Celebrate the Medieval Institute's 75th Anniversary at every home football game this year!

Join us this week for demonstrations of historical fencing and stage combat by Theatrica Gladiatoria. Founders Jen Pan and Joe Wright will demonstrate plays from historical fight manuals, featuring different weapon styles, including longsword, messer, and rapier. Ever wondered how historical duels compare to the swordfights you've seen in movies? These fighters specialize in applications of historical combat, staged combat, and stunt work!

Refreshments will be provided.
