Golfers will compete as a team in a four-person scramble and will have the opportunity to win additional prizes during the round by participating in various hole-specific challenges.

A four-person scramble features teams of four players competing against one another. In this format, each team’s players hit from the tee box, then the team members choose the best of the four shots for the next shot. All team members then play the second shot from that location, and again choose the best shot. Play continues in this manner until the hole is completed.

The Multicultural Leadership Team presents Next Step 2021: Looking to the Future. Reclaiming Justice & Identity on Saturday, March 27 from 1-3pm. The event will be held in person in the BBC as well as available via Zoom.

Women Empowered presents Trinity’s annual Feminar held in the Grand Lobby on Thursday, March 25 from 4-6pm.

Trinity Theater presents the interactive play “Investigative Support” by Emma Schneider on Thursday, March 25, Friday, March 26, and Saturday, March 27  at 4:00pm.

For tickets, email box.office@trnty.edu or call 708.293.4537

Synopsis:
Investigative Support is an immersive play, which means that the play gets to break a lot of traditional theatre rules. Instead of taking place on a stage, this play takes place on the “Trin Trail.” Instead of actors only being in character during their scenes, the actors of this play are in character all the time. Instead of having one ending, this play has five!

That also means we’re going to ask you to break a few theatre rules with us. Instead of sitting in a seat, you’ll be walking along various trails. Instead of staying as quiet as possible, you’ll be asked to talk to the actors in meaningful ways. Instead of simply receiving the story of the play, you’ll be asked to decide what happens. It will be fun, and we hope you’ll lean into the challenge of breaking theatre rules with us!
