Swing Barons are a Los Angeles based big band paying tribute to the greatest bands of the swing era. They specialize in recreating the famous Kansas City sound of the late 30's and 40's, such as the great Count Basie Orchestra. This style of music was famous for being the very best dance music out there in a time when everyone who was anyone knew how to dance. They also have a close affinity for the Duke Ellington repertoire, as well as music from many other great bands of the swing era. Come and check them out and you'll find that you can't help but want to get on your feet and move to that swingin' beat. What? Swing Dance hosted by Get Hep Swing When? Saturday, June 30th. Where? Slovenian Workmen's Home, 15335 Waterloo Road Dance lessons? Yes. Beginner-friendly jitterbug from 8-9 Is there a band? Yes. The L.A. Swing Barons (from Los Angeles!) play from 9-12. Is there a DJ?

Over 150 people attending each month and attendees have a variety of dance experience (including none) and come from all walks of life and ages. You will not need to bring a dance partner.

We provide the highest quality swing dance instruction from some of the nicest, most patient people you will ever meet. Our staff includes regional, national, and international swing dance competitors (and winners) in multiple swing dance forms.

Are you a man who wants to learn how to follow or a woman who wants to learn how to lead? That's cool! This idea is not new to the swing dance scene. We are the easiest club to join. If you have an interest, you are in. :) We love spreading the gospel of swing dancing and we are excited to share the language and culture of this truly American, urban folk dance form with you. It is important for us to let you know that this dance style started in the African-American ballrooms of Harlem, New York in the late 1920s/early 1930s. This dance has a gritty earthiness that is incredibly empowering, beautiful, and joyful. We can't wait for you to experience this conversation of dance with us. Attire is anything from casual to dressy. The best shoes to wear are comfortable and will allow you to pivot and turn easily. We make learning to partner dance easy and enjoyable. Please join us the second Friday of every month at the Lakewood Masonic Temple and the last Saturday of every month at the Slovenian Workmen's Home.

29 Jun '18

*AURORA COMMUNITY THEATRE * Contact: Christine Patronik-Holder 330-562-1818 *Award Winning* *NEXT to NORMAL **Opens **June 29* *NEXT to NORMAL*, featuring an electrifying pop-rock score, opens June 29 at Aurora Community Theatre, 115 E. Pioneer Trail for a seven-performance run at 8 pm Fridays and Saturdays through July 14, plus 3 pm Sunday July 8. *Tom Kitt* composed the music with book and lyrics by *Brian Yorkey* of this American musical, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, three Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score, and the designation as “one of the year’s ten best shows” by critics around the country, including *The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone *and *The New York Times.* *NEXT to NORMAL* tells the story of the Goodman family. Dad’s an architect, teenaged daughter and son are bright and wise-cracking, while mom rushes frenziedly to pack lunches, pour cereal and cope. Audiences will warmly embrace each character in this story of a modern suburban family as they struggle to manage normally under the mantle of mom’s bipolar disorder*. “A brave, breathtaking musical. It is something much more than a feel-good musical: it is a feel-everything musical.” ---* The New York Times* *Marc C. Howard* directs and choreographs this deeply moving piece of musical theatre with* D. Keith Stiver*, musical director and* Tina Davis*, assistant director. *Jessica DeFrange* takes on the role of Diana Goodman with *Paul G. Josell* as her husband, Dan; *Libby Kendzerski* as their daughter Natalie, and *Logan Soland *as son, Gabriel “Gabe.” *Stephen Blauch* plays Natalie’s boyfriend, Henry, while *Ron Davis* takes on the dual roles of Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden. *Erin Matson* is the producer, *Ann Nyenhuis*, stage manager/technical director, with* Dave Nyenhuis*, assistant stage manager. *T.L.

Individuals with bipolar disorder can quickly swing from extremes of happiness, energy and clarity to sadness, fatigue and confusion. These shifts can be so devastating that individuals may choose suicide. All people with bipolar disorder have manic episodes — abnormally elevated or irritable moods that last at least a week and impair functioning. But not all become depressed.” *“NEXT to NORMAL* is fabulous; make time to see the show. The script zings, both funny and painful. The music pulses, keeping a tough subject palatable—even entertaining." *Psychology Today* “Beg, Borrow, or Steal to get a ticket to this show … It’s a fantastic piece of musical theater…you will be entertained, touched, moved, and devastated, all in two hours with electric guitars. Trust me, it works.” Tara Kennedy *Onstage blog* “The music is outstanding. That’s much of the reason we chose it,” said director Howard, who also serves as the president of Aurora Community Theatre’s Board of Trustees and chair of the play selection committee. AMAZON.com patron music reviews of the original Broadway recording of *NEXT to NORMAL *as 4.7 out of 5 with comments such as: § “*NEXT to NORMAL* is a breath of fresh air on the Broadway stage. Very rarely does a show this fantastic come along.” § “It is so rare nowadays to hear music written in the traditional AABA musical theatre structure in a pop style that truly compels you to listen and draws you into the dramatic conflicts of the story. So many pop musical scores are bland and generic, but not this little treasure.” § “I have not had a musical touch my heart like this in years. I can't stop listening to it.” AUDIENCE ADVISORY: *NEXT to NORMAL* contains strong language and adult situations that some may find offensive. *NEXT to NORMAL* is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
