Inspired by the original 1936 film of the same name, this raucous musical comedy takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the hysteria caused when clean-cut kids fall prey to marijuana, leading them on a downward spiral filled with sex, violence, and evil jazz music. This dynamic show packed full of show-stopping numbers and outrageous comedy will go straight to your head!

Does anyone know of any foreign language classes available for children? My son is 3 and we would like to start him in French. Looking for a school or class or tutor (or French Grandmother?) to help him start learning. They learn so fast at this age and I’d rather not wait 10 years since it will be harder. We’re in Superior, but will drive to Duluth or surrounding area. Thanks!

The journalism department at the College of St. Scholastica has recently launched a new site to showcase articles from student coursework and to give students the opportunity to hone their skills in the area of writing for the web.
Many of the pieces include a variety of multimedia including photos, audio, and video. They’ve already turned out a great variety of articles focused on the issues, events, and history of St. Scholastica as well as the greater Duluth community.
Take a look and feel free to comment on any articles that you find interesting. You can find it at the St. Scholastica NewsLab.
