The Superior School of Dance presents
Little Red Riding Hood and the Storybook Mysteries
May 30 and 31
Show time is 7:00 pm
Little Red Riding Hood has opened her own detective agency.  In the style of Guy Noir, Red tells the story.  Her first client is Little Bo Peep who has, of course, lost her sheep.  We follow Red through Mother Goose Village where we meet Mary Contrary, Little Miss Muffet, Little Boy Blue, etc.  In Act II the clues lead Red through the Fairy Tale Forest where she encounters the Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears and the Big Bad Wolf, to name a few. 
This is not a dance Recital!  It is a show!

Johnny Winter
Friday, June 6 ~ 7:30 pm
Reserved tickets are $25 and $23 for Theatre Members
Grammy Award nominated, blues legend, Johnny Winter brings his masterful style of electric guitar to the Calumet Theatre stage. For over 30 years, Johnny Winter has been a guitar hero without equal. Signing to Columbia records in 1969, Johnny immediately laid out the blueprint for his fresh take on classic blues. Constantly shifting between simple country blues in the vein of Robert Johnson, to all-out electric slide guitar blues-rock, - Johnny has always been one of the most respected singers and guitar players in rock and the clear link between British blues-rock and American Southern rock.
