Victims of Duty by Eugene Ionesco 11/2 5-6:30 San Francisco Paige Rogers '89
Eugene Ionesco's Victims of Duty at Cutting Ball Theater

Eugène Ionesco, legendary master of absurdist theater, returns to the EXIT with a rarely seen classic in a surprising and hilarious production by The Cutting Ball Theater. This undiscovered jewel from the 1950s is Ionesco’s most surreal and autobiographical play. An unsuspecting couple answers a knock at their door and a detective enters. What starts as a simple interrogation becomes an incredible journey through their past, present and future. Don’t miss your chance to see this tour-de-force production by the EXIT’s new resident theater company.

There was an article about Rob Melrose '92 and Paige Rogers '89 in July's PAW. Together they have run The Cutting Ball Theater in San Francisco for nearly a decade. There will be a talk back after this performance.

Trivia contest between our two schools

Harvard recently bested Princeton in the U.S. News and World Report ranking of best national universities. The Cantabs surpassed us in the ratings for the first time in 13 years by 1/10 of a percentage point. Now is our chance to get even!

"Pub Quiz" is a trivia/knowledge contest between the Harvard Club of Northern California and PCNC, administered by Brainstormer.com. Trivia topics will include current events, pop culture, geography, history, music identification (“name that band”), and science/math, to name a few of the potential interrogative areas. We anticipate a minimum of about 5 teams per side (with approx. 4 persons per team). After 5-7 rounds, we will tally the average score of the Princeton teams, and weigh them against Harvard's scores to determine both bragging rights and who has earned some fantastic Brainstormer.com prizes. Sign up early, as this event is sure to fill up!
