A few words of wisdom from the Bethany ambassador team.

Get your tickets to see "Carpe Dentum" during Fall Festival weekend! It's going to be great!

The box office is open to purchase tickets for the fall one-act play, Carpe Dentum. Written and directed by senior Natalie Hennig, Carpe Dentum is an oultandish murder mystery comedy set in 1927 (a nod to Bethany's founding year!) Carpe Dentum follows the zany "Detective Centennial" as he tries to find the culprit of a murder that took place at Sharpe Family Dentistry and Hair Salon. Hilarious twists and turns are bound to ensue! Seize the day (or the teeth?) and bring your family and friends to see Carpe Dentum on the campus green under the tent during Fall Festival weekend! $5 General Admission tickets can be purchased by visiting the box office link in the comments or by stopping by or calling (507-344-7374) the box office desk in the YFAC between 1-4, Monday- Friday. Don't miss the show, September 25-27.
