconciliation.  This gritty, bittersweet romantic comedy will be brought to life Feb. 20-23 at Amarillo College.  “I saw this show at one of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festivals that we go to every year,” said Monty Downs, director, and AC theatre instructor. “I thought it was a lot of fun.  I then learned it was written by Shanley (Moonstruck and Doubt) and liked it even more.”
