Join University of Chicago alumni for August Wilson’s play Fences at Rochester’s Geva Theatre!

Fences is Wilson’s most popular play, exploring the conflict across generations over a vision of black manhood and the terrible cost of a dream deferred. The story line, in short, as set out on the Geva site:
Troy Maxson could have been a baseball star. He once played for the Negro League, but too early to [...]

Who brew? First 2009 University of Chicago meetup at the Old Toad on January 29th

Come out to see the University of Chicago basketball teams deal the No. 1 Yellowjackets a much needed loss (or not…)

As usual, we’re the underdogs. . . but what else is new? Of course some of you may have divided loyalties anyway….
