The Weekend Roundup: Prefrosh Edition

All dressed up with no place to go?  With our Weekend Roundup series, you and your red folder will always have plans for your two favorite nights of the week.

PARTIES

Early Action

What: The Latino Men’s Collective brings its beats and black lights to Adams dining hall. Wear white for glowing charms. Don’t have a clean white shirt? Well, we certainly don’t recommend having your prefrosh do your laundry for you. But if you do, be sure to tip. Tickets available at the door for $7 or ahead of time from any member for $5.

When: 10 p.m. – 2 a.m. Friday, Apr. 23

Where: Adams dining hall. Follow the glow.

Leverett 80s Time Warp Dance

What: This year, Leverett House takes you on its annual trip to the 80s—but sloooowly. Be sure to head over early to one of those vaguely punk/retro stores in the Garage, and find yourself some legwarmers and a headband. Have your prefrosh drape her sweater around her shoulders and you’ll be all set to ease your way back into the last few decades of incredible music.

When: 10 p.m. – 2 a.m. Saturday, Apr. 24

Where: Leverett dining hall or your nearest Hot Tub Time Machine

Get Yo’ Jollies Vol. IX

What: The Harvard Black Men’s Forum presents its annual prefrosh weekend dance. Always a good time with great music, but make sure your more timid prefrosh know what they’re getting into: this event usually keeps the lights as low as they go. Tickets $5 advance and $7 at the door.

When: 11 p.m. – 2 a.m. Saturday, Apr. 24

Where: This year’s Jollies can be gotten in Dunster dining hall.

SHOWS

Eleganza 2010

What: This annual show gives its student performers a chance to “Walk the Runway. Redefine Beauty. Change a Life,” well, at least raise some money for charity organizations. A fine way to start off your Saturday night, but be sure to plan ahead if you haven’t been out to the basketball pavilion before. Tickets $12 advance from the Box Office and event participants, $15 at the door.

When: 8 – 10 p.m, Saturday, Apr. 24

Where: Lavietes Pavilion at Briggs Athletic Center

Into the Woods

What: A classical Sondheim musical that blends your favorite fairy tales and takes them beyond “happily ever after.” Tickets available at the Harvard Box Office and Loeb Box Office at 64 Brattle St. $8 students and seniors, $12 general admission.

When: 8 p.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Apr. 23-25; also continuing next weekend.

Where: Loeb mainstage, 64 Brattle Street

In Transit

What: The Harvard-Radcliffe Modern Dance Company’s spring performance, with original student and professional choreography. The dance pieces “range from the athletic, to the balletic, to the most abstract, eclectic dance theater that you can find.” Tickets available from the box office: $8 regular, $5 student and seniors.

When: 7 p.m. Friday, 3 & 8 p.m. Saturday, Apr. 23-24

Where: Harvard Dance Center, 60 Garden St.

Clock/Radio and Daniel Kroop Presents: High School Musical Scenes

What: A late-night theatrical student-run double feature. Sponsorships from local restaurants mean free eats galore! Program also includes performance from the Krokodiloes. Tickets required but available for free; contact hmsscenes@gmail.com.

When: 10:30 p.m. Friday & Saturday, Apr. 23-24

Where: Adams Pool Theatre

The Pillowman and Pirates of Penzance will continue to show through this weekend as well. And keep your ears perked and eyes open for more events; it’s a busy weekend and there are plenty more great events and shows going on!
