Events to catch this week on Miami's campus and in Oxford
Ghost Stories
Gates-Abbeglen Theatre
Thursday to Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
These aren't any ol' round-the-campfire ghost stories. Come listen to Miami student vocalists, a live chamber orchestra and "The Chorus of the Dead" perform ghoulish operas at the Gates-Abbeglen Theatre in the Center for Performing Arts. The performance will include selections from Gustav Holst's "Savitri" and "The Medium" by Gian Carlo Menotti.
Art After Dark
Armstrong Pavilion
Friday at 9 p.m.
Come fulfill your deep-seated desire to make arts and crafts at night. However, even if you've never felt that passionately about knitting or macaroni plates, you'll still enjoy this event. Supplies will be available for sculpture, coloring, figure drawing, Chinese calligraphy, origami, collage, button making, book binding, knitting and pottery painting. Homemade gourmet popcorn will be served and live music will be played.
Super Smash Tournament
