SDSU Social Calendar: December Events to Add to Your List

To wrap up San Diego State University’s fall 2023 semester, the festivities have begun. This December join us in this list of events you can’t miss!

Throughout the first weeks of the month, you can enjoy the play Mr. Burns, A Post Electric Play, brought to SDSU at the new Main Stage Theatre. On Dec. 4, the highly awaited Aztec Rock Hunger Results Ceremony of this year’s donations will be announced.

Also hosted by A.S., be sure to attend the last Monday Night Movie of the semester, “The Polar Express. To take care during these finals week, attend a Talk It Out meeting, Everyday Mindfulness and Meditation, to relieve academic stress and prepare to do well on the last exams. Take a break from studying and come to the Viejas Arena for the Queens of the Stone Age concert. Closing out the semester, SDSU Counseling and Psychological Services will be providing a series of Everyday Mindfulness and Meditation sessions.

Mr. Burns, A Post Electric Play
2 and 7 p.m., Dec. 1- 10

Organized by the School of Theatre, Television, and Film, “Mr. Burns, A Post Electric Play”, the American black comedy play, written by Anne Washburn with music by Michael Friedman, comes to SDSU this December.

The play moves us into the future, forward nearly a century, where the collapse of civilization brings a group of survivors who reminisce past pop culture references by memory like the “Cape Feare” episode of ”The Simpsons.” Holding on to the past is the way they bring live entertainment into this post-apocalyptic society.

Mr. Burns, A Post Electric Play will be presented at the new Main Stage Theatre. Tickets can be purchased through the PSFA website.

SDSU Javanese Gamelan Ensemble
6-8 p.m., Dec 4
