A Dance Musical Directed and Choreographed by DWIGHT BELL
You’ll be dancing in the streets with this new dance musical! It’s time to bring multiple generations of the family together for one big outdoor dance party. And let’s face it: At least half the fun of meeting up is having the young folks teach you the latest moves while the older relatives show how they used to get down back in the day! The Cookout is a dance musical that features all of your favorite songs to groove to. They transcend time and inspire you up off that picnic bench after a day of grilling and dining.
Early bird ticket sale going on now through April 19th. Tickets only $15 ($20 after.) You don't want to miss this brand new dance musical featuring hit songs like, "Candy" (Cameo), "Before I let go" (Frankie Beverly and Maze), and "Motownphilly" (Boyz II Men).

The Turner-Fischer Center invites you to a double-feature performance of mystery and intrigue in Gian Carlo Menotti’s classic The Medium, followed by Anthony Brandt and Neena Beber’s new chamber opera Kassandra.
The Medium presents the tragedy of a fake psychic who finds herself caught between two worlds: what she cannot wholly comprehend, and what she cannot believe. Kassandra is a modern update on the classic Greek myth of Kassandra, who rejected the advances of Apollo and was thus cursed to be right, yet never believed.
