See you on Sunday at at the Dekelboum Theater inside the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University of Maryland! The show starts at NOON! If you’re driving to UMD, be sure to give yourself a few extra minutes to park (you can park for free on Sunday in Lot 1b/1d/Z, which is short walk via Alumni Drive, or you can pay a small fee to park in the garage across the street from the Clarice). If you’re taking Metro, there is a free shuttle that runs from the College Park Metro station.
