Babes in Arms Opens Tonight
They’ve been practicing for weeks. Now come see your classmates as they perform in the spring musical “Babes In Arms”. The show opens tonight and performances are at 7:00pm both this Friday and Saturday and next Friday and Saturday in the Florance Center. Tickets cost $15 for reserved seats, $10 for general admission, $8 for non-DeLaSalle students and senior citizens, and free for DeLaSalle students with your current student ID. To reserve tickets, click here and select the night if the show you’d like to attend.
Set at a summer stock theatre, a group of young apprentices mount an original revue they’ve created while dodging the underhanded attempts of the surly theatre owner to squash their efforts at every turn. Further complications are provided by the inflated ego of a hack playwright. Featuring the songs, My Funny Valentine, The Lady is a Tramp, Good Morning and more.
BeYOUtiful Meets Today
BeYOUtiful will meet again today at 7:40am in the Lasallian Ministry office. The topic for this month is sensible eating and exercise habits as well as disordered eating/exercise habits that can develop in teens. A big thanks to everyone who came out to the last meeting, we had some good discussion. We hope to see new faces on Friday – please bring a friend and, as always, there will be food.
