They’re baaaaack! Descending like locusts, interrupting your life with question after question. Yes, the prefrosh have landed once again, and if you’re tempted to pack your perky pre-Princetonian off to Timbuktu so you can get some work done or just enjoy some blessed peace, look no further than this week’s arts events. There’s something for every little prefrosh, and after seeing the weekend’s offerings you might even be tempted to join in–sitting a safe distance away from the all the orange-lanyard-clad hordes to preserve your street cred, of course.
First up is the Triangle Club’s Annual Spring show, “Cornel West Side Story.” Rumor has it that the great Cornel himself will make an appearance before the weekend is up. ”He already asked us for a copy of the poster to hang up on his office wall,” said actress Carolyn Vasko ‘13. ”Apparently it’s every Princeton professor’s dream to have a variety show named after them!”
Unlike the Club’s annual fall show, which is a full-fledged narrative musical, the spring show is when up-and-coming Triangle writers get to try out their best (and worst) skit ideas. All writers have participated in a semester-long writing workshop with Andrea Grody ‘11 and Willie Myers ‘11, and will continue working together to create a full-length production in the fall. This weekend’s show reads like a Tiger-infused episode of SNL–complete with insiders-only Ivy jokes, bawdy sing-alongs, and squirrel costumes (trust us, you just have to see it to believe it). Though their legendary Triangle drag kickline is a fall-only affair, the show is the perfect prefrosh crash-course in all things Princeton; for an underclassmen, it offers sheer escapist fun and prime relief from papers and studying.
The show goes up Thursday-Saturday nights at 8pm in the Whitman Theater. Tickets are $6, and the event is TigerTickets eligible. We recommend buying ahead at the Frist Box Office–Triangle is notorious for selling out for its one-weekend-only runs.
Midterms are upon us! If you’re desperate for some Firestone-free time this weekend, these arts events are the perfect antidote to a tortured soul:
