Curl up with a mug of this and watch some horny German teenagers.

New York City is packed with amazing culture and inspiring art, but sometimes it’s difficult to break the Morningside-bubble and experience it all first-hand. “Where Art Thou” is a weekly guide to interesting and notable lectures, events, and performances for the literary/musically/theatrically-inclined on campus.

On Campus:

  • This Thursday through Saturday at 8 PM (plus a 2 PM Saturday matinee), CMTS Presents: Spring Awakening, the Tony Award-winning rock musical about late 19th century German teenagers coming of age and discovering their sexuality. Get there early to buy rush tickets.
  • Also Thursday through Saturday, see the Barnard Theater Department’s production of Colony Collapse in the Minor Latham Playhouse. From the event page: “Narrated by the ghost of a missing 15 year-old girl, and woven together by a chorus of parents of lost and missing children, Colony Collapse explores the cost one family is willing to pay for a second chance at living.” Tickets from $5.
  • What’s that chill in the air? It’s time for Baccantae a capella’s final concert of the semester, Brr-chantae! Head to Sulzberger Parlor this Friday at 8 PM for holiday classics, new arrangements, and a preview of Baccantae’s upcoming project.
  • Columbia’s all-inclusive dance group and largest performing arts club, Orchesis, has been gearing up for a big one: head to Roone this Friday at 8 or 10:30 PM for their Fall 2018 concert, “Versace on the FloOrchesis”. Tickets $6 with CUID.

Off Campus:

  • This Thursday, 7 PM at the Morgan Library & Museum, join MacArthur Fellow/award-winning artist Julie Mehretu and author Jonathan Safran Foer for La Conversazioni: Films of My Life, a conversation about the films that have inspired their lives and work. Visitors will also get access to the exhibit It’s Alive! Frankenstein at 200. Tickets free with CUID.
  • Join the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) for BAM Pregame, a special set of performances for students. For just $10, you get snacks, drinks, and your choice between 3 enthralling works of acrobatics, opera, dance and physical performance: Humans, Kreatur, or Greek.
