Nayada and the Fisherman
and Walpurgis Night
International Ballet
Nayada and the Fisherman, is the story of a young fisherman who finds an unusual catch - a beautiful nymph. He sets the nymph free, but she follows the fisherman back to his village, where she is greeted by the villagers, and, of course, his girlfriend. Nayada and the Fisherman is a charming one act ballet with pleasantly varied choreography by Jules Perrot (Giselle) and music by Cesare Pugni.
Walpurgis Night is a ballet from Gounods opera Faust. Act V of the opera is set on Walpurgis Night, meaning Witches' Night, when allegedly the witches hold a large celebration and await the arrival of spring. Although the Walpurgis Night ballet sequence from Act V is often omitted from staged opera performances due to high costs, it is frequently performed separately as part of a ballet program due to its popularity.

Bus Stop
In the middle of a howling snowstorm, a bus out of Kansas City pulls up at a roadside diner. All roads are blocked, and the weary travelers are going to have to hole up until morning. Cherie, a nightclub chanteuse has been pursued and finally kidnapped by a twenty-one-year-old cowboy with a ranch of his own and the romantic methods of a headstrong bull. Even as she's evading his clumsy advances she muses, "Somehow deep inside of me I got a funny feeling I'm gonna end up in Montana.

The Battle Of Shallowford
At Foothills Play
The year is 1938.  With the rest of the world on the brink of war, the sleepy Southern town of Shallowford is more concerned with local gossip while gathered around the radio at the general store.  Uninterested in global events, their patriotic duty is rekindled when they hear the news of invaders from outer space.  Not realizing the announcement is Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds", they band together and prepare for battle. Friday and Saturday shows are at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 3 p.m.  Call  for ticket prices and reservations.
Cost: $ 12-$ 5

Born Of the Night
The Warehouse Theatre's Haunted House Experience
As darkness settles in on The Castle's turrets and the village walls, werewolves, demons, villains, vampires and monsters ready for the prowl.  Fear descends in a spine-tingling chill on reverent theatre-goers, pure-hearted actors and innocent theatre maidens.
To counter the fear and to celebrate the very thrill of fearfulness, all theatre lovers and devotees, dressed in their finest Gothic attire, gather inside The Castle to imbibe, feast, enjoy, and dance away the fear of those creatures born of the night.

Finding Your Inner Fish
by Neil H. Shublin
The Bancroft Lecture Series
Why do we look the way we do? The answers to this question come from seemingly strange places: from the bodies, fossils and DNA of everything from microbes to worms and fish. We will learn about the discovery of a key link between fish and amphibian and see how this ancient event tells us about the basic structure of our body. Together with DNA, new fossils are giving us surprising insights into ourselves.

Kumba's vocals mix seamlessly with the deep-fried guitar of Mathus and the gritty beats of Kimbrough and Burnside, recalling all at once Miles Davis' Live Evil psychedelia, old and new country blues, ancient African history, and downhome rock n' roll."  Corey Harris, Living Blues
Guelel Kumba comes from the Futa Tooro region of West Africa, and is a member of the FULANI people, nomadic cow people who spent centuries in the North African desert when it was still green before settling on the Atlantic Coast where many were captured by their enemies and sold into slavery. Kumba was born into the West African social caste known as GRIOTS, who pass down a millenniums worth of oral tradition including songs, stories, and lineages.

An Evening with Hope Nunnery
The Hub City Writers Project presents an Evening with Hope Nunnery. Born in the woods of South Carolina, Hope Nunnery experienced gospel music from an early age. As a little girl, she listened in awe to the Southern Baptist Church music, and was fascinated by the genre's melodic, melancholy undertones. She has kept this influence tight and close to her heart, adding blues, country, old time and bluegrass to create a cornucopia of pure American roots music.
