The adventures of a comic-book sensation with wonderfully, and hilariously, unique powers will be presented as the final production in Davenport Junior Theatre's 2022-23 mainstage season, with Marvel Spotlight: Squirrel Girl Goes to College popping from the page to the stage in an April 22 through 30 run performed wholly by phenomenally gifted student actors.

This spring, the student talents of Augustana College's OperX ensemble will treat audiences to alternating performances of both a full one-act opera and excerpts from the operatic repertoire, with the gifted singers and director Patrick McNally staging composer Gian Carlo Menotti's Amahl & the Night Visitors on April 21 and 23, and works by Mozart, Gilbert & Sullivan, Bizet, Monteverdi, and more in the vocal revue Stolen Scenes on April 20 and 22.

With close to a billion streams of his seven albums making him one of the most listened-to comedians of all time, touring standup Chad Daniels will headline two performances at Davenport's Rhythm City Casino Resort Event Center on April 27, the famed funnyman one of only 13 comics to be featured on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, and his Footprints on the Moon the most-streamed comedy album of 2017.

Hosted by Davenport's River Action and named in honor of Henry W. Farnam, the chief builder of the Chicago & Rock Island Railroad, the Quad Cities' Farnam Dinners are annual tributes to historically significant citizens and events, and this year's celebration – taking place at Bally's Quad Cities on April 20 – will salute the 1856 Mississippi River Rail Bridge and the future of high-speed rail in the Midwest.
