Weekend Arts Roundup: Snarky Femme Fatales, Trippy Costumes, and Political Standup
Spring is here(!), and if you've tucked yourself away from campus's rampant allergens, we recommend venturing outside your little un-air-conditioned boxes to see one of this weekend's performing arts gems.First up: Claire Boothe Luce's "The Women," put on by BAC Drama from Thursday through Saturday at Theatre Intime. Co-Director Briyana Davis describes the play as "a really hilarious, escapist romp": perfect for a break from finishing theses and cramming in lab reports."I still crack up when I see it, and I’ve been laughing since I first read the script months ago," says Davis. "Although the show is set about half a century ago, all of the drama, gossip, and backstabbing that occurs onstage definitely happens on this campus too."With its all-female cast and intricate, who's-divorcing-who plotline, this play is all about the snark. "I hope my character DOESN'T relate to the general Princeton campus: she ranks queen on any bitchiness scale," said freshman Claire Greene, who plays sometimes-best-friend Sylvia Fowler.Tickets are $8 for students at the Intime Box Office, and are eligible for Tiger Tickets.Also up this weekend:
