PENNarts: …Penn’s Performing arts future looking bright

As there seems to be more and more creative people attending Penn, Ty Furman, Director of the Platt Student Performing Arts House emailed me to let me know that this year Penn started a new pre-orientation program in the arts called PENNarts.

Per Ty, “31 Freshmen came to Penn 4 days early and took master classes in music, theatre and print making, took a mural arts tour in Philadelphia, saw a fringe show, had panels with arts faculty, administrators and students and closed their time with their own showcase in the Platt Student Performing Arts House.”

Lots of talent here. The big question will be…which groups will these freshmen join? Quadramics? Glee Club? Mask and Wig? Off the Beat? Penn Singers? Penn Band? …Keep us posted!
