Treating audiences to a number of enthralling, one-person performances over the course of Labor Day Weekend, Moline's Black Box Theatre will host its inaugural Solo Fringe Fest from August 29 through 31, this celebration of music, drama, comedy, dance, and storytelling boasting stellar talents whose work has taken them throughout the Midwest, across the country, and overseas.

With the theatre's latest production, Mt. Carroll's Timber Lake Playhouse will be treating audiences to a world premiere, a family dilemma, and an umlaut with the venue's debut of Glü, a brand-new musical comedy running August 22 through 31, and presented as the first presentation in the venue's Andy Bro New Works Program.

Director Shelley Cooper, Augustana College's associate professor of theatre arts, and music director and accompanist Rob Elfline, professor of music at Augustana, have engineered another extraordinary production with Ordinary Days.

Let it be known: My family and I are exactly the intended audience for the Timber Lake Playhouse’s current production of Disney's Frozen. We love the material. We love theatre. So in the words of everyone’s favorite animated snowman Olaf, “Put ‘em together, it just makes sense.” The good news? If you’re also a fan, chances are you’ll feel the same way about this particular production.
