What's HapPENNing?
March 25, 2013 at 9:29 am
Well, it's the last full week of March, although Weather.com might indicate otherwise. Time is FLYING, Quakerz! So don't get burnt out, because Penn is a-bustlin' with events galore. Maybe your midterms are done! Maybe the Fling headliner will be announced! Two-thirds of the student body is likely in tech week for the myriad of performances happening this upcoming weekend. Let's take a look at what's going down on campus before the arrival of April and all its alcoholism.
Who? Student Sustainability Association at Penn (SSAP) When and where? Ongoing everywhere, through Greenfest on Friday Why? Environmentalism is sexy and the green lovin' doesn't end with St. Paddy's Day
Who? Hillel (obvi) When and where? Hillel, tonight through the rest of PESACH Why? God parted the red seas to help Moses lead the Jews to Israel (you can read about it in the Bible), so Passover is a BFD - class cancellations are not uncommon. Celebrate with seders tonight and tomorrow and something called Mega Shabbat on Friday, with performances by the Shabbatones and Bloomers
SPEC Art Gallery Presents: Guerilla Girls
Who? SPEC Art Gallery; Guerilla Girls When and where? Tuesday at 6pm in Meyerson Why? Anonymous feminist artist activists wearing gorilla masks FO FREE. Z-Braff and SNL's Kate & Vanessa aren't the only cool cats being brought to Penn by SPEC this week
Who? Philomathean Society When and where? The next five Thursdays - five weekly seminars from 7-9pm in Philomathean Halls (4th floor of College Hall) Why? Bizarrely elegant imbibing for those 21+ on a usually Bankers-filled campus
CityStep Presents: Battle of the Dance
Who? CityStep When and where? Thursday at 10pm at the Blockley Why? Frat pledge classes dancin' they booties off for a good cause
Stimulus Children's Theater Presents: Robin Hood
Who? Stim When and where? Thursday through Saturday in Houston's Class of '49 Auditorium Why? Cute kids' play, Men in Tights a possibility
Off the Beat Presents: Aural Sects
Who? OTB When and where? Friday (7pm) and Saturday (7:30pm) at Harrison Auditorium Why: Orgasmic co-ed a capella, or at least a raunchy pun
Spring Fashion Week: Welcome to the Dollhouse
Who? D2S/Penn Fashion Week When and where? Saturday at 8pm in Bodek Lounge Why? Not a Danity Kane album, but rather an opportunity to Miranda Priestly it up and purse your lips judgmentally
