Event Details

Giselle will be presented by the Central Illinois Ballet at the ICC Performing Arts Center (located at the 1 College Dr. in East Peoria) at 7 pm on Friday and at 2 pm on Saturday.  Tickets start at $30 for adults and $20 for children aged 12 and under and senior citizens aged 60+ and are available at https://www.ciballet.com
Experience the timeless romance and haunting beauty of Giselle, one of ballet’s most beloved classics. When the innocent village girl Giselle discovers that the man she loves has deceived her, heartbreak leads to tragedy. In the moonlit forest, she encounters the Wilis—spirits of betrayed young women who seek to draw unfaithful men into their eternal dance. Filled with exquisite choreography, sweeping emotion, and a deeply moving story of love, forgiveness, and redemption, Giselle remains a masterpiece of the classical ballet repertoire.

Event Details

Corn Stock for Kids will present Spamalot School Edition at the Corn Stock Theatre Center (located in upper Bradley Park) beginning at 7:30 pm.  Tickets are $17 for adults and $13 for kids 12 and under and go on sale on September 2 and will be available at the Corn Stock Theatre box office, by calling 309-676-2196 or online at www.CornStockTheatre.com

Monty Python's Spamalot, lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show girls, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people... Oh, and did we mention the bevy of beautiful showgirls? Bursting with unforgettable songs, absurd humor, and zany characters, this musical is a rollicking celebration of all things Monty Python. The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and its success continued with two West End runs and a recent Broadway revival. With its laugh-out-loud moments and unforgettable anthem “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” Monty Python's Spamalot is a gloriously entertaining journey that will leave audiences in stitches from start to finish.
