What to do tonight: 3/13

World Cultural Dinner
6:30
Andrews Hall
$10
Yes, the $10 entrance fee seems a little steep, but consider this: if you went to dinner at most of the places on Thayer, you’d probably end up spending at least that, and the food wouldn’t be as good. You also wouldn’t get to see Amira Belly Dance Company (YES!), The Chattertocks, Mezcla, Shades of Brown, and Brown Lion Dance. Unless they were all there having dinner too or something. But that’d be pretty weird, cause they’ll all be at BRIO’s fabulous dinner!

Sights & Sounds
7:00
List 120
$2
They’re billing this one as “an eclectic performance show.” Basically, that means that a lot of the random, cool groups that we’ve come to know and love on campus are going to be there, doing their respective things. Expect appearances from the Jabberwocks, ImPulse, WORD! & the Ursa Minors. Proceeds are going to a very good cause — Brown Science Prep which works with Providence public high schoolers — and it looks like a great way to start off your night!

EPIC DRUM SHOW
7:00
Sayles Hall
$4
I’m pretty sure there’s nothing I could say that would add to what you already get from the name of this event. It will be an EPIC DRUM SHOW. EPIC!!!!!

The Lost City
10:00-2:00
Machado Spanish House / 87 Prospect Street
$3 door, $1 drinks
I feel like “Lost City” is probably a reference to how many people will get lost trying to find this party and start their own party someplace else. However, for those of you that make it, Machado House parties have been really solid this year, and this one looks like another solid bet!

LULU

2:00 pmto4:00 pm

Location: Stuart Theater, 77 Waterman

LULU follows the rise and fall of one dangerous and doomed creature: the sexually educated but passive woman who will go by any name her lovers wish to call her. From presiding over high society Parisian balls to selling herself in London basement rooms, Lulu ruins those around her, and is ruined, for love. Donald Lyons called LULU a “symphony – or rather a cacophony – of deotic sexual rhetorics….among the supreme masterpieces of nineteenth-century theatre.” Director Spencer Golub calls LULU “very nasty.”  An Eyes Wide Shut for an earlier century’s turn, LULU is a sex tragedy – or comedy – about how basic need and desire are made base by social convention, bourgeois morality and the fantasy life of the mind. Smart, dark, beautiful, twisted, tragic, haunting – you will not forget LULU, or Lulu. For tickets, visit: www.brown.edu/tickets
