- MAGICAL REALISM featuring work by Gail Marcus-Orlen, Robert Cocke, Penny McElroy, and Janet Prip. The exhibit runs through March 14. Magical realism is a genre in visual arts, literature and music that bring together mythology and the concurrence of everyday events. Andres comments, "Exhibiting Marcus-Orlen's paintings with fellow painter, Cocke, from Oracle, Arizona; California mixed media artist, McElroy; and Rhode Island sculptor, Prip, rounds out a long-time desire to curate an exhibition based on the concept of magical realism."
PCC dancers will entertain during the reception.
A retrospective catalog of Marcus-Orlen's paintings featured in the Magical Realism exhibit and Etherton's Gallery's Under the Violet Sky exhibit (April 22-June 14) is available for purchase.

- FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
based on Sholem Aleichem stories by special permission of Arnold Perl. Book by Joseph Stein, music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick. Brought to the stage by the creative team of Todd Poelstra, Mickey Nugent, Nancy Davis Booth and Dr. Mark Nelson.
It's time to introduce a new generation to this fun family musical. "It's as close to musical theatre perfection as it gets!" exclaims director Poelstra. Set in a small Jewish village in 1905 Russia, the story revolves around the hardworking, but poor dairyman Tevye, the father of five daughters. He's a big-hearted patriarch wishing to preserve his traditions and maintain his family while outside influences encroach upon their lives. The musical premiered on Broadway in 1964 and ran for almost 10 years. The initial production won nine Tony Awards. Musical numbers include the memorable favorites Tradition, Matchmaker, Matchmaker, If I Were a Rich Man, Sabbath Prayer, Miracle of Miracles, Do You Love Me?, and Sunrise, Sunset. Tickets $18 with discounts available.

Bach, including Gounod's own piano version of "Ave Maria;" and a "Bach Study" by the contemporary Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin.
