If you have an event or a group that you’d like to be featured, send us an email at bwog.arts@gmail.com. We try to include as many events as we can find and fit, but reaching out to us is the best way to make sure your event is promoted to the student community and is covered by a staffer.
- Thursday, November 20, 7 pm, Friday, November 21, 7 pm, November 22, 2 and 7 pm, Minor Latham Playhouse (Milbank Hall)
- The Barnard Theatre Department presents Wolf Play by Hansol Jung, directed by Gisela Cardenas. Wolf Play centers a wild, young boy named Jeenu, who is tumultuously adopted online and fights with animal-like ferocity to carve his own path against a corporate world of binaries. His story of found-family and defiance brings “a ‘rewirement’ of the idea of belonging and the meaning of finding your pack.”
- Wednesday, November 19, Thursday, November 20, and Friday, November 21, 8:45 pm, Roone Arledge Auditorium (Lerner Hall)
- CMTS presents their Fall Mainstage, the Broadway classic Newsies. Inspired by the historical protest of newsboys in 1899, this new production revitalizes that timeless spirit of defiance to celebrate “trans joy, love, and…the history of labor, race, and disability in New York City.”
- November 21, 7 pm, November 22, 1 and 7 pm, Minor Latham Playhouse (Milbank Hall)
- Presented by First Stages and directed by Jimmy Howard, The Deerboro Ripper centers the “nepo-baby mayor” of a rural town, who in an attempt to stir up excitement for the town’s yearly serial killer festival, ends up committing several murders himself. Deerboro is an original, student-written musical comedy enlivening wit and song with a fresh pint of blood.
