Coca-Cola Night Out Series OCT. 29 — Mystery Science Theater 3000 Live: The Great Cheesy Movie Circus Tour "A lot of our team are really excited about it," Ross enthuses of the first show in the Night Out Series. "It's the show live on stage; the robots will be on stage with them, the film they're watching and commenting on is 'No Retreat, No Surrender,' and the creator and original host, Joel Hodgson, will be here. So it's going to be a fun night of cheesy movie and cheesy commentary about the cheesy movie." DEC. 5 — The Swingles "Winter Tales" DEC. 8 — Boston Brass "Christmas Bells are Swingin'" FEB. 27 — Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo "'The Trocks' are an all-male dance company of classically trained ballet dancers who will be dancing all the parts," Ross explains. "The male roles, the female roles, in the tutus and every- thing. And toe shoes." "It's amazing dance and often hysterically funny. But more than that, it is brilliant execution," Galbraith adds. "The juxtaposition of the heavier male body dancing on toe shoes I think is something that's just really fascinating to watch — because they can," Ross continues. "It's just going to be a really fun night." APRIL 23 — Bollywood Boulevard Land O'Lakes Concert Series DEC. 17 — Robert Earl Keen "Merry Christmas from the Fam-O-Lee," with special guest Shinyribs OCT. 4 — Lyle Lovett and His Acoustic Group "Lyle keeps coming back with different groups — it's either his big band or with John Hyatt, just the two of them — and this time it's with his acoustic group," Ross shares. JAN. 10 — Jesse Cook MARCH 20 — Arlo Guthrie: Alice's Restaurant Back By Popular Demand "Arlo's humor is such that he's making fun of himself by still being on tour with the 'Alice's Restaurant' anniversary, so the name of the tour is 'Alice's Restau- rant: Back by Popular Demand,'" Ross says with a laugh. "It's what made Arlo a household name, and we're looking forward to having him back." Mattel Kids Series "I think it's so important for families to attend live performance together," Goodwin begins of the Kids Series. "When you come to the theater and you see a drama, it gives you the opportunity to grapple with life's biggest questions. So whether you're 80 or 8, it's an important way for families to communicate with one another and have those good conversa- tions. I think it's important to make time in our lives to do that." DEC. 23 — "The Polar Express" JAN. 25, & FEB 1, 8 — Trike Theatre's "A Year with Frog and Toad" FEB. 8 — Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood LIVE! 10 WHAT'S UP! AUGUST 4-10, 2019 See WAC Page 40 COVER STORY Photo courtesy Luke Cardew "With Windmill Theatre's 'Beep,' that's a very intimate experience," says vice president of learning and engagement Laura Goodwin of the Kids Series addition. "It's for younger children, very gentle storytelling, very small-scale puppets in a very intimate theater. So a really different kind of experience using puppetry." Photo courtesy Daniel Coston "I am super pumped about the Reduced Shakespeare Company's 'The Complete Works of William Shakespeare,'" public relations director Jennifer Wilson enthuses. The outrageous show will present "37 Shakespeare plays in 97 minutes" as part of the LOL @ WAC Series Oct. 17. "And this would be something that would be great for families. I think the opportunity to get an overview of all the plays in a funny CliffsNotes version would be a great opportunity."
