This is it, everybody.
If you’re fortunate enough to not have any finals next week, you’re done with winter term! But most of us still have a few more days until we’re free. But in your final days of the term, you can take a study break and check out Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street at the Hult Center in downtown Eugene.
This production, put on by the Eugene Opera in accordance with the Music Theatre International, will be bringing a Broadway classic that has been performed across the globe to the Hult Center.
This production of Sweeney Todd is dedicated to the memory of Mark Lewis, a Eugen performer who who was cast as Sweeney Todd before his death in December.
Here’s what else is going on this weekend.
