Comedy Sportz: ComedySportz is improvisational comedy played as a sport! (If you've ever seen Whose Line is it Anyway, you've got the general idea.) Two teams of actors compete for the biggest laughs while a referee calls the fouls and gets suggestions from you, the audience. ComedySportz is light-hearted insanity that appeals to people from every walk of life. We provide clean, positive entertainment that is guaranteed to please even the toughest crowd. If you have a pulse, it's highly likely that you'll laugh until it hurts. If you don't have a pulse, seek medical attention immediately.
Step Afrika: Step Afrika celebrates stepping, an art form born at African American fraternities and based in African traditions. As the first professional company dedicated to stepping, Step Afrika’s intricate kicks, stomps and rhythms mixed with spoken word pound the floor and fill the air. Whether you are a college student, a dance lover, a family of four, or a world culture enthusiast, you're sure to enjoy this performance!

Observatory Showing (weather permitting)
Journey to our campus observatory and spend some time with UWRF faculty
as you view the night sky. Mars will shine brightly, taking over as
Jupiter
fades into the sunset. The constellation Pegasus will be high in the
sky,making it easy for us to spot the Andromeda galaxy. If predictions
hold up, you may see Comet Loneos near its peak brightness as it passes
through the tail of the Scorpion.
Location: Observatory, Centennial Science Hall
