Louise Reichlin & Dancers present:
The Reality Series
May 10, 2008
Director Louise Reichlin was inspired by some of the creative appeals she actually receives, and this work is both a dance and an interactive identity mystery. The audience discovers clues and controls movement themes between shadowy dancers, working together to strip away identities and layers of realities in order to solve the mystery. The piece was developed in collaboration between Reichlin and the dancers with the content humorous, frightening, and touching. Help us solve the puzzle and experience “The Shampoo” (where someone gets a hairwash) and participate in some cultural and hip-hop movement in “Los(t) Angeles”. Also, selections will be presented from Reichlin’s early classic “The Tennis Dances”.
Performance Date:
Saturday, May 10 at 2pm & 7pm
Tickets: $20-$25 (Discounts for DRC Members, Seniors, and Students with ID)

(Out)Law & Order
June 12, 2008
Myths about America’s epic westward expansion, cowboys, gunslingers, immigrant settlers, and native peoples are engrained in our culture – and handed down from generation to generation. In (OUT)LAW & ORDER, eighth grade students grapple with American history and the traditional ideas of honor and justice, of standing your ground and rugged individualism in the Old West and as lived today in students’ own territories of street, schoolyard and family.

Phillips Performing Arts presents:
Seussical
June 27 – 28, 2008
Based on the writings of the beloved children's author Theodore Geisel, “Suessical” incorporates elements of 14 of his classics, including Horton Hears a Who, Horton Hatches the Egg, Gertrude McFuzz, The Butter Battle Book, If I Ran the Circus, McElligott's Pool, I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew and of course, The Cat in the Hat. The main story involves Horton the Elephant's efforts to save his friend Jojo and the other inhabitants on Who, even though everyone else in the Jungle of Nool thinks Horton is the "Biggest Blame Fool" for believing in people who live on a small speck of dust. But Horton is a determined, loyal and faithful friend who fights for what he knows to be true. In the end, Seussical is really about believing in yourself, keeping promises and the rewards of being an independent "thinker."
