Princeton alums & friends are invited to a night at the theatre on Friday, October 10th. Princetonians will enjoy discounted tickets and a post-show discussion with the writers, director, and cast of Precarious Theatre's latest creation: "I'm Yours! or, Deranged by Love."

Inspired by an episode from Cervantes' classic novel Don Quixote, the play follows the ecstasy and agony of two pairs of young lovers in 17th century Spain. The couples, finding their desires thwarted by fate, friends and family, set out on a chaotic adventure into the Spanish wilderness, where a tangled web of desires, mistaken identity, hilarious antics and revenge puts true love to the ultimate test. The six-actor ensemble brings the story to life through their own acting, original songs and fantastical puppets.

The Kirov Ballet and Orchestra of St. Petersburg come to Berkeley to perform "Don Quixote," the most famous comic ballet of the 19th-century Russian repertory.

In this tale, the confused but well-intentioned Don helps an innkeeper's daughter marry the young barber she loves, foiling her father's plan to marry her to a foppish nobleman. It culminates in a grand and colorful wedding celebration for the village, before the Don and Sancho Panza bid farewell to continue on their adventures.

The Kirov Ballet is one of the world's leading artistic institutions, maintaining the legacy of classical Russian ballet since its founding in 1783. It will perform in Berkeley with its own full orchestra.

Join Dan Sullivan '63 and Kasia Allen *02 for a Sunday matinee, with an optional post-performance supper at a nearby Berkeley restaurant. This event was first announced in the July PCNC newsletter, but we may still have a few tickets left.

Send your reservation by e-mail to dansullivan63@earthlink.net, and confirm it immediately with a check payable to PCNC. PCNC members may bring one guest at the member price.

Join Michele Bateman '97 for an amazing evening of entertainment with saxophone great, Maceo Parker. Always a formidable improviser, alto saxophonist Maceo Parker was baptized by the two supreme prophets of funk, James Brown and George Clinton. After a quarter century of collaborating with the two soul visionaries he started spreading the gospel of groove in the late 1980s with his own blazing band, made up mostly of alumni from Brown's disciplined R&B academy and Clinton's free-flowing funk seminars. A consummate entertainer, Parker turns every performance into a uproarious party. This will be the second collaboration between PCNC and SFJazz, and we are hoping to engage new and old participants alike!

"His signature style helped define James Brown's brand of funk."
- NPR
