Please join us for the final Penn Night at the Wilma of the year! Pass on to any student, staff, faculty or alumni lists and publish.
The Life of Galileo By Bertolt Brecht Translated by David Edgar Directed by Blanka Zizka
Penn Night - April 20, 2007 at 8pm (Call by April 13 for reservations)
Please make your reservations with Julie Rossnagle at 215-893-9456 x124
Faculty, Alumni and Staff: $40.00 ($5 off) Students: $22.50 (1/2 off)
*Price includes pre-show pizza party with the dramaturg or director, an intermission
cookie/beverage reception, and the discounted ticket to the event!
This program is generously supported by Antonio Muniz, Wharton ‘86 and brought to you by
the Platt Student Performing Arts House and the Wilma Theater.
The Wilma Theater has wanted to produce Brecht's masterpiece about reason, religion, and power for years: David Edgar's sparkling
new translation for an age of fundamentalism, cloning, and climate change convinced us that now was the time.
Edgar, author of the Tony and Olivier winning The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby, has produced a version
The Daily Telegraph calls "crystal clear, breathing vitality into the question of science's relation to ethics...the issues
are more relevant than ever." Are there limits to the freedom of inquiry? Galileo strives to bring reason to a world in
which power is concealed as faith. His epic struggle continues to resonate across the centuries.

Hey Day
HEY DAY IS AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT PENN TRADITION
-Many students consider Hey Day to be the most memorable day of their undergraduate experience.
-The unique and important Penn tradition, which brings together the entire class as is only otherwise done on Commencement and Convocation, links generations of students and alumni.
LAST YEAR'S HEY DAY PUT THE TRADITION IN JEOPARDY
-Students were injured by the hazing on Locust Walk.
-The damage to Locust Walk cost thousands of dollars to clean up, ruining the following year's Senior Week budget.
THIS YEAR'S HEY DAY PLAN
-Seniors can sign a pledge of responsibility on Locust Walk during the week leading up to Hey Day. The pledge allows students to attend the "Hey Deja Vu" BBQ in Wynn Commons on Hey Day, where they can enjoy a performance by Kenn Kweder, eat a great lunch, and receive a free t-shirt. Participants will also be provided with streamers and most likely marshmallows to throw on Locust Walk during the Junior procession at the conclusion of the BBQ. As signers of the pledge, these Seniors agree to only throw these two items.
-Seniors who participate in this event will get lots of benefits, but must commit to ONLY throwing the provided items as the Juniors walk down Locust Walk. To be clear, all students are not allowed to throw any items on Locust Walk other than the one's provided at the picnic.
CONSEQUENCES OF AN UNSAFE HEY DAY
-The Atlantic City trip during the Class of 2007's Senior Week this May will be cancelled.
-The current spring semester Hey Day event will be ended, and the Class of 2009 will participate in a Hey Day event to be held in the fall of 2008.
-The Class of 2007 maybe be viewed by students, alumni and administrators as being responsible for ruining the Hey Day tradition.
WHAT PENN STUDENTS CAN DO
-Seniors should sign the pledge during the week leading up to Hey Day and attend the "Hey Deja Vu" BBQ in Wynn Commons.
-Underclassmen must refrain from throwing any items during the Junior Procession and, along with upperclassmen, encourage students to behave responsibly.
