We’ve got a great weekend of campus arts events–perfect procrastination techniques to employ before the end-of-semester push (and, let’s be honest, holiday shopping) takes over our brains.
- There’s theater galore this weekend, starting tonight with Craig Wright’s The Pavilion, a high-school-reunion story unlike any you’ve seen before, directed by Emma Watt ‘13 at Theatre Intime. Thurs-Saturday at 8pm, this weekend and next. Also, the show clocks in at just under 90 minutes–a perfectly-sized study break. Tickets $8 at Theatre Intime. To see the trailer (artistic design for this show is through the roof), click here.
- Also up tonight is Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, directed by Molly O’Neill ‘14 with the Princeton Shakespeare Company in the Wilson Blackbox. Thurs-Saturday at 8pm, this weekend and next. Tickets $8 at Frist; events eligible.
- Starting tomorrow, Shakespeare’s Hamlet, a senior thesis project directed by Julia Keimach ‘12 with the Program in Theater, is sure to be a terrific bet: a great cast, beautiful costumes, and a fresh new take on a classic text (not to mention that our own UPC co-prez SKG makes his Princeton theater debut as Polonius!). December 2-3 at 8:15 PM, December 4 at 2 PM, December 7 – 9 at 8 PM, and December 10 at 1 PM. Free and open to the public; Berlind Rehearsal Room at McCarter Theater Center.

No matter how stressed-out you are by classes, nothing peps you up for the holiday season quite like beautiful Christmas music: the University Glee Club and Chamber Choir’s concert of Readings and Carols this Friday is sure to hit the spot. 8pm Friday in Richardson Auditorium, $5 students, events eligible.
- Big-band jazz reinterpretations of Radiohead, you say? Just one of the many draws at the University Concert Jazz Ensemble’s collaboration concert with the jazz programs from Columbia University this Saturday: 8pm December 3 in Richardson Auditorium, student tickets $5. Events eligible.
