The course will start and finish at Awpie Way located just outside of Dean Hall. You will start promptly at 1:00 PM and take a 3.16-mile walk, jog, or run through the quiet, residential streets of Franklin. Every turn along the course will be clearly marked by a directional sign pointing you down the right path and a course marshal will be present at every road to ensure your safety.

At around the 1 and 2-mile marks, there will be a water station for you to take a break in and re-hydrate. Upon your return, you will be greeted by Boomer the Bulldog at the finish line and ushered to the serving area where you will get to enjoy grilled burgers, hot dogs, a salad and fruit station, and two buckets full of Gatorade bottles to reward yourself for finishing the Dean Dash 5K! 

Stick around after the race for the award ceremony presentation, live entertainment by the band Barefoot Young, inflatable games sponsored by Student Activities Committee, lawn games hosted by Outdoor Recreation and Activity Club, and picture opportunities with Boomer and a Franklin FD firetruck!

The School of the Arts at Dean College will perform The Glass Menagerie, beginning Thursday, April 19 through Sunday, April 22, 2018.

One of the great plays of American Theatre, The Glass Menagerie is what Williams called a “memory” play. Controlling the present and the past of the story about harsh realities of his family’s impoverished existence, it is narrated by one of its central characters. Through desperation and courage, this play explores beauty and meaning in the confusion of living.

The Dean College production of The Glass Menagerie will take place in the Performing Arts Studio Stage (PAS) at Dean College, 61 School Street, Franklin at 7:30 p.m. Thursday– Saturday and 2:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. General admission is $22, Seniors $12 and Children $7. Please note that this performance will take place in a venue that is not handicap accessible.
