Pepperdine is a great place to find different types of entertainment. Smothers Theatre plays host to many varying shows throughout the academic year. Here are a few that are going on or coming up soon that you do not want to miss!
1. Dance in Flight (DIF): This student dance company has a series of shows once a year during the spring semester. The dancers never fail to leave the audience in amazement and the choreography is always astounding! This year, the company produced a particularly interesting show, as the theme is 1960s social movements and how they relate to our present-day social movements. If you missed this year’s production, be sure to be on the look out for next year’s tickets come fall semester.
2. Songfest: This event also occurs once a year and is also produced by students. It is also choreographed and performed by students. It is a fun musical theater event that has been a university student tradition since 1973. You can see it from March 14-18, 2017.
3. Pepperdine Wind Ensemble: A show by a student ensemble that is free and will take place on March 23, 2017.
