WINNER! 2001 TONY AWARD FOR “BEST SPECIAL THEATRICAL EVENT”

and WINNER! 2001 EMMY AWARD FOR “BEST CHOREOGRAPHY”

BLAST! is comprised of 35 brass, percussion and visual performers brought together in a unique explosion of music and theatre. Born on athletic fields across the nation, BLAST! is a novel art form evolved from the showmanship of outdoor pageantry. According to Bruce McCabe of the Boston Globe: “Blast! is an exuberant 15-number show that doesn't falter while bridging the categories of classical, blues, jazz, rock-n-roll and techno-pop music. Blast! stands, blows, pounds, marches and whirls. It sent a full house into repeated bursts of cheering and applause.”

The Mt Carmel Baptist Church Steppers are back by popular demand on Thursday night. Welcome the Ottawa Township High School Marching band from Ottawa, Illinois as they play some of your favorite marching tunes.

Curtain Talk begins at 6:45 PM
