ISU Statesmen Choral Concert
James Rodde, conductor
Performance: The Importance of Being Earnest
Two young men, Algernon and Jack, are good friends and are most desperately in love with two young women, Cecily and Gwendolyn. The obstacle to both their plans is that Cecily and Gwendolyn state most emphatically that they cannot love or marry any man whose name isn't Earnest. The stage is set for deception. This satire pokes fun at rules, love, egos, and behavior, and has been called one of the greatest comedies ever written.
Walk-in Argentine Tango
This Milonga (dance party) is a multi-level class with lots of time to enjoy the music and dance.

From 5-7pm, the dance floor is yours for dancing under the guidance of Valerie and working with different partners. An intermediate level figure will also be introduced during this time.
Performance: Chicago
This vibrant play has everything that makes Broadway great: a universal tale of fame, fortune and "All That Jazz." No wonder CHICAGO has been honored with six Tony Awards, two Oliver Awards, a Grammy and thousands of standing ovations! This show delivers one show-stopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you've ever seen!
