Events for Friday April 25, 2025
Tending Good Soil: A Conversation with Jeff Chu and Krista Tippett
In his late thirties, Jeff Chu left his job as a magazine writer and found himself at Princeton Theological Seminary’s “Farminary”—a twenty-one-acre working farm where students learn to cultivate the earth while examining life’s biggest questions. Now, he unpacks what he learned about creating “good soil,” both literally and figuratively, drawing lessons from the rhythms of growth, decay, and regeneration that define life on the land. Join us for this exclusive conversation between Chu and Krista Tippett, host of On Being. Together, they’ll discuss the new book and why, at a time when we seem most drawn to the phones in our hands, we need to connect to the land.

Afro-Colombian Rhythms: A Concert by Neblinas del Pacífico
Come join us at a celebration of Afro-Colombian music with Neblinas del Pacífico featuring Grammy Award Winner Eryen Korath Ortiz Garcés. The band Neblinas del Pacífico (La Mission, San Francisco) presents a sound fabric of marimba de chonta music from the Afro-Colombian Pacific: music of rivers and mangroves, of polyrhythms and harmonies, of spirituality and everyday life, of ancestors and tradition, of celebration and resistance. Featuring instruments like marimba de chonta, bombos, cununos, and guasás, their performance is a vibrant celebration of Colombia's Pacific Coast heritage. The event is free and open to the public. The concert will be held at the Carl A. Fields Center, which is at the intersection of Prospect Avenue and Olden Street. After 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends, visitors can park in many University parking lots for free. For more information please see the University’s Visitor parking page.

POTUS, Music Mountain Theatre
A derogatory comment, a summit gone awry, an anal abscess—it’s a bad day at the White House. When the President unwittingly spins a PR nightmare into a global crisis, it inevitably falls on the seven women he relies on most to clean up the mess. Take a raucous romp through the halls of the West Wing in a riotous and irreverent farce about the men who hold the power vs. the women who get the job done. This Broadway hit about the women who must save a bumbling President and the world from falling apart (again) is filled with intelligence, wit, and a shocking amount of audacity. ? ? Content Warning: POTUS contains very strong language, mature themes, and references to hot-button issues.

Anything Goes, Kelsey Theatre
All aboard as the talented students of the Academic Theater and Dance Program and Entertainment Technology bring you this toe-tapping musical. When the S.S. American heads out to sea, two unlikely pairs set off on the course to true love – but sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, a comical disguise, and some good old-fashioned blackmail. This classic musical has been updated with a fantastic new book (2022), but still features Cole Porter’s most joyful score, including “I Get A Kick Out of You,” “You’re the Top,” and, of course, the show-stopping title song. After more disguises, ploys, confessions, mistaken identities, and marriage proposals - all done to toe tapping music-how will everything work out? Who knows? Anything goes!
