Fall Family Weekend 2025

A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop Of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theatre-goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world.

The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II" - after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it, BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out of this world origins and intent towards global domination!

Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for anyone under 18 purchase at: https://hatfieldhall.ludus.com/200486259

Rose-Hulman’s 3rd annual Oktoberfest is coming back to BSB Lawn! Bring your family and enjoy the evening as you listen to live music, German style foods, and our own uniquely brewed, Rose-Hulman themed, Vienna Lager from Terre Haute Brewing Company! There will be yard games, t-shirts, and a unique glass as well. T-shirts, glasses, and lager will be on a first-come basis for students (sponsored by RHA and SGA funds). Parents can pre-order to ensure sizing and availability OR purchase at the gate (but can not guarantee sizing or availability if paying at the gate).

Pre-orders close 10/23/25 at 11:55 PM.
Each pre-order will include a t-shirt of your size, a mug, and a lager ticket.
Students can pick up the pre-order next week to help avoid lines the day of the event. An email will go out to all registrants when the orders are ready for pick up in the Student Affairs office. Otherwise, there will be a pre-order table you can pick them up from at the event.
