Purple Passion Talent
Showcase

Amidst Grand Valley State University’s split campus between
Allendale and Pew lies an array of talented students and a lack of a space to
let those talents truly shine.  To poke a
hole in such limited outlets, Sigma Lambda Beta is presenting the 10^th
year anniversary edition of Purple Passion. The showcase will feature hidden
talent and highlight diverse performances among those in our own campus
community as well as all over Michigan. The event is free for attendees, and
will feature free food as well. Catch an unveiling of the community’s hidden
talents tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the Grand River Room of Kirkhof.

approved.  Gain some cultural exposure at
Sexy Accent Night on Saturday from 7-11:45 p.m. in the Grand River Room.

Johnny Beehner at Dr.
Grins

Comedian Johnny Beehner will be gracing the stage of Dr.
Grins this weekend, centering himself amongst the butt of his own jokes and
telling tales of growing up as an awkward child in a huge family. His clean and
clever style of comedy is what keeps the audience laughing, or it may be his
talent from a strong background in improvisational theater. Beehner has been
performing stand up comedy since 1999, and can be heard on XM/Sirius Satellite
radio and on the Bob and Tom nationally syndicated radio show. Although constantly
traveling across the country to make people laugh, he will make a pit stop in
Grand Rapids. You can catch him at Dr. Grins inside the B.O.B. from tonight
until Saturday. For a list of show times and ticket prices, visit http://www.thebob.com/drgrinscomedy/stand-up-comedian.php?id=278
