After 9 nominations for Tony Awards – and 6 wins – the Broadway musical, “La Cage aux Folles” makes it’s debut on the USC Columbia campus!
BGLSA and Carolina Productions team up once again to present an exciting, entertaining and unpredictable night that can only be called one thing: The Birdcage. Featuring Shangela, from RuPaul’s Drag Race as well as stage performances by a few of Columbia’s own drag performers, the event is sure to pack out as it does each year.The glamour begins a bit earlier this year though as Shangela will give a one hour intimate talk on her life experiences and journey as a performer at 6 p.m. in the ODK Room(Russell House room 315). The show will begin at 8 p.m. in the Russell House Ballroom.
Both events are free and open to all USC – Columbia students, faculty and staff with valid Carolina Cards.

On Wednesday, Carolina Productions brought the band Young The Giant to campus to play on the Greene Street Intramural fields. With the lines starting to form up around 6PM, it was certainly a well anticipated event.
With local band Death of Paris as openers, the band performed ten songs to a crowd of over 1,100 USC students, faculty and staff. Also from SC – southern California in their cases – the band performed hits like “Cough Syrup” and “My Body” their sounds bleeding across Columbia, being heard as far as the baseball game. Gamecock Radio even tweeted about the situation writing: As Young the Giant sings “My body tells me no, but I won’t quit, I want more,” Carolina rallies from a 4-run deficit to finish off ASU 6-4.
