Dance Theatre of Harlem’s Return One of the most exciting and innovative results of the last fifty years of dance, the Dance Theatre of Harlem is back, and its debut appearance is happening right here in Louisville. On October 20th at the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts, Dance Theatre of Harlem will begin its 2012/2013 tour season after a seven-year lull. Due to financial difficulties following a redirection of philanthropic funds in the years after 9/11, the historic company was forced to go on temporary hiatus in order to financially regroup. Subsequent restructuring—which included the introduction of Virginia Johnson, former Prima ballerina, as Artistic Director— allowed the company to pare down to a sleeker, more efficient model, and the show is about to hit the road. Dance Theatre of Harlem was founded in1969 by Arthur Mitchell, the first African American with the New York City Ballet, and Karel Shook, the first teacher and ballet master of the Dutch Ballet Company. It developed out of the period of turmoil and social change following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights movement, and strove to utilize the untapped artistic talents of the Harlem community. Since then, it has gone on to display the boundless spirit of creativity that surpasses physical differences in countries across the world, from Russia—where it was the first American ballet company to perform following the breakup of the USSR—to South Africa—where it broke America’s thirty-year cultural ban to the country—to China—where it played to sold-out houses, giving the first presentation of “Firebird” to ever be performed in that country. Throughout years of social progress, both in the U.S. and abroad, Dance Theatre of Harlem continues to challenge stereotypes and bridge the gaps created by extreme cultural and economic disparity worldwide. Dance Theatre of Harlem’s mission is three-fold: · To maintain a world-class school that trains young people in classical ballet and the allied arts, · To provide arts education, community outreach programs, and positive role models for all, · To present a ballet company of African-American and other racially diverse artists who perform the most demanding repertory at the highest level of quality. As the first black classical ballet company, Dance Theatre of Harlem is also the most renowned, and its revival is a cause for celebration. That Louisville is the first leg of its 2012/2013 tour is an honor. Its performance at the Kentucky Center will feature the world premieres of "Gloria" and "When Love." Tickets are available now, and may be purchased by phone at 502-584-7777 or 502-562-0730, in person at the box office, or drive-through window, or online at www.kentuckycenter.org.

Beauty and the Beast, October 23 - 28
Wiley and the Hairy Man, Oct. 20
The Kentucky Center (Bomhard Theater), 501 W Main St. Like Aesop’s fables, Wiley and the Hairy Man is drawn from native folk wisdom. “Outwit the Hairy Man three times and he won’t scare you ever again,” says Mammy. Trembling, Wiley sets out for the woods, prepared to confront the Hairy Man; he looks fear in the face and outwits it. The adventures are presented in lyric poetry and mime.

Over the course of one fateful summer day, renowned actor James Tyrone, his troubled wife Mary, and their two sons wrestle with resentment so deep—and a love so fierce—that it threatens to consume them. O’Neill’s play is both a poem of forgiveness to his own family, and one of
Fifth Third Bank’s Dracula
“I never drink…wine.” Though the titular character of Dracula may not partake of alcohol, his favorite libation will be present all over the stage in Actors Theatre’s presentation of Fifth Third Bank’s Dracula. Billed as a show that “drips with suspense and even more blood,” this Louisville tradition will be terrifying theatre-goers onstage up through the night before Halloween, when it will culminate in its final gorefest. Based on the original novel Dracula by Bram Stoker, Fifth Third’s Dracula tells the story of the sinister, irresistible Count and his insidious aggressions towards Mina Harker, Abraham Van Helsing, and an assorted cast of other overwhelmed characters who are almost helpless in the face of his eternal evil. While the heroes do, ultimately, win the day, Dracula himself is iconic for a reason—his ability to scare and delight audiences is as undying as his legend. Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston created the script, which was based on the original novel. William McNulty adapted and directed the production for Actors Theatre. Returning favorites will reprise their roles from previous years, such as Marc Bovino in his crowd-pleasing role of Renfield and Randolph Curtis Rand as the terrifying count seen on posters all over downtown Louisville. Dracula will be performed most days between September 14th and October 30th. Tickets for the show vary in price, depending on day of attendance. All tickets can be purchased at the Actors Theatre box office, at the Actors Theatre website, or by calling the box office at 502-5841205. Because this performance contains strobe lights, fog effects, gunshots, chilling screams, and buckets of blood, it is not recommended for the faint of heart or those under eleven.

In true Agatha Christie fashion, The Mousetrap delivers a puzzle of twists and turns that will keep you guessing right up until the dramatic end.

Flight of the Butterflies - IMAX
727 W Main St, 502-561-6100 www.kysciencecenter.org An awe-inspiring tale of extraordinary insect endurance and human perseverance. Flight of the Butterflies is actually two stories, intertwined. It’s about the astounding Monarch butterfly migration, the longest known insect migration on earth, and the determined scientist who spent 40 years trying to discover exactly where the butterflies mysteriously went when they flew south for winter. The outstanding fourth, or “Super Generation,” of butterflies travels more than 2,000 km south, all the way from the northern United States and southern Canada to Mexico, overwinters and makes one final short trip to the southern United States to lay eggs. Then, the cycle begins again. It is one incredible trip you won’t want to miss.

Easy Halloween Costumes Halloween is the same date every year, but despite its constancy, there are always those who wait until the last minute to come up with their annual costume. If you’re one of the unlucky ones who’s still wondering just what can be conjured up from around the house, there’s literally no end to the number of easy, homemade costumes that can be thrown together right before heading out to any kind of fun or spooky gathering. Consider going as one of the following clever ideas: · Jellyfish: hang crepe streamers from the underside of an umbrella. Dress in the same color and carry the umbrella over your head, so the “tentacles” hang over you. · Bunch of grapes: blow up a lot of purple, red, or green balloons and tape them to your body. This idea can work for a small family or group of friends, all of whom can go together as different types. · Deviled egg: throw on some white clothes, then cut a yellow circle out of yellow fabric and attach it to your stomach. Add some devil horns and a pitch fork, and voila! You're a "Deviled Egg." If you decide that even a simple homemade costume is too much work, however, there are numerous stores at which to purchase something a little more established. Buying a prepackaged outfit from a store can save time, too. Just because you decide to purchase a costume, however, doesn’t mean it has to cost a lot of money. Places like Caufield’s Novelty offer a variety of costumes, from cheap masks to brand-name studio pieces, and are always having sales around the holidays. Their online store offers possibilities such as: · Crayola crayon costumes (matching ones for couples, too), · Period and historical pieces, · Angry Birds full-body costumes, · Baby and toddler costumes for boys and girls, · Pop and media icon masks, from presidential candidates to movie stars, · And more! Almost everything in the store can be purchased at a discount online—and with the ease and low cost of purchasing a costume online, the scariest part of the ordeal might be showing up at a Halloween party in the same outfit as someone else! whigl.com | Your Guide to Louisville Since 1951 | October 17 - October 30, 2012
