XU Students Strut Their Stuff

Hey Xavierites!!!

I am an avid patron of the arts, so when I came across this event page on facebook, I decided to check it out... At first glance it appears to be another XU talent show, however upon careful inspection it turned out to be an actual full on production by Mr. Griffin Collins, (aka the gold star dancers choreographer.) Their little press release is pasted below, but what I found out after snooping is much more interesting. Though there are a multitude of XU music majors participating in this show, i seems as though its not the people one would expect... ( y'all know who I mean... the people who perform every chance they get, and even some they don't get!)
Among the performers are:
Robert Graham
Maegan Williams (aka AKA MAEGAN)
Jon Stevenson
Monét Hodge
René Bond
Crystal Morris
P'hallon Miller
Micah Turner

From what I've heard about these performers, this show should be FANTASTIC, and even though I am a frugal spender, and $10 is kinda steep (remember I didn't wanna shell out for Trey Songz, but that had to do with principles...) I think I will go to this show. With this many Divas in one place it's gotta be a entertaining to say the least!

Hate it or Love it,
(I think you'll love it)

With a committed cast of talented artists from Xavier and Tulane Universities as well as the Greater New Orleans area, the production, directed and choreographed by Griffin Collins, plans to wow audiences with singing and dancing.
