Rooted in our Catholic and Benedictine tradition, we cultivate critical thinkers and compassionate leaders who engage new ideas, respect differing perspectives, and seek the common good. Through a distinctive liberal arts and professional education, Anselmians are prepared to lead and serve a changing world."

“Turns out what I like most about science is sharing it with other people. Teaching it, and sharing it with others. … It’s important to me that everyone can feel some connection to science and see that it is understandable, it is reachable, it is even doable.”

Neil Simon's Rumors is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud farce where nothing goes according to plan. When a prominent New York couple's tenth wedding anniversary celebration takes an unexpected turn, the evening quickly spirals into a whirlwind of mistaken identities, outrageous cover-ups, and escalating misunderstandings. As more guests arrive, everyone scrambles to keep the truth hidden - only to make the situation hilariously worse.
Join the Abbey Players for an unforgettable evening of laughter as one small misunderstanding snowballs into one spectacularly ridiculous night.
