ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 2025

SHAKESPEARE - It's that time again. Members of the Theater Programs of West Catholic and Catholic Central combine forces to perform a play written by William Shakespeare for the students at both schools. This year's show is The Comedy of Errors, a rolling comedy where a family is torn apart in a storm at sea, but manages to find each other after many adventures 25 years later. Sound interesting? The show will run January 15 through 18 at the PAC at Aquinas College and tickets are now available by calling (616)456-6656 or by going to the Box Office and purchasing tickets there. Tickets are $7 for students. Pick up a friend and come on over. You'll be glad you did!!!
