The Egyptian Theatre, 135 N. Second St., will hold a show by comedian Ralphie May at 8 p.m. April 15. This adult-only show is a stop on May’s “Unruly” tour. May appeared as a semi-finalist on the first season of Last Comic Standing on NBC, and has been performing stand-up comedy professionally ever since. This event is a great show for anyone that enjoys stand-up comedy, especially students, said Alex Nerad, executive director of the Egyptian Theatre. “Comedian Ralphie May has been doing this for many years, and has had his own special on Netflix,” Nerad said. “We’re looking forward to bringing in a comedian to provide a fun night. It should be a show that appeals to NIU students.” Tickets for this event will be available on at 10 a.m. Friday at egyptiantheatre.org. Tickets start at $20 for students.

Choral Activities director, Eric Johnson leads the NIU Concert Choir in preparation for the Make Our Garden Grow benefit concert for the DeKalb Community Garden’s Walnut Grove farm on Monday.
Community choirs unite to raise awareness, funds
Samantha Keck Staff writer T @samanthakeck
annual community chorus concert, Make Our Garden Grow, to benefit the DeKalb Community Garden’s Walnut Grove Farm. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday in The Music Building’s Boutell Memorial Concert Hall and is free to the public. The goal of the event is to benefit the DeKalb County Community Garden’s Walnut Grove Farm, which provides a working environment for adults with special needs. All the food grown at the farm goes to local pantries. Choral Activities director Eric Johnson said this event is not only a time for talented singers to come together, but to bring attention to situations we may not pay attention in our daily lives. “We are raising awareness for what the DeKalb County Community Gardens does and also raising awareness for the issues regarding access to healthy foods.” Johnson said. This year, songs from “The Wizard of Oz,” “Wicked” and “The Wiz” will be performed during the concert. Trent Snyder, senior music business major, said he hopes the songs touch the audience’s hearts.
What: Make Our Garden Grow When: 7 p.m. Saturday Where: The Music Building, Boutell Memorial Concert Hall Cost: Free. Donations are encouraged and all proceeds will go towards the Walnut Grove Farm. “We are singing songs that really inspire hope and are very touching,” Snyder said. “One song is encouraging people about it being our time and another one is like a call out to everybody in the communities to help.” The performers are not only excited for the concert but also hopes the meaning behind the lyrics inspires the audience as well, Snyder said. Amelia Harlovic, junior vocal performance major, said she’s looking forward to performing pieces like “Make Them Hear You,” by Rodrick Dixon. “I really enjoy our pieces this year, they’re very powerful,” Harlovic said. Information will be available at the concert for students and community members who may be interested in volunteering at the DeKalb County Community Garden’s, Walnut Grove Farm.
