Take this exit, continue west through one >traffic light. The next traffic light will be Campus Drive, on which >you will turn left and enter the campus. Stay to your right, going >through the traffic circle and keeping to your right. You will go >between the construction for the Maryland Center for the Performing >Arts on your right, and a huge parking garage (behind which is the >stadium) on your left. Soon, you'll reach a second traffic circle, >through which you pass, still staying to the right and going straight. >A soccer field will be on your right, and the next stop sign you get >to, turn left. > The large parking lot that is now to your right is Lot 1, >and Tawes Theatre looks west across it. Park in Lot 1 (it's open to >visitors without a permit after 4 PM on weekdays), and walk >towards the theatre, and you should see us gathering out on a brick >stage in a small courtyard next to the theatre entrance. The main >building entrance is actually on the opposite side of the building, >and the room for the performance (2102) is on the second floor. > >By Public Transportation: > The College Park Metro is not really within walking distance of >Tawes; there are shuttles that run from the station to campus, or >you can take a cab. Tawes is at least a mile or two from the >Metro station. >-- >---------1---------1---------1---------1---------1---------1---------- >|||/ Joseph Zitt ===== jzitt@humansystems.com ===== Human Systems \||| >||/ Maryland? ================ SILENCE: The John Cage Mailing List \|| >|/ http://www.realtime.net/~jzitt ========== <*> <*> ========= ecto \| >
