Knights fans of all ages are invited to cheer on the varsity football team against Redan High School in this Friday’s Homecoming game!

A morning pep rally will ensure students, faculty and staff are sufficiently spirited in advance of the festivities, and the game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. at Walsh Field. The evening also marks a decade of Pace football, so we’ll welcome back and recognize alumni football players and cheerleaders.

Alumni and their families may still register for the 6 p.m. tailgate and barbecue. Not a Pace grad? Not to worry! We’ll have food trucks on hand and plenty of game-day food in our snack bar. Come one, come all!

It’s an exciting fall for Upper School theatre! The department will present two productions: Almost, Maine, a whimsical comedy about love and loss, on Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. and Oct. 12 at 3:15 p.m.; and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, scheduled for Oct. 25, 26 and 27 at 7 p.m. Due to popular demand, an additional performance of Beauty and the Beast has been added on Sunday, Oct. 28, at 2 p.m.!

Online ticket sales for both shows will begin on Friday, Sept. 28, at pace.booktix.com. Tickets for Almost, Maine are $5; tickets for Beauty and the Beast are $10 for students and $20 for adults.
