There's a great story in today's Herald-Dispatch about this week's offering from the Marshall Artists Series - STOMP!

But it's not available online - you'll have to pick up a copy of Sunday's paper to read it.

But you will find online a story about some shows coming soon to the Paramount Arts Center:
The classic board game Clue will take on a new life in Clue the Musical for a night of dinner theatre at the Paramount.

The murder mystery features a cast of characters brought together for a dinner party at the mansion of their millionaire host. When the host turns up dead, the guests become suspects.

This is the Paramount's first musical dinner theatre. Tickets are $23 per person. Shows are at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 21, and Saturday, Jan. 22. A few seats are still available.

Another upcoming special event is a "Shakepearience." During the Friday, Feb. 11, performance of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream guests will be allowed to turn their cell phones on. Guests will get tweeted fun, informative facts and trivia about the show.

This production of one of Shakespeare's most revered comedies will feature a fresh technology twist on both the setting (glow in the dark woods) and the audience interaction (tweets). Guests are encouraged to sign up for a free Twitter account prior to the performance. For information on how to sign up, become a follower of Paramount Joe and get push notifications to your cell phone, e-mail Jenny@paramountartscenter.com.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for children.
