ERIC O’SHEA TO PERFORM AT UMC
Eric O’Shea will perform as part of Tuesday Night Fever at 8 p.m. April 7, in Bede Ballroom. O’Shea takes his audience back to some of the best times of life – youth. His clean wit and priceless observations pick up where home movies leave off. Amidst all of the innocence, creeps in the embarrassment, the childhood antics, the humor, remembering some awkward, hilarious situations. Sponsored by UMC Student Activities, the performance is free and open to the public.
