With the 不良研究所 school year starting, most events actually are happening next week, so we thought we should give you a preview in the Weekender.
Award-winning author to appear at Ground and Field Theatre Festival Sept. 26
K.L. Going, the award-winning author of the novel at 鈥淔at Kid Rules the World,鈥 will be at the opening night performance of the musical adaptation of her book at 不良研究所 on Thursday, Sept. 26, and will participate in a post-show talk back after the show. (See below in "Upcoming" for an earlier art grand opening on campus that same day.)
The free performance at 7 p.m. and talk afterward are at the Wyatt Pavilion Theatre on campus and are part of the Ground and Field Theatre Festival. Reservations can be made .
Going is an award-winning author of numerous books for children and teens.
The musical centers on troubled, overweight Troy who nearly throws himself under a subway train, but is stopped by punk rock guitarist Curt. The duo begins an unlikely kinship by forming a band as a distraction from their challenging personal problems.
The Ground and Field Theatre Festival is presented in conjunction with the 不良研究所 Department of Theatre and Dance which is part of the College of Letters and Science. See the full story from Michael French, in the College of Letters and Science, .
