Jim Witter has performed The Piano Men with the hits of Billy Joel and Elton John for sold out crowds across the country, as well as previously here in the Schwan Concert Hall. The Piano Men II starts off where The Piano Men ended. On Friday, April 12, 2013, at 8 p.m., join Jim Witter on grand piano and lead vocals, along with his incredible band, on a journey through the 70’s...and into the 80’s. With the incredible timeless hits of Billy Joel and Elton John as the soundtrack, we are taken back visually as news headlines, people, fashion, cars, TV and movies, and pop culture memorabilia are displayed on a giant rear screen. For the duration of the show, we are transported back to another time...another place. Whether he’s performing in The Piano Men or performing a concert of his original material, Jim makes his audience feel as though they are listening to a private show in the comfort of their own home. Jim connects with every member of his audience immediately with his charm and witty rapport. Don’t forget about the Pre-Show Dinner Option at 6:30 p.m. The Wisconsin Lutheran College Theatre Department will present a mainstage production in the Raabe Theatre on Friday, April 19 through Saturday, April 27, 2013. The production, Bee-lutherhatchee, is the story of Shelita Burns, an African-American editor of books from “rediscovered voices” of the African-American experience. She publishes “Bee-luther-hatchee,” the autobiography of a reclusive 72-year old Southern black woman named Libby Price. Shelita has never met Libby, and when the book wins a prestigious award she decides to deliver the prize to her in person. What follows is a journey of surprises, confrontations, and illuminations that challenge both Shelita and the audience with issues of race, authorship, success and the power of storytelling.
