SRU CONTINUING EDUCATION PLANNING THEATER TRIPS FOR HALLOWEEN, CHRISTMAS           

          SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – Just in time for Halloween – and then again for Christmas -- Slippery Rock University’s Office of Continuing Education will offer theater day-trips to the Mt. Hope Theatre and Winery in Cornwall.

          The Halloween trip, set for Oct. 26, will include entertainment in the “Poe Evermore Theater,” as part of a room-to-room movable production, and a wine-tasting party with the actors. A full-course lunch at the Swashbuckler Brew Pub and Eaterie is also planned.

          A “Charles Dickens Victorian Christmas” excursion will be held Nov. 30 offering a hot mulled wine and grape juice tasting party, lunch at the brew pub and caroling and story telling in the “Dickens’ Theatre.”

          Both trips leave campus at 7:30 a.m. and returns at midnight. Cost is $99 per person for each excursion.

          “These are fun-filled filed trips,” explains Richard Comings, director of continuing education. “While there is certainly an educational component, the trips will allow people to enjoy the holiday, meet new friends and be entertained all at the same time.”

          Registration may be completed by calling 724-738-2633.
