“STRUT” Fashion Show
On Saturday March 27, at 6 p.m., the Stuart C. Siegel Center will open its doors for “STRUT in Wonderland.” In preparation for what is likely Richmond’s most buzzed-about fashion show, “STRUT” organizers have laced this week with a litany of Wonderland-themed events. A mad-hat competition, tea party, and down-the-rabbit-hole potato sack race have occupied the University Student Commons since Monday afternoon. With the weekend steadily approaching and the main event looming overhead, the “STRUT” committee is taking extra care to make sure the word gets out. Tickets are $15 for the public and $10 for students are on sale now at the Siegel Center box office and Break Point Games Room in the Commons.
