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 in Roone, ONYX Hip-Hop Dance group presents their Spring Showcase and NYC Intercollegiate Dance Festival, featuring hip-hop dance teams from across New York City to share the stage. Tickets $7.50 with CUID.
• The Theater Department’s 2019 Senior Thesis Festival begins this weekend with directing theses by Anna Sophia Moskowitz, Nick Hermesman, and Xander Browne. Come at 7 PM, Thursday through Friday, for a free taste of New York’s next generation of talented theater-makers.
• Columbia Pops orchestra is finally here with their Spring Concert, a fresh and fun selection of works from Harry Potter, Howl’s Moving Castle, Skyrim, and more. Head to Lerner at 8:30 PM Saturday and 11:30 AM Sunday for free admission.

Off Campus:

• Your off-Broadway recommendation for the day: The Brothers Paranormal, a play by Prince Gomolvilas, opens this weekend on Theatre Row.
