Our Picks of Events on Campus – Oct. 22-29
Each Thursday, The Pioneer highlights three events happening over the weekend on campus or in Walla Walla. Here are this week’s picks:
Romeo and Juliet

Free with a Whitman theater pass, though many shows are already sold out because of higher demand during family weekend. Show times are Thursday to Saturday, Oct. 22 to 24 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 25 at 2 p.m.

Each year, the music department’s various groups and ensembles collaborate for this family weekend concert.
