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 week, join Fruit Paunch and guests Third Wheel Improv for the “126th Annual 24 Hour Show” – you guessed it, twenty-four whole hours of comedy, beginning at 2pm Tuesday and ending 2pm Wednesday. And if 24 hours of improv still isn’t enough for you (really?) be sure to catch Third Wheel’s senior show, Are Women Funny? at 8pm Monday in the Lerner Black Box. (RSVP on the Facebook page.)
- Columbia SHARP’s 8th Annual Spring Concert is this Tuesday, at 10 PM in Lerner 555. Grab your $10 tickets for soulful tunes, good vibes, and last appearances by some of SHARP’s graduating seniors.
- Orgo Night Spring 2019 (or rather, 6969). Thursday. Midnight. Butler Library. Be there and happy, or home and annoyed by all the noise.
Off Campus:
- This week, check out The Public Theater’s free, Mobile Unit performance of Shakespeare’s (according to my high school teachers) most psychoanalytic comedy, The Tempest. Check the page for dates and tickets!
- Fans of 17th century female composers, listen up: Sacri Musicali Affetti, a concert in honor of Barbara Strozzi (1619-1677), goes up this Friday at 8 PM in the Church of St. Francis Xavier. Come see a stellar international ensemble perform works by one of the most inventive, visionary composers of her time. Student tickets $25.
