Fractured fairytales come to life in this timeless and relevant Tony Award-winning musical. A childless baker and his wife endeavor to lift their family curse by journeying into the woods, where they are met by a host of Brothers Grimm characters. Everyone in the story has a wish—and in true fairytale fashion, their wishes are granted—but what they have to do to get their wishes is a whole different story!

PepperDiners is a fun way to personally connect with your Pepperdine peers in the LA area... over dinner! With so many colleagues spread out over such a large city, staying in touch and attending events with folks "on the wrong side of town" can be difficult to do.

You are invited to be a PepperDINER and join a local alumni or friend at a restaurant or home in your part of town, for a casual, no host, dinner.

Registration is required!  
Online registration for this event.

Flu Shots are free!
If your son or daughter missed our big Stick or Treat flu shot clinic, it’s not too late.  The Health Center medical team will offer one more clinic this month.  Students should keep an eye on the digital ads and the Student Health Center Facebook page for the dates.  They can also call the Student Health Center to book an appointment at 310-506-4316, option 3, OR they can book an appointment online, pepperdine.medicatconnect.com.  Don’t forget to remind your son or daughter to hand wash, cough in a sleeve, avoid others who are sick, and to come to the SHC if they are having symptoms.

Massage therapy now available for students:
Massage should not be considered a “luxury”, but an investment in our health and well-being. With student's fast paced and stressful schedules, massage therapy is one of the best ways to relax both physically and mentally! 
 
Massage Certificates are a great gift from mom or dad during midterms and finals!
Convenient, right on campus, at the Student Health Center!

Artists have been inspired by nature since the dawn of time. This exhibition features a diverse group of contemporary artists who comment on our relationship to the natural world. Their art reveals the complex ways nature functions in society—ranging from a source of beauty to be admired to a resource to be respected, utilized, and conserved. Works by artists such as Ed Ruscha, Joe Goode, Peter Alexander, Chuck Arnoldi, and many younger talents capture our complex and multifaceted connection with our environment.

Open Tuesday - Sunday, 11 AM to 5 PM, and one hour prior to most performances through intermission. Admission free. Please call 310.506.4851 for more information, or click here.
