WEEK 10 EVENTS


Wednesday, Dec. 1: 48 Hours to Action

The UCLA Sex Squad is a group of student performers who've brought together all of their talents (singing, dancing, acting, beatboxing, and more) to create a show to honor World AIDS Day. And they did it in just 48 Hours!

The group will debut their work at 48 Hours to Action at 6 pm on Dec. 1st in the Glorya Kaufman Dance Theater at UCLA. They are talented, funny, energetic, ridiculous, and moving performers that have created something that does the unimaginable, it makes us laugh right in the face of our fear.


Tickets are just $6 at UCLA CTO or online at http://tinyurl.com/2djgjqy.
