Peter and the Starcatcher
2017-04-05 19:30 - 21:30 | Western Illinois University, 1 University Circle , Macomb, IL, United States

Theatre: Peter and the Starcatcher
Time: 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Location: Hainline Theatre, Browne Hall
Description: Play by Rice Elice
Music by Wayne Barker
Directed by Alex S. Freeman
Tony-winning Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan). A wildly theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s best-selling novels, the play was conceived for the stage by directors, Roger Rees and Alex Timbers, and written by Rick Elice, with music by Wayne Barker. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair… and the bonds of friendship, duty and love.

Effective Communication Strategies
2017-03-30 17:30 - 19:00 | Macomb City Hall, 232 E. Jackson St.,, Macomb, 61455, United States
Communication is more than just talking and listening – it’s also about sending and receiving messages thorough attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect. Join us to explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s, learn to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia, and identify strategies to help you connect and communicate at each stage of the disease. Registration required: Call 217-228-1111

Time: 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Location: Simpkins Theatre, Simpkins Hall
Description: Conceived by Rebecca Feldman
Music and lyrics by William Finn
Book by Rachel Sheinkin
Additional material by Jay Reiss
Directed by Emily Olson
An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius.
