Five by Design / Niswonger Performing Arts Center / 7:30 PM

The Stork Club, The Copa, The cocoanut Grove, Club Swing.  Formerly the hottest spots to see great entertainment.  Sadly, only the once magnificent Club Swing is left standing and now the wrecking ball is poised to strike her down.  Can Joe Sullivan, the club's mixologist, prevent this tragedy from occurring?  Club Swing celebrates the songs, events, and personalities that defined American popular culture during the Swing era.  Whether performing their seductive arrangement of Cole Porter's "Begin the Beguine," the mapcap parody of Spike Jones' "Cocktails for Two," or the lush romance of Nat King Cole's "Mona Lisa," Five by Design enchants audiences by deftly blending music and theatrics effortlessly.  So check your coat and grab a seat for a night of unparalleled delight at the fabulous Club Swing! "where the music's hot, the drinks are cool, and the legend lives forever." For more information visit www.npacvw.org or call the box office at 419-238-6722.

A Month of Sundays / Van Wert Civic Theatre / 8 PM                                                                    The play is set in a rest home and revolves around two residents: Cooper, who has voluntarily left his family to avoid the indignity of depending on them, and his friend, Aylott.  The friends rely on each other to ward off the effects of aging.  The action takes place in Cooper’s room on the first Sunday in April and the first Sunday in May – the days his daughter and son-in-law do their duty and visit!  To the painful ritual of Sunday family visits and empty condescension, the two inmates reply with humor and wit, aware that life can only be endured if treated as a comedy.  For more information or to reserve tickets call 419-238-9689

Pirates of Penzance / Niswonger Performing Arts Center / 7:30 PM

Join the band of swashbuckling buccaneers, bumbling British bobbies, frolicsome Victorian maidens, and the delightfully dotty "model of a modern Major-General" for a rollicking romp over the rocky coast of Cornwall.  This exuberant musical theater masterpiece is performed in its original format.  The rich sounds of full orchestra, chorus, and legitimate vocal soloists resonate with classic elegance and power while the company's vibrancy, energy and contemporary sense of humor keep the show alive and exciting to a modern audience.  The Pirate of Penzance - they'll steal your heart away.  For more information visit www.npacvw.org or call the box office at419-238-6722.
