TRAVERSE CITY, Mich – Soul Street Dance Company’s high-energy dance concert, Breakin’ Back to School, closes the City Opera House Performing Arts Series with a pop an’ a lock on Saturday, April 13 at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.! These incredibly talented, highly entertaining street dancers take on the most popular music of decades past and pair it with their diverse choreography. Music selections range from Vivaldi, to Debussy, to Count Basie, to Elvis Presley, to the Temptations, to Aerosmith, to Michael Jackson, and more. Soul Street Dance appeals to all ages, ethnicities, and cultures, bringing their youthful enthusiasm to audiences everywhere. And tickets are only $8!
“Soul Street Dance wowed audiences with mind boggling fast changing footsteps, front and back somersaults, cart wheels either one-armed or completely in the air, outrageous figures.” The Siegen Daily – Germany

 

The history of Soul Street Dance Company dates back to 1996, when they caught the attention of the artistic director for Fly Dance Company while competing for recognition in the Houston area. These self-trained street dancers became Fly’s principal dancers and helped turn the company into a national and international touring sensation. Under the direction of Javier Garcia and Rock Williams, Soul Street Dance Company presents a new era in dance. While pushing the artistic boundaries in street dance they maintain the true essence of the culture.

 

In conjunction with their concerts, Soul Street Dance Company offers educational and outreach performances that have taken 300,000+ audiences across the country by storm. The dancers – formerly considered at risk – inspire students and share how they found focus through dance and now are working professionals. Their performance is youthful with high-energy breakin’, poppin’ n’ lockin’, Brazilian capoeira and more – eclectic hip-hop moves and music for all ages!

 

With Breakin’ Back to School being the final show in the City Opera House Auto Owner’s Insurance Performing Arts Series, the 2012-2013 season is wrapping up with a family show that all ages can enjoy!

 

Celebrating 120 Years! The City Opera House Heritage Association is proud to partner with Michigan State University’s renowned Wharton Center for Performing Arts. City Opera House is a non-profit destination attraction for quality arts and cultural entertainment, educational programming, and public and private events in the heart of the region, downtown Traverse City.

Kathleen Madigan – GONE MADIGAN

February 14, 2013

All Seats: $33.00 Buy Tickets Now!

 

A Live At the Opera House Event

Madigan has never been hotter in her 22 year career. Stand-up comedian, Kathleen Madigan returns, bringing her Gone Madigan tour to City Opera House for a Valentine's Day performance. Madigan last performed to a sold-out City Opera House audience on June 7, 2008. This year Madigan will perform 100 theater gigs across the country, numerous TV appearances, and the DVD-CD of her Showtime special,Gone Madigan, is topping Amazon and iTunes charts. She is funny!

Madigan was a finalist in season 2 of NBC's "Last Comic Standing" and a judge on season 5. Madigan has also won the American Comedy Award for "Best Female Comedian" and the Phyllis Diller Award for "Best Female Comedian." She remains the only comedian in the history of "Last Comic Standing' to go unchallenged - meaning no other comedian has dared say they were funnier than her - showing she's not only the best female comedian right now, but one of the best stand-up comedians in the nation. During the 2010 USO Holiday Tour, Madigan shared the stage with Robin Williams, Lewis Black, Kix Brooks and Admiral Mike Mullen.

Madigan was born in St. Louis and while she currently lives in Los Angeles, it's her Midwestern sensibility that fuels her irreverent comedy which she has described as "Midwest logic with sarcasm mixed with resignation that it's all out of our control at the end of the day, so just have a drink."

When Madigan isn't busy she likes to make it back to her "farm," a gathering spot for her parents and six siblings, which would fit seamlessly in Northern Michigan with its wooded trails, her hunting cabin and four-wheelers. If she had her way, her "farm" would have a couple of goats as well. "I don't know why but goats just make me laugh."

"The funniest comedian in America, Bar None." -- Lewis Black  TICKETS @ www.cityoperahouse.org
