Mere soap and water stops people in their tracks. Young and old gaze in wonder, staring with awe. What child can resist the urge to endlessly chase and pop these magical, fragile orbs? Parents will love watching their kids (and teens) just being kids, again! And the older folks just love to watch the beauty of the bubbles as they drift through the air. It is peaceful and magical to behold. No device screens. No usb cables. No WiFi connection. Just a personal connection to simple joy. Pure. Clean. Fun. For everyone.

SHELDON COMMUNITY THEATRE 7:00 pm Sheldon High School Auditorium Admission: $10 (children ages 5-17), $15 (adults)Singing in the RainSingin’ In The Rain takes place in 1927 at the dawn of “talkies” in Hollywood. Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are two silent-film era stars that made many pictures together due to their on-screen chemistry. However, after the success of The Jazz Singer, the first feature-length motion picture with actual speech, the duo finds they too must make a “talkie” if they want to continue working in Hollywood. Unfortunately, Lina has a shrill voice which doesn’t match her on-screen persona. Enter Kathy Selden. She’s a young singer with lots of talent, but no star power. The studio decides to dub her voice in for Lina’s in the film which becomes a massive success. Will that result in Lina continuing on in pictures, or will Kathy become the star she wants to be?

Featuring former members of The Blacktop Movement (Chicago funk) and Ultramatix (Minneapolis hip-hop/rock) the group boasts decades of experience playing music in bands, praise teams and solo/duo acts. Members Levi Hendricks (drums), Nate Sherwood (guitar, harmonica, vocals), Jason Kerr (guitar, vocals) and Dustin Remme (bass, vocals) all have backgrounds in music and theater going back to their teen years (don’t ask us our age!). No. Coast delivers an energetic stage show by just being themselves, while swapping instruments, dueling guitars and even peppering harmonica into songs. They have no fear in their song choices and come equipped to play music spanning from the 70’s up to modern rock. Guaranteed to have Uncle Dave’s toe tapping to Tom Petty, followed-up by you and your bestie singing along to Weezer at the top of your lungs. Ready? Let’s Rock!
