After Hours Theater 

Now in its third year, After Hours Theater is a night of 10-minute plays that are written, directed, acted, and produced entirely by students. Once a semester, four to five of these short plays are selected by the After Hours board.  Then, after directors have been chosen and the shows have been cast, they are rehearsed and eventually performed "after hours" - after the theater has usually gone dark for the night." Programs in the Festival Include:
"Congressman Johnson Hears a Special Interest Group" - Alex Hoffman '11;  "Rock Solid" - Grace Illingworth '10;  "Barricades" - Emma Knoth '09; (Working Title) - Amanda Engborg '08 and Megan Maile Green '08

The Committee for Creative Enactments

BC's largest and only Improv/Murder Mystery Comedy Club. Tonight is the Open House for Camp Kilimanjaro, a brand new camp that will open its doors for the first time this coming summer.  Hoping to impress the parents of prospective campers (the audience), the camp has called in teachers, counselors, and even a local park ranger to deliver a safe, fun presentation and tour of the facilities, including the opportunity to really get to know the staff...  However, things go horribly, horribly wrong – resulting in… murder! Who done it?  Tensions mount as accusations are hurled and secrets are revealed!  How exciting!  In keeping with the camp spirit, this script is rated PG-13.  Tickets are $5, available through the Robsham ticket office (617) 552-4002.

Festival Concert:  BC bOp! and Voices of Imani Gospel Choir

A special commemorative concert featuring excerpts from Duke Ellington’s “Sacred Concerts.”  
In the last years of Ellington's life, the jazz maestro explored the spiritual side of his extraordinary musical gifts – composing three massive works that combined elements of jazz, classical music, choral music, spirituals, gospel, blues and dance.  Because of the scale of the music and the number of artists required, the music is rarely performed.  This concert also celebrates the retirement of Voices of Imani director – Hubert Walters.

$10 admission (tickets are not available in advance – only at the door), Free for students/faculty with BC ID
