Join your fellow Illini on May 28th for Houston Astros vs. St. Louis Cardinals Baseball!

 

Take me out to the ballgame!

The Cardinals are coming to town and the club is planning a group outing.

Join us on Friday, May 28th, at 7:05 p.m. at the Minute Maid Park. We have 25 seats reserved in the Bullpen Boxes at $21 each. Group seating in this area is adjacent to the Astros bullpen and 9 Amigos , which you can visit before or after the game. Watch in amazement as you come to understand the kind of velocity it takes to get that popping sound from a bullpen catcher's mitt!

Attended: 15

See you at the ballpark!



Join your fellow Illini on May 27th for an evening with the
Houston Ballet

On Thursday, May 27th at 7:30 p.m. in honor of the centennial of the great Russian choreographer George Balanchine, Houston Ballet will pay tribute to his towering achievement with a mixed repertory program:

  • Apollo (Houston Ballet premier) Music by Igor Stravinsky A seminal work in the history of twentieth century ballet, Apollo traces the life of the god of music, poetry and prophecy.

  • La Valse Music by Maurice Ravel In La Valse, a beautiful young girl at a glittering ball falls under the spell of a dark stranger who lures her to her doom.

  • Theme and Variations Music by Peter I. Tchaikovsky Theme and Variations is a tribute to the Russian Imperial ballet tradition that Balanchine grew up with and pays obvious homage to Petipa's The Sleeping Beauty.

Attended: 6
