WHAT’S HAPPENING THURSDAY AUGUST 24 From symphony and dance to musical acts and comedians — like Trevor Noah who’s coming on Saturday, Aug. 26 — the Hult Center always has a little something for everyone. But, if you’re trying to make it to all your favorite Hult events, it can definitely get spendy. Luckily, the Hult Center has announced its first ever “Year of Performance” contest, a contest in which the winner will receive a year’s worth of free tickets to the upcoming Hult Presents show series. To enter, all you need to do is visit HultCenter.org/contest and submit a statement on why you should win a year’s worth of performances. Along with winning a pair of tickets to Hult Presents shows, the winner will also receive tickets to a few selected shows from the Hult Center’s resident companies like Eugene Symphony, Eugene Ballet, Theater League and Radio Redux. The contest is open until 11:59 pm Sept. 7. Finalists will be invited to attend the winning announcement during the Hult Center’s 35th anniversary celebration on Sept. 16. There will also be prizes announced for runner-ups. — Meerah Powell PHOTO CREDIT: KWAKU ALSTON 12 A ugust 24, 2017 • eugeneweekly.com S U N R I S E 6 : 2 6 A M ; S U N S E T 8 : 01 P M A V G .
