After a 6 year hiatus, CMU is bringing Dance Marathon back to campus. Dance Marathon is a charity event with two purposes: let people have fun and give people the outlet to help the community. The event itself is part dance party, part dance competition with prizes and free food. Tickets cost $10 per person. All ticket sales and donations go to the Hero Program of the Greater Pittsburgh Area which gives financial and emotional support to kids with terminal illnesses and their families.

“Winging It: An Experimental Gallery About Birds” is the newest exhibit at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. The project was a collaboration between The Carnegie Museum of Natural History and The Carnegie Mellon School of Design.
After a summer of exploring the mist nets at Powdermill Nature Reserve, digging through the enormous filing cabinets filled with birds at the Museum, making countless trips to Home Depot, learning more than we ever wanted to know about how eggs gain their coloration, and squeezing into an 18” workspace the exhibit is finally assembled and installed.
THE DESIGNERS:
The exhibit was designed, fabricated and installed throughout the summer by Natalia Olbinski, Amanda Henderson, and Sarah Kusuma
(Professors Mark Baskinger and Stacie Rohrbach assisted.)

The exhibit opens tonight at 4:30 with remarks from Dr. Samuel M. Taylor at 5pm.

“Assassins” is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by John Weidman. It uses the premise of a murderous carnival game to produce a revue-style portrayal of men and women who attempted to assassinate Presidents of the United States. The music varies to reflect the popular music of the eras depicted.
“The Broken Heart” is a Caroline era tragedy written by John Ford, and first published in 1633, set in Classical Greece, the play recounts the story of Amyclas, King of Laconia (or Sparta), his daughter Calantha, and their court.
Both plays are tonight starting at 6:30pm in the Raugh Theater of Purnell.
