“THE CITY GAME” RETURNS TO CONSOL ENERGY CENTER

DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY vs. UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH

DECEMBER 5, 2012 ~ 7pm 

Duquesne University will take on the University of Pittsburgh in the annual “City Game” on Wednesday, December 5, 7pm at CONSOL Energy Center in the third consecutive neutral site meeting between the long-time rivals. Last year, Pitt earned an 80-69 victory in front of a record crowd of 15,880, the largest attendance in the history of the City Game series. The game played at CONSOL Energy Center was nationally televised. Pitt leads the all-time City Game Series 49-31.

Duquesne Head Coach Jim Ferry says, “I’m looking forward to being part of a great game in a great arena. With the success of last year’s NCAA tournament games, CONSOL Energy Center proved it is one of the top basketball venues in the country. It’s going to be a great college basketball atmosphere.”

“The Pitt-Duquesne game is always great for the city of Pittsburgh,” Pitt Head Coach Jamie Dixon said. “There is an amazing history between Pitt and Duquesne in basketball and playing the game at CONSOL Energy Center is an outstanding way to commemorate and promote the series.”

Tickets are on sale now at the Dick’s Sporting Goods Box Office at CONSOL Energy Center, ticketmaster.com and all Ticketmaster outlets. Pitt and Duquesne season ticket holders have the opportunity to purchase tickets beginning Friday, September 7.

STOMP

Ah-mazing! That is how I would describe Stomp in just one word. What a show!

 

I am no stranger to Stomp. I saw it 11 years ago on Broadway in New York with my family. That doesn’t mean it was any less spectacular the second time. It was a terrific show then and a terrific show now. My husband and I couldn’t decide if it had changed much. We remembered parts of it but not all.

The show is just an hour and a half long with no intermission, the perfect length. It is entertaining, funny, and surprisingly interactive. The actors don’t talk at all. They occasionally grunt. They use anything and everything to make music including, but not limited to, match boxes, paint cans, brooms, rubber tubes, kitchen utensils, newspapers, sand, lighters, and even trash! My husband has still not stopped banging on everything in the house. He has our girls doing it too and they didn’t even see the show!

The way the actors work together to make music is amazing. And what a work out they must get every night the way they run around that stage! I think I’ll propose to my gym that they start a Stomp class. You think they’d go for it??

Anyway, this show, if nothing else, teaches you that music truly is everywhere and in everything. You just have to start the beat!

 

There are still five more shows this weekend. One Friday night and two on both Saturday and Sunday. I highly recommend checking it out! You are sure to be tapping your feet along the whole time. Find tickets here!

Preschool fun @ Carnegie Science Center

Many young kids have vivid imaginations. They want to be superheroes, have special powers, and rule the world! But, do they know the keys of success and the importance of lifelong learning? Childhood development research has revealed that preschool-aged children are in their prime for forming habits, learning basic skills, and gaining knowledge about the world around them. That's why it's especially important to give early learners ample opportunities to inspire their curiosity, cultivate a love for learning, and teach them basic science concepts. Preschool classes and workshops at the Carnegie Science Center are specifically designed around suitable themes for little scientists. They'll dig into important science topics, enhance their social skills, and have tons of fun! Many of their exhibits, planetarium shows, and Omnimax movies are great for early learners. In addition, special offerings for early learners include: Preschool Semesters Kids attend a 2-hour class, once a week, for five weeks. Discover more! Preschool Adventures for Parents and Kids Hour-long classes Choose one or as many as you like! Discover more! Munchkin Mondays Starts Sept. 10, 2012 Munchkin Mondays are full of themed activities just for early learners ages 2-6. Discover more!
