Schedule

Friday, April 26

2-5 p.m. Welcome table | Riley Campus Center
Stop by the welcome table in Riley Campus Center to pick up schedules or maps. Feel free to ask the staff for recommendations of things to do or places to eat.

3 and 5:30 p.m. Softball Game vs. George Fox University
Cheer on Wildcat softball team as they take on George Fox. Enjoy the game at Del Smith Stadium.

7:30 p.m. "The Imaginary Invalid" | Marshall Theatre
Linfield Theatre’s April production will be a new take on Moliere’s "The Imaginary Invalid," adapted by Oded Gross and Tracy Young, with original music by Paul James Prendergast and original lyrics by Oded Gross, Paul James Prendergast and Tracy Young.

Moliere’s final play follows the story of Argan, a hypochondriac who seeks to marry his daughter to the son of a doctor, which he believes will mean cheaper medical bills and easier access to prescriptions. Mistaken identity, subterfuge, and other classic tropes of comedy ensue, and this zippy production contains side–splitting wordplay, slapstick gags, and a healthy dose of pop culture references.

Performances are 7:30 p.m. on April 25-26 and 2 p.m. April 28. (Please note there will not be a performance on April 27.)

Tickets are $12 for full price; $10 for seniors (62+); and $8 for students 16+ (any school, one ticket per ID).
