A mix of six self-service hybrid and fuel efficient Zipcars will be available for use 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The vehicles are located in reserved spaces at the Dairy Bar, Thompson Hall and Quad Way in Lower Campus, and are available to all faculty, staff and students ages 18 and older. Durham residents ages 21 and older will also be able to join. Gas, insurance, 180 free miles, reserved parking and roadside assistance are included in low hourly and daily rates. – Erika Mantz,  Media Relations

It’s Curtains For You

UNH Produces Regional Premiere of New Broadway Musical, Curtains

I encourage you to go see Curtains this week.  I went to rehearsal last night and the production was so much fun.  I promise you will laugh out loud, applaud after every song and be on your feet at the end.  You will drive home giggling and singing.  It has everything  – the comedy is not really for young children – adult comedy.  Take a night out and enjoy the show.   Info – LN
