Share a sandwich
Got a hankering for an authentic Philly cheesesteak? Stop by Burky’s Tavern in Greensburg for a hoagie from noon-10 p.m. Saturday and help feed someone else who might be hungry.

Dance festival
The Theatre & Dance Program’s Spring Dance Festival 2021 will include live performances at 1 and 6 p.m. Saturday on the Seton Hill University Campus Quad in Greensburg.
The festival features works by Seton Hill faculty and students, including “To Grieve: What is Felt but not Seen,” choreographed and performed by five students as a collective space for grieving, feeling and healing; “Paquita,” a ballet in two acts and three scenes first presented in 1846 at the Paris Opera Ballet; “Arrived,” created by adjunct professor Jadell Lee and student choreographers/performers as “a dynamic high-energy anthem piece predicated on being the person your dreams demand you to be”; and “I’m Still Standing,” set to a compilation of four Elton John songs and celebrating his life and career.
A limited number of free tickets will be available, first-come, first-served, on site for each performance. Social distancing requirements will be followed.
