Other highlights include the world premiere of Hitler's Tasters at Centenary Stage Company, opening April 6; Raymond the Amish Comic returns to Mountain Lake; Neil Young Tribute Band, Sugar Mountain, comes to Roy's Hall; and Gloria Tramontin will be signing her book at Tramontin Harley-Davidson on Sunday.

Coming Up
Join Rock Creek for their monthly plant nite with some awesome food, drinks and planting a terrarium. It will be a whole lot of fun!
Reserve your tickets now for this world premiere show! Inspired by the true story. Three times a day, every day, a group of young women have the opportunity to die for their country. They are Adolph Hitler's food tasters. As they wait to see if they will live through another meal -like all girls throughout time - they gossip and dream, they question and dance. They want to love, laugh, and above all, they want to survive. A special VIP Reception takes place before the Saturday, April 7 performance, limited to just 50 people. Consider purchasing a ticket for the reception when ordering your April 7 show ticket!
