SUMMARY:DLCA Performance: Olympus – The Greek Rock Musical
DESCRIPTION:DLCA PERFORMANCE: OLYMPUS – THE GREEK ROCK MUSICAL is a laugh-out-loud rock musical where ancient myths meet modern mischief! The Greek gods\, tired of their immortal routines\, spark a competition to meddle with mortals and prove who’s the greatest Greek god of all time. When a group of modern-day cousins set off on a hike to “Olympus Overlook\,” they have no idea they’re about to be tested by ancient deities. With catchy songs\, heartfelt moments\, and plenty of laughs\, OLYMPUS is a mythic adventure about family\, connection\, and discovering that the real view from the top is the one you share together. \nThere are three performances for this show: Friday evening\, Saturday matinee\, and Saturday evening.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Henhouse Prowlers
DESCRIPTION:Henhouse Prowlers at The Brightside Wednesday\, May 7\, 2026 | Doors 7PM / Show 7:30PM All Ages | $20 General Admission | Reserved Tables Available Chicago’s Henhouse Prowlers have spent 20 years crisscrossing the globe\, including 34 countries on 5 continents\, and every mile of it shows up in their music. Rooted in bluegrass and classic country but impossible to pin down\, Ben Wright (banjo)\, Chris Dollar (guitar)\, Jon Goldfine (bass)\, and Jake Howard (mandolin) bring a four-part harmony and a world-worn perspective to everything they play. Their latest record\, Unravel\, produced by Stephen Mougin (Sam Bush Band)\, is their most expansive yet — road-worn storytelling\, flashes of modern Americana\, and picking as ferocious as ever. But the real magic happens live\, where their extensive songbook gets woven together with tales from the road\, and bluegrassy takes on international tunes that might just be in a language you’ve never heard before. As founding members of Bluegrass Ambassadors and partners of the U.S. State Department\, the Prowlers are more than a band — they’re proof that music builds the bridges words can’t. Come hear what 20 years of chasing something beautiful sounds like. HOW TO GO?  Thursday\, May 7th / Doors 7PM / Show 7:30PM  The Brightside — 905 E. 3rd St.\, Dayton\, OH  $20 General Admission (advance) | $25 Day of Show  All Ages | Reserved Tables Available \nhttps://eventvesta.com/events/142226/t/tickets

SUMMARY:At The Still Point
DESCRIPTION:In this profound program\, pianist Awadagin Pratt performs two concertos written especially for him\, both inspired by T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. The evening culminates in Mozart’s “Requiem\,” a choral masterpiece that traverses the depths of human existence. From the haunting “Introit” to the fiery “Dies Irae” and the ethereal “Lacrimosa\,” “Requiem” captures the dance of life and death\, the tension between stillness and motion\, and the journey from mortality to transcendence.
