Exclusive Video: Getting Mona Lisa's Clothes Off

Today, in honor of Valentine's Day, I want to share with you a special exclusive "love-themed" video preview from Mask and Wig's very funny spring show "Oh the Humanities" which just opened up on campus.

...This summer I had the opportunity to read an early treatment of Mask and Wig's 121st annual spring show "Oh the Humanities!" and it was great! I encourage everyone to see it if they can.

In the video above, a male artist woos a girl with a love song about painting her.

Here's the juicy synopsis:

In Mask and Wig's 121st Annual Production, "Oh, the Humanities!" The Mask and Wig Club takes its patrons back to one of the most inspirational, creative, and reasonable places in history: Florence, Italy during the Renaissance. 

Michelangelo is the new up-and-coming artist in Florence, while Leonardo Da Vinci is the perennial powerhouse Renaissance man. But Leo's girlfriend Mona Lisa smooches Mike in public, making the front page of the tabloids! Suddenly, Mike is widely successful and Leo has fallen from his perch. However, the political genius Machiavelli, seeing that Da Vinci is down and out, offers his help as an art agent. Almost overnight Da Vinci's paintings are selling for mega-florins again and Mike is just a passing fad. But all is not as it seems. What shifty business is Machiavelli up to? What is Mike up against? Paints, plots, and the classical beauty of our eight-"girl" kickline, all in this year's Mask and Wig masterpiece: "Oh, the Humanities!"

Want to see the show?

Due to continued delays in the renovation of our Historic Clubhouse, this year's production will be held at the Prince Music Theater (1412 Chestnut St, Philadelphia, PA 19102).

Thanks to Fan Zhou (C'10) from the Glee Club, once again I placed my order to send a Singing Valentine to you and all of my readers... my "special someones".  It comes from the Glee Club to you ... via video!

Thank you readers out there for coming back each day! 

And I would also like to take this opportunity to dedicate this video to the memory of the Glee Club's former director, Bruce "Monty" Montgomery.  (click here to see exclusive DT videos from when the Glee Club honored Monty on his 80th birthday)

Get serenaded above!

Overcoming Adversity: His Inspirational Story

I received this inspirational video of Kyle Burr, a Penn undergrad and thought it was worth sharing.

"On Oct. 23, 2007, Kyle Burr, a senior at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, was diagnosed with testicular cancer while studying abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland. He had an operation to remove the tumor there, and returned to New York where he underwent three cycles of chemotherapy. On Feb. 11 of 2008, Kyle, who is majoring in International Relations and African Studies, officially entered remission. 

Kyle decided to run the marathon as a testament to the fact that it's possible to overcome just about anything, and that anything is possible if you dedicate yourself to it. He says he isn't running just for himself, but also in support of cancer patients, survivors and victims everywhere.

When asked why he decided to run the marathon, Kyle responded, 'The challenge itself. What's harder than running a marathon? I want to be able to say I did that, and in less than a year since I even began receiving cancer treatment. I mean there's really no better way of proving that absolutely nothing can hold me back.'"
