:: Nina Storey: Music Box Thursday ::

I've seen Nina at the Music Box before and she knocked me out.
She tells great stories through her music, but her voice is her true gift: it can be strong and brassy or gentle and lithe.
She's *easily* worth the trip to Omaha.
Call some pals and make your plans now! :-)

Music Box: 7777 Cass Street; get to 72nd and Dodge, go north on 72nd for two blocks to Cass and turn left.
Tickets: $12 in advance through ticketmaster or $15 day-of-show. This is an 18+ show.

:: Complete Works of Wm. Shakespeare (Abridged) ::

Shakespeare as written by Reader's Digest, acted by Monty Python, and performed at the speed of light. This comic show takes the audience on a roller coaster ride of all of the Bard's 37 plays in less than two hours. It is like Shakespeare meets Saturday Night Live as the five-actor troupe takes shots at all of Shakespeare's canon.

Presented in the Miller Theatre; 51st & Saint Paul Avenue; Lincoln, NE. The box office is now open 2-5 p.m. M-SA at 465-2384.
Ticket prices: $10 adult; $7.50 youth 12-18 and seniors; $5 children under 12 and college students from other colleges other than NWU

Please plan to join us. I would also invite you to forward this message to others who might be interested.

Sincere thanks,
Jay Scott Chipman, Director of Theatre Nebraska Wesleyan University (jsc@NebrWesleyan.edu)

:: Theater Arts For Youth (TAFY) Open House Sept 13 ::

Spend the morning with your family at LCP! Learn about and register for classes, meet the instructors, theater make-up demonstration, refreshments, tour the Playhouse & play theater games. Lincoln Community Playhouse, 56th & Normal, 9am-Noon

The Playhouse offers after school and weekend classes for preschoolers through grade 12. Classes begin Sept 20th.

:: Third Chair Chamber Players ::

The first concert begins with a madrigal by Orlando Gibbons that has been set for a quartet of saxophones. Odd? Not at all. Although the modern sxophone didn't exist during the Baroque period, this instrument is the closest of all the contemporary wind instruments to the human voice. What better way to present a vocal quartet in a uniquely original fashion!

The quartet will also perform the now-famous Pachelbel Canon in an arrangement meant for three voices and a bass instrument, as well as a beautiful, ecclesiastical and little-known work by Carolus Hacquart. Representing the brilliant, self-indulgent virtuosos of Italy are Geminiani's Trio Sonata for two violins and Vivaldi's Concerto fo harp (played here on guitar by Rusty Banks). Rounding out the program will be a Concert from Rameau's Concert Royale, and the D Major Quartet composed by the most famous of J.S. Bach's sons, C.P.E. Bach.

Friday, September 12 at 8pm & Sunday September 14th at 2pm.
All TCCP concerts will take place at The Loft At The Mill...8th & P in the Haymarket.
The Holiday Inn parking garage will offer parking for Loft events for $1.
Prices for Third Chair Chamber Players concerts are: Adults: $15.00; Students: $5.00; Children 12 and Under: Free Admission
Admission is paid at the door. Reservations can be made by calling the Third Chair Chamber Players at 429-TCCP, or by sending an e-mail to info@tccp.us.

You can plan on TCCP's usual eclectic mix of classic, contemporary, strange and beautiful.
