Join the ladies of WIP for a Sunday afternoon outing to Mandeville's 30 by Ninety Theater. The play, often described as Broadway's greatest farce, is light, fast-paced, witty, irreverent and one of the funniest musicals ever written.

Purchase your own ticket through the 30 by Ninety website and meet us there!
Please email Rhonda (at rhonda@MITnorthshore.com ) to let us know that you are joining us!
