See Yale Cabaret’s STYX SONGS. On the river that flows between life and death, the gathered spirits rage against the dying of the light; they offer their hopes and dreams, loves and losses, lies and ambitions. Drawn from a selection of texts that span 2,000 years and four continents, “Styx Songs” is a collaboration between the Schools of Music, Art, Architecture, and Drama. Yale Cabaret, 217 Park St. Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m.
