Last year Pink Martini’s lead vocalist Storm Large performed a sold out show. This year, Large returns with her fearless band, Le Bonheur, to perform a broad range of rock anthems, Broadway tear-jerkers, tunes from the American songbook, and her own original material. Expect an unrestrained and impassioned exploration of love, desire, and truth in Larges spellbinding performance, Songs of Seduction and Obsession.
*Storm Large & Le Bonheur perform at the Center Theater on September 24, 2015 @ 7:30pm. More information can be found on her website.

Dr. Seuss’ classic tale comes alive in this engaging stage adaptation of Cat in the Hat. The show is recommended for grades pre-K through 4th. You’ll recognize the rhyme and have a fun-filled time during this fast-paced play about a brother, a sister, and their unexpected visitor. The mischievous Cat in the Hat transforms a dull, rainy day into a madcap adventure that Sally and her brother will never forget, thanks to some tricks (and a fish) and Thing One and Thing Two. Arguably the most famous children’s book of all time, The Cat in the Hat is a non-stop ride of hilarity and laughter; everyone will leave smiling.
*The Cat in the Hat takes place at the Center Theater on September 27, 2015 @ 12:00pm & 3:00pm. More information can be found on its website.
