Our last optional event of the semester!

See Shakespeare's classic comedy, Twelfth Night, as performed by the UW-L Theater Department on Friday, December 3 at 7:30 p.m. in Toland Theater, UW-L Fine Arts Center (16th and Vine Streets).

You must sign up at tutoring or by email no later than Friday, November 19 if you wish to attend.

If you say you are going, we will get you a ticket worth $10 and we will expect you to be there! If you aren't there, we will deduct at least $10 from your stipend.**

If necessary, you may find a UB student to attend in your place to avoid the deduction. If you must find a sub, please email to let me know by December 2.

** Sparta and Tomah students - we will offer a ride from SPARTA only. It will leave from the Country Kitchen, 741 Avon Road at 6:30 p.m. and return when the play is done (probably about 10:30 p.m., but that's an ESTIMATE). If you sign up but don't show up and your absence means we could have saved money by renting a smaller vehicle, we will deduct part or all of the extra vehicle cost from your stipend in addition to the ticket cost.

Local students who attend should plan to be at the Toland Theater lobby no later than 7:15 p.m. You will meet a UB tutor there and get your ticket.

If you have any questions, please email. Here's more info about the play.
