Thursday Night Live offers students, faculty and community members a venue to socialize, sip a beverage and enjoy a wide range of performances in a casual but sophisticated setting. Dartmouth Opera Lab, players from the Barbary Coast Jazz Ensemble, the Dartmouth Dance Ensemble and diverse visiting artists all performed as part of Thursday Night Live's first year. Thursday Night Live takes place primarily in the Top of the Hop, several Thursdays each month during academic terms. One free drink ticket is available for each event, for each Dartmouth student 21 and older.
