Memories of Elvis
with Chris Olson
Friday, November 2, 2007, 7:30 pm
Elvis is in the building! This is the night before deer hunting opening, so it’s time for a night out! Chris Olson is an acknowledged master among Elvis impersonators: when you see Chris Olson's look - the hair, the eyes, the sneer, the stride, and then hear his voice, it's obvious that he was born to play Elvis. Audiences agree, Chris Olson's "Memories of the Elvis Show" is as close as you can get to the The King himself! Chris Olson has performed as Elvis throughout Minnesota and the United States, including Las Vegas, Nevada.
Ticket Prices: $16 (first six rows), $14 (middle section), $12 (back section)

performing Huck Finn
3:00 P.M. on April 28, 2007
Tickets: $14,12,10
THE CLASSIC TALE OF A YOUNG BOY IN SEARCH OF FREEDOM AND ADVENTURE Huck's a terrific liar. A cunning thief. A born rebel. And no one, but no one, can turn a raft and a river into an adventure with a capital "A" like Huck. Push off with him and his fugitive friend, Jim, a runaway slave, as they confront scoundrels, feuding families, moneymaking schemers, lumbering steamboats - and the daunting Mississippi itself. Along the way, Huck wrestles with plenty, including his conscience. But in the end, his compassion and decency make him a force to be reckoned with. This American classic with signature Mark Twain wit will be presented by the Children’s Theatre Company of Minneapolis.

Greg Brown
Is a nationally known folk singer.
7:30 P.M. on April 20, 2007 Tickets: $25,23,21
A FOLK ARTIST WHOSE SONGS SHOW HIM AS A SHARP OBSERVER OF THE HUMAN CONDITION. Greg Brown's mother played electric guitar, his grandfather played banjo, and his father was a Holy Roller preacher in the Hacklebarney section of Iowa, where the Gospel and music are a way of life. Brown's first professional singing job came at age 18 in New York City, running hootenannies (folksinger get togethers) at the legendary Gerdes Folk City. After a year, Brown moved west to Los Angeles and Las Vegas, where he was a ghostwriter for Buck Ram, founder of the Platters. Tired of the fast-paced life, Brown traveled with a band for a few years, and even quit playing for a while before he moved back to Iowa and began writing songs and playing in midwestern clubs and coffeehouses.
