Only one week to go, guys! Most of this weekend's events (even the theater performances!) clock in at under 2 hours, so they're perfect for a mid-evening study break to get you through the final push. Keep calm, carry on--and enjoy!
- First up, the New Play Festival--which runs this weekend and into next week--features two full-length original plays by Princeton seniors Mara Nelson-Greenberg and M. Cristina Luzarraga. The first play, Nelson-Greenberg's Make Belief, is directed by Princeton alum Suzy Agins and plays April 21, 23, 26 and 28; the second, Luzarraga's Due Unto Others, is directed by senior Sarah Pease-Kerr and plays April 22, 24, 27 and 29. All performances are at 8pm in Matthews Acting Studio at the Lewis Center for the Arts (185 Nassau). A $10 gives you admittance to subsequent nights of both shows (a steal!); student events eligible. The plays clock in at around 90 minutes.
- If high hilarity's more your thing, you can't get better than Clayton Raithel's production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, produced by the University Players in Whitman Theatre. Hysterical songs (teaser: "My Unfortunate Erection" is a highlight), an all-star cast and a great pit orchestra make this an unmissable show. Thursday-Saturday at 8pm, Friday at midnight, Saturday at 2 pm; Tuesday and Wednesday (April 26 and 27) at 10 pm. Student events eligible, tickets $8.
DiSiac's spring show, Blueprints, is sure to be an excellent way to relax and burn off steam in the final push to Lawnparties...and is also sure to sell out, so buy tickets in Frist ahead of time! Thursday at 8pm; Friday and Saturday at 6.30 and 9pm. Frist Film and Performance Theater (third floor of Frist), tickets $7 for students.- Cara Tucker's production of The Elephant Man at Theatre Intime has been getting rave reviews--only one weekend left, so get it while it lasts! Thursday-Saturday at 8pm, with a midnight show on Friday. Theatre Intime (across from the Chapel), tickets $8. Student events eligible.
- Feeling Biblical...or at least up for some beautiful liturgical music? The Glee Club's spring concert of Bach's St John Passion on Good Friday is bound to be beautiful, regardless of your religion. Friday at 8pm, Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall; student tickets $5, events eligible.
