Rock Of Ages
<p dir="ltr">Rock of Ages</p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">Aqua Net, Lycra, lace, and liquor flow freely at one of the Sunset Strips last legendary venues, a place where sex machine Stacee Jaxx takes the stage and scantily clad groupies line up to turn their fantasies into reality. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock ‘n’ roll fairy tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the fabled Strip into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the strip – and themselves – before it’s too late? Only the music of hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and more hold the answer.</p><p dir="ltr">Content Note: Strobe lighting, some loud noises, sexual references, adult language. </p><p dir="ltr">102 3rd Street SE Cedar Rapids, IA 52401</p><p dir="ltr">Box Office Hours:</p><p dir="ltr">Mon-Fri 12pm-5pm</p><p dir="ltr">319.366.8591</p><p dir="ltr">tickets@theatrecr.org</p><p><br></p><p dir="ltr">Ticket prices $25 - $61</p>7/16/232:30 p.m.Theatre Cedar RapidsCedar Rapids -

Eurydice
<p>According to ancient myth, Orpheus was the greatest musician ever born. When his wife died unexpectedly, he refused to give up on her.

With imagination, poetry and humor, <em>Eurydice</em> is about love and what to do with it.</p><p>For tickets, go to <a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.coe.edu/box-office" href="http://www.coe.edu/box-office">www.coe.edu/box-office</a> or call the Coe College Box Office at 319.399.8600. $15 General admission; $10 non-Coe students & seniors 55 and older.

The Wizard of Oz
<p>It’s The Wizard of Oz you know and love — except that the characters are live on stage and in full color. Oh, and everyone dances the whole time! Based on both the book and the classic 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz brings Frank Baum’s unforgettable story to life — while giving it a ballet twist. As Dorothy, Toto, and their three Ozian friends search for a brain, a heart, some nerve, and a path back to Kansas, they encounter munchkins, monkeys, and a witch. But while the Yellow Brick Road may be a familiar path, the clicking red shoes take a few unexpected steps here and there. Choreographer Erin Alarcón let her imagination run free in this original ballet. She blended roles for the company’s professional dancers with parts for 50-plus young guest dancers from the Dubuque area, led by the Academy of Ballet.</p>4/21/237:00 p.m.University of Dubuque Heritage CenterDubuque -
