October 28, 2010, 7:30 pm - Special Event JASON PETTY   Jason Petty does a remarkably good job of rendering Williams' famous melodies with the silky warble and sob that recreate their touching simplicity. Jason doesn't just capture the phrasing and cadences of Williams' singing, he varies his delivery with the command of a performer who is fully inhabiting his character, not merely rendering him. He conveys the varied aspects of a complex man with subtlety, intelligence and compassion. The result is the exhilarating feeling of Williams on stage.Tickets: TBA December 10-12, 2010 NUTCRACKER - Educational Outreach Series Follow Clara and her Prince as they travel to exotic places during her dreams on Christmas Eve. Based on the story "The Nutcracker and the King of Mice" written by E.T.A. Hoffman, what we see on the stage today is different in detail from the original story, but the basic plot remains the same; The story of a young German girl who dreams of a Nutcracker Prince and a fierce battle against a Mouse King with seven heads. It is Christmas Eve at the Stahlbaum house and their annual Christmas Eve party grows festive as Uncle Drosselmeyer passes out gifts to the children. Clara’s Nutcracker becomes the hit of the party. That Nutcracker later becomes the dreams that build a beautiful ballet.

A jukebox musical, ALL SHOOK UP mixes a little bit of Shakespeare with a whole lot of Elvis, and guarantees that your entire family will be jumpin’ out of their blue suede shoes! The play sets the action in Smalltown, USA circa 1955. When “a rolling roustabout with a song in his soul and an eye for the ladies” rambles into town on his motorcycle, guitar slung over the leather jacket on his back, everyone eventually responds with new attitudes and welcome results. 
Swing to the sounds of the South Jackson Street Band as they give us “A Moonlight Serenade” under the stars on the grounds of the Civic Center. Bring your lawn chairs, tailgate, and enjoy the summer’s night while we swing and sway to the music of the Big Band Era and make our own Ice Cream Sundaes. 
Book and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens.
Music by Stephen Flaherty

The captivating, fun, exciting spirit that came to be known as "Beatlemania" is alive again in the Return-the world's most authentic and entertaining Beatles tribute band. These four lads, all in their early to mid-twenties, have carefully and skillfully recreated the Beatles experience by not only performing all the great songs of the original four, but also by sporting the same suits, boots, mop-tops, musical instruments, and gear. The Return make it possible for music fans from every generation to experience the same thrilling rush felt by fans who were fortunate enough to attend an actual Beatles in the 60’s.
