In celebration of The Black Rep’s 30th season, Washington University’s Diversity Initiative is giving away 30 season PassPorts to University faculty and staff. Each season PassPort consists of five ticket vouchers redeemable at any time during the 2007 season.
“The Black Rep is one of St. Louis’ cultural gems,” said Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton, who along with his wife, Risa Zwerling Wrighton, co-chairs The Black Rep’s 30th Anniversary Celebration committee.
The 30th anniversary season, which begins in January, features Ain’t Misbehavin’, Crossin’ Over, Gem of the Ocean, The Dance on Widow’s Row and Guys and Dolls.
WUSTL’s Diversity Initiative was launched in July 2005. This initiative included the creation of a Coordinating Council for Diversity Initiatives (CCDI) and the appointment of Leah Merrifield as special assistant to the chancellor for diversity initiatives. The focus of the initiative is to increase racial diversity and gender balance among the University’s faculty and staff.
To register for the season passes, go online to http://aisweb.wustl.edu/Chancellor/BlackRep.nsf/form?OpenForm. The deadline to submit an entry is Dec. 1. It will be a random drawing.
