The Theatre Department presents: “The Play That Goes Wrong!”

By Faculty and Staff, Students

The Theatre Department’s production of “The Play That Goes Wrong!” features a night of mishaps, mischief and mania. It’s the opening night of the Ditzler Drama Society’s newest production, “The Murder at Haversham Manor,” and things have quickly gone from bad…to utterly disastrous. The group’s ambitious 1920s who-done-it has everything you never want in a show: falling props, collapsing scenery, an unconscious star, a corpse that can’t play dead and actors who trip over everything…including their lines. How will this eager ensemble battle against the odds? Will they make it to the final curtain call? Find out in the Theatre Department’s season opener at the Herrick Theatre in the Dow Center. Admission is free.

Homecoming spirit week

By Students

Sponsored by the offices of Campus Life and Institutional Advancement, the College will be hosting a competitive spirit week leading up to homecoming this year. All four classes will compete against one another to see who has the most school spirit. The winning class will be determined based off which class has the highest participation levels, raises the most money for the Briton Scholarship Fund through penny wars, and who has the best rock design.

Seniors will set the tone for spirit week by dressing up in purple and gold & painting the rock on Monday. To receive credit for dressing up on their given spirit day, participating students will check in at the KC each day, where they can pick up a custom class sticker and participate in penny wars.

September 25: Senior Spirit Day

September 26: Junior Spirit Day

September 27: Sophomore Spirit Day

September 28: First-Year Spirit Day
