In a continued effort to support the victims of Haiti, various campus organizations are coming together for a benefit showcase on March 2 to raise money for relief. Several A capella groups, including Pitchforks, Out of the Blue, Rhythm and Blue, are participating in addition to Sabrosura, DUI, and the Haitian Student Alliance.
Show runs 7 to 9 p.m. in Reynolds Theater. Tickets are $5 for students, $7 general admission, and will be sold all week from 12 to 4 p.m. on the Bryan Center Plaza.
All ticket sales go toward relief in Haiti, and 30 percent of CD sales from Out of the Blue and Pitchforks will also be donated.

“The Crimson Hotel”, the new play from Tony-winner Michael Frayn, will begin its three day run tonight on Duke’s East Campus. The critically-acclaimed farcical comedy, that chronicles the affair between a French playwright and his lead actress, has yet to make its professional US premiere. Directed by theater studies veteran, senior Kana Hatakeyama, and starring fellow seniors Julia Franklin and Michael Bergen, the play will begin at 8PM in East Duke 209. The show’s runtime is under one hour.
Arts of the Moving Image Associate Director Josh Gibson and wife, adjunct instructor Shambhavi Kaul, will be holding an information session today for a summer film program in Arezzo, Italy. The month-long course at Accademia dell’Arte, in which Gibson, Kaul and Duke students have been participating since 2008, involves making multiple short films, including one final, group effort which premiers at the annual Arezzo Festival. The course will count towards credit. Alongside theater and dance students, the participants live, eat and take class in a 16th-century villa in the hills overlooking the Tuscan city.
The session will run from 5-5:45 PM in Smith Warehouse Bay 12, room 121. Gibson and Kaul, accompanied by former participants, will answer questions and screen work from past summers.
