The Department of Fine Arts is proud to present the dazzling musical by Kander & Ebb with choreography inspired by Fosse - CHICAGO: TEEN EDITION. In “Roaring Twenties” Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap... until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess," Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune, and acquittal. The show runs March 6-8 and 13-15 at 7:30 pm. For more information and tickets, visit our website: www.cambridgetheatre.org

In light of the ongoing challenges associated with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), it is recommended that seniors utilize The Georgia Student Finance Application, or GSFApp, as a good alternative in addition to applying to FAFSA. The GSFApp offers a short application process that is specifically tailored to the requirements of the Zell Miller and HOPE Scholarships. It remains valid for ten years and can be done in addition to the FAFSA.

The GSFApp simplifies the application process by focusing on key eligibility criteria, including academic achievement and residency status, while bypassing the detailed financial information required by FAFSA. By encouraging students to utilize the GSFApp, colleges can ensure their state scholarship is in place while the FAFSA is processed. Please complete the GSFApp online at www.gafutures.org.
