March Events are the Best Events!

March is the month of big events here in the Engineering Society! Coming up this month we have two events that are very close to my heart, EngPlay and Semi-Formal.

The first of these, our Engineering Play (or EngPlay for short) will be happening on March 14 and 15. The play is being held in the Modern Languages Theater, and doors open at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $6 and are available online or at the EngSoc Office (CPH1327). EngPlay is a termly theatre production put on by the University of Waterloo Engineering Society. Some shows have been written by the directors for the term, while other shows have been purchased scripts from professional playwrights. There has been the occasional musical, but all EngPlay’s share a common theme: laughter. EngPlay is a tradition shared amongst many schools, and one that sits close to Waterloo’s heart.

This term’s play is a student written comedy and murder-mystery! Fifteen students are gathered at the remote home of an eccentric sponsor to find out the winner of a large grant. Their stay is interrupted by a winter storm, cutting them off from civilization. Just as the worst of the weather hits, a grisly death occurs. Who could’ve done it? Find out in this term’s EngPlay!

The second event that is near and dear to my heart is our termly Semi-Formal dance. This term the Semi-Formal will be on Saturday, March 23 at The Turret Nightclub on Laurier campus. Tickets are $15 and are available online or at the EngSoc Office (CPH1327). The most exciting part of this term’s Semi-Formal dance is that it is a joint initiative with AHS and their student society, AHSUM. Come out to this space-themed dance for food, drinks and lots of fun with friends. There will be visits by the mascots of both EngSoc and AHSUM, as well as photo booths and more! Don’t miss this awesome event!
