7 p.m.—BABSON PLAYERS PRESENT: THE MUSICAL COMEDY MURDERS OF 1940 BY JOHN BISHOP
Richard W. Sorenson Center for the Arts
Babson Students $3, General Admission $5
The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop (in which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door Slasher”) assembles for a backer’s audition of their new show at the Westchester estate of a wealthy “angel.” The house is replete with sliding panels, secret passageways, and a German maid who, apparently, is four different people—all of whom figure diabolically in the comic mayhem which follows when the infamous “Slasher” makes his reappearance and strikes again and again! Treat yourself to a sidesplitting good time and a generous serving of the author’s biting, satiric, and refreshingly irreverent wit. For more information, visit the Babson Players Web site. Purchase tickets in advance at the Reynolds Information Desk. Tickets also will be available at the door.
10 p.m.–Midnight—FAMILY WEEKEND CABARET
Roger’s Pub, Park Manor Central
The Richard W. Sorenson Center for the Arts invites you to an evening filled with student and staff musical performances. Enjoy a complimentary wine and Samuel Adams beer tasting along with great late night appetizers.
