Brunnier Bash: A Masquerade Ball
Bring your friends to the Brunnier's fourth annual Brunnier Bash! Pull out those masquerade masks, put on your dancing shoes, and join us for a night of intrigue in the most elegant of settings, the Brunnier Art Museum. Tickets may be purchased in advance beginning Feb. 1st at the Brunnier Art Museum, the Christian Petersen Art Museum, or the University Museums office.
Performance: "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail"
In 1846, Henry David Thoreau spent the night in jail for refusing to pay his taxes since his money might be used to support slavery or the Mexican-American War. This famous act of civil disobedience resulted in this script, a play about ideas, political and personal, and about each person's responsibility to ensure independence and democracy. Tickets available through the Stephens Box Office or Ticketmaster.
