At Tepe Gawra, an ancient site in the modern country of Iraq, Penn Museum archaeologists discovered an artifact similar to one you may have in your kitchen: a strainer used to make cheese more than 5,000 years ago. Learn more about the deep history of this Middle Eastern classic and the science that lies behind cheese-making with a short presentation by an expert. Then roll up your sleeves and try your hand at mixing and straining. You will prepare your own cup of cheesy goodness that only needs the magic of time to reach its full potential.
Free with Penncard. Dinner and materials provided.

Pan-Asian Dance Troupe presents our 22nd Annual Show, Horizons. Join us as we dance into the horizons and push the boundaries of movement.
Our story begins with the end of civilization. But don’t worry, like herpes, humanity just won’t go away. In the ruins of society, our hero Max longs to get away from the small world of his village. Found as a baby with a map leading to a land unknown, Max is determined to follow his destiny out in the wasteland. There’s only one problem: Max is awful at staying alive. Enter Jane, a rugged wasteland veteran and the only person who can get him to his destination in one piece. After agreeing to split what they find 50/50, our duo sets off on the adventure of a lifetime, braving killer robots, zombies with class consciousness, and unhealthy levels of background radiation. What will they find at the end of their journey? How did our world end up like this? And do bunker roommates have to pay rent? Find out in Mask and Wig’s 134th Annual Production: A Doomsday in the Life!
