A Murder Mystery Dinner Theater Play

U-32 Theater + Ruth's Speakeasy
Good for the Whole Family!
About the Show:
It’s a typical night at Ruth’s Speakeasy, where you can find the best jazz singers in town. Gangsters, crooked cops, businessmen, and rising stars can all be found there, and everyone respects Ruth’s rules of “no business” and “no guns.” However, betrayal, vengeance, and greed threaten the peace, and one person ends up killed. Was it the crooked police chief? The sultry jazz singer? A scorned woman? Join private investigator Maxwell Parker as he uncovers secrets and solves the mysteries of Slain at the Speakeasy.
- Show with Dinner tickets available only on-line until Monday, November 9. NO DINNER TICKETS AT THE DOOR.

Not All Colleges and Universities Require SATs/ACTs
Not all admissions processes are created equal. One major point of difference among colleges these days is how admissions officers consider your SAT scores. More schools are de-emphasizing SAT scores as part of your application with “test optional” and “test flexible” policies. One college has even eliminated SAT scores completely!
There are now over 800 accredited, bachelor-degree granting institutions that have changed their approach to standardized test scores. (Keep in mind that the majority of colleges, especially the more prestigious schools, do still require and strongly consider your SAT scores.) Let’s take a look at the different policies and which schools no longer require applicants to submit their scores for admission. Go to www.fairtest.org for more info
SAT / ACT Test preparation FREE
SAT test prep is offered free through Khan Academy by matching your PSAT scores. Students will learn about how to match their accounts at the December callback when they learn how to interpret their scores. ACT also offers free online ACT test prep.
