The Grand Center Committee, the SLU committee dedicated to bringing the events of Grand Center to SLU students, is selling tickets to”In the Heights” playing at the Fox on Wednesday, November 18 at 8 pm. Here’s the description from the website:

In the Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in Manhattan’s Washington Heights – a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open, and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions you take with you, and which ones you leave behind.

Tickets are $20 and available in the Student Involvement Center on the third floor of the BSC from 9 am – 5 pm. Make checks out to “Saint Louis University.”
