Alumni Events Calendar

We invite you to participate in a bus trip to New York City on Sunday, July 26 to see the musical “Foolerie”. It is a Shakespearean Musical Comedy with books, music and lyrics by Endicott native and Binghamton University alumnus Santino DeAngelo ’13. “Foolerie” will be staged as part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival and was among the 10 entries chosen from more than 200 musicals submitted from around the world.

Come be an invited guest of the Great Earl in this exclusive chance to meet Clowne, the most infamous jester of the age, and his traveling troop of fools as they employ madcap madness and musical comedy in their desire to divert you! Wits will be battled, entendres will be doubled, and art itself shall be put on trial in this wacky powerhouse of cross-dressing, mistaken identity, true love, and pure, unadulterated, foolerie. A comedic send-up of Shakespearean proportions, Foolerie is your chance to be foolish or be fooled!

The bus will depart at 7:30 a.m. from the Shafer Plaza in Endicott (500 North St.) and arrive at the Pearl Theater in Manhattan (555 W. 42 St.) at 11:30 a.m. in time for the noon show. After the show, the Alumni Association will host a reception nearby with Santino and some of the cast members. The bus will leave Manhattan at 7:30 p.m., and return back to Endicott.

Only 56 spots are available; the cost is $65 per person (which includes the bus and the show), and there will be light refreshments on the bus down and back. To register or ask questions, e-mail [email protected]. Payments are by check or cash only.

Your Alumni Association’s Greater Binghamton Chapter is excited to invite you to an exclusive networking event in partnership with the Southern Tier Young Professionals (STYP) group at Social on State on July 30. This event will be an opportunity for you to meet other BOLD alumni in the area as well as members of STYP. The event will be held on the patio, or indoors if it rains, and food and drink specials will be offered. BOLD alumni are encouraged to register here. All who register will receive a gift at the event. You may also wish to join our Facebook event to see who else will be attending.

For more information, please visit the Quirky website. We fully intend to plan an event once Quirky is able to resume normal operations, and we’ll be in touch when a new date has been selected.

We would still like to hold an event tomorrow night, so please join us at the Atwood (986 2nd Ave., Manhattan, at 52nd Street), starting at 6 p.m. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres will be provided and drink specials will be offered.
