Assembly Room – William Pitt Union 6pm
Please join us in our Nowruz ceremony, the ancient (and modern) Persian New Year celebrating the first day of Spring. There will be Persian traditional dinner, a series of very entertaining performances (more so than in previous years) and afterwards we will get to dance till we drop.
The tentative schedule is as follows:
6:15-7:00: Screening the movie “Babak & Friends: A First Norooz”
7:00-8:30: Persian traditional dinner (including Sabzi polo Mahi)
8:30-10:00: Shows & performances (including performances by a dance group from Washington, DC)
10:00-12:00: Music & Dance
Admission fee: $10 for students, $20 for non-students
Please note: as opposed to most of our events, you must purchase your tickets in advance (by March 19th); there will be no at-the-door tickets sales due to the University restrictions. We realize that this is a bit more inconvenient, so we have set up as many purchase methods as possible:
1. On-line: http://www.showclix.com/event/NowruzCelebration. Please note that a convenience fee will be charged for online sales.
2. In person: Tickets will be available for purchase on-campus at both Pitt and CMU, from March 7th until 18th.
Pitt:

CMU:
You can go to the Information Desk on the first floor of the University Center (near Kirr Commons, a.k.a. the black chairs).
