This Weekend @ BU: March 26 to 29
Midterms are (finally) wrapping up, and you deserve a break. Take a minute to enjoy these fun events around campus.
The Nerd
Stage Troupe presents The Nerd, a show set in 1979 in Terre Haute, Ind. It centers on a young architect who is visited by an ex-GI who saved his life when he was wounded in Vietnam. The story of an awkward houseguest spirals into a chaotic and vengeful delight.
Thursday, March 26, through Saturday, March 28, 8 to 10:30 pm, Student Theatre at Agganis Arena, 925 Commonwealth Ave. Purchase tickets here.
Boston University Wind Ensemble’s “Time & Place”
The BU Wind Ensemble will perform a program centered on music that evokes distinct times and places. The concert includes Bach transcriptions by Lucien Calliet and ends with Gotkovsky’s “Poème du Feu.” The free show is part of a residency by composer Jessie Montgomery.
Thursday, March 26, 7:30 to 9 pm, Tsai Performance Center, 685 Commonwealth Ave.
