Back-to-school shows Include 'Why We Have a Body,' 'The Illuminated Library' at SF State

GOLDEN GATE XPRESS -- Summer is coming to an end and it’s about that time to jump out of bed and chase down MUNI, crash that impacted class and wait in a winding line to purchase books. But it’s also time to get acclimated to school and take advantage of the fun, friendly student-priced opportunities SF State has to offer. While filling out your new Gator planner, add these events to brighten up your calendar. Why We Have a Body: Your class schedule might not allot the time to head to the movie theatre but why not check out some of your peers in a live show? It’s on campus and you can’t go wrong with the price. The Master of Arts Thesis production will present Claire Chafee’s “Why We Have a Body” the first week of school. The Illuminated Library: The SFMOMA may be under construction right now, but SF State has some exhibitions of its own. The relationship between literature and illustration takes center stage in the Fine Arts Gallery’s exhibit curated by Sharon Bliss.
