Directing and starring is Haymarket Theatre Artistic Associate Vince Learned, with Courtney Piccoli (also choreographing), Laurie Martinez-Lessman and Maximillion Antoine. This powerhouse cast delivers sixteen fresh, new musical gems in a host of hot musical styles.

Brown’s songs take the audience from the deck of a 1492 sailing ship to a ledge fifty-seven stories above 5th Avenue, through an array of arresting characters that sing the songs and stories of today. Learned and company will transform the Haymarket Theatre into an intimate nightclub setting for this very special show.

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing has been selected by "A Book For All Kids," a citywide reading program for all elementary students, sponsored by the Lincoln Journal Star, Lincoln City Libraries and the Lincoln Community Playhouse.

:: Magnificent 7 CD Release Party ::

Magnificent 7...you know...that's a pretty damn good name for this band.
The more i listen to them, the more I like them.
They've recently completed a cd of original music and it's great.
I listened to it last night as I was cleaning up after my birthday party.
And it kept me going into the wee hours as I scrubbed down my house.
Well, they're having a CD Release Party/Gig at the Zoo Bar on Friday, Feb 6.
They'll get going around 9ish. And they're worth checking out.
Hit they're website for more info about the band: http://www.mag7band.com
