ATTENTION!

In case of rain, Up in the Tufts of a Truffula Tree will perform on Northwestern's campus in Harris Hall Rm 107. You can check an hour before each performance, and if we've decided to perform indoors, we'll have it posted on this blog! If you don't see anything, we'll be outdoors in Raymond Park (On Hinman Ave. between Grove and Lake St., the park with the funky circle of metal chairs).

As of now, all performances are scheduled to be outdoors!

Also, don't forget your blankets and camping chairs to sit on if we're outside!

See you there!

Truffulove,

Robyn and the Truffula Team
