The dance department at Stivers School for the Arts has a milestone to celebrate: five seniors plan to major in dance at universities next year-the largest number of students in the department's history to do so. A special dance titled “Joy” will be held Friday and Saturday, 7 PM at Stivers.

David Wion remembers Liberace at the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center Saturday at 7:30 pm. The world loved Liberace. We were always surprised and always entertained but it was his truly exceptional musical prowess and style that made us keep coming back for more...because there was never enough...Liberace!

On Sunday at 3:00 p.m. in the Schuster Center, the Dayton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra is performing. They will showcase the talents and musical abilities of some of the area's best young musicians. This represents 31 different schools in the greater Dayton area and beyond.

And finally George Orwell’s satire about the downfalls of Stalinism, titled Animal Farm, is wrapping up this weekend at the Dayton Art Institute. Zoot are the puppeteers and they take on this immense and still timely political drama.
