You know me; every show at the Niswonger is pretty much titanic.\u00a0 But in this case, the Van Wert High School Drama and Music departments are presenting the five-time Tony Award-winning Titanic — the Musical<\/em>.\u00a0 Three shows will be presented, starting Thursday night, April 7, and then again on April 8 and 9.\u00a0 All shows begin at 7 p.m.\u00a0 Tickets are available at the Niswonger box office.<\/p>\n

The Van Wert City Schools now have a teacher, Melissa Bloomfield, dedicated to teaching drama and music, fully utilizing the professional amenities of the Niswonger Performing Arts Center.\u00a0She has worked with our Niswonger staff to put together an impressive show for you to enjoy.\u00a0I hope you can catch these young actors, actresses and musicians in one of their performances.\u00a0I know that many months of preparation, scene building, and rehearsing have gone into this show.<\/p>\n

With the Central Insurance Stage being utilized by our local performers, we have a few weeks off until April 10 when The American Boychoir comes to perform.\u00a0 Remember, this is replacing the original concert scheduled on April 3 with Libera.\u00a0Keep your tickets and use them for The American Boychoir concert.\u00a0 It will be an exceptional afternoon of music and entertainment starting at 3 p.m.\u00a0The American Boychoir is world class!\u00a0You can get your tickets now at the box office or online at NPACVW.ORG<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The following weekend will be a busy one at the Niswonger as we start with the sold-out \u201cRiders in the Sky Salute to Roy Rogers\u201d on Friday, April 15, followed by Van Wert Blooms.\u00a0This is an all-day event on Saturday, April 16.\u00a0 We at the Niswonger are presenting this gardening event in cooperation with the Van Wert Master Gardeners.\u00a0 A slew of gardening experts from all over the U.S. will be talking about great outdoor ideas.\u00a0Included in this event is the famous P. Allen Smith that many of you watch on TV and have read his books on gardening.<\/p>\n

The event was scheduled for just 600 participants, but the response has been so overwhelming that we have opened up extra seating at a reduced cost for just the seminars.\u00a0 Check with our box office for details.\u00a0 We are all getting cabin fever and can\u2019t wait to get outside and start working in our yards and gardens.\u00a0 Come and find out how to make yours spectacular!<\/p>\n

Then on Sunday, April 17, The Texas Tenors come to the Niswonger for another sold-out show at 3 pm.\u00a0 This show has been anticipated for months by ticket buyers.\u00a0 It has been sold out since nearly September!\u00a0 It completes our 2015-16 Community Concert Series, and what a way to go out!<\/p>\n

We will also be announcing our new Community Concert Series for 2016-17. It features five outstanding and enjoyable concerts and shows;\u00a0one in particular that has been on my radar screen for many years!\u00a0I can\u2019t wait to announce it.<\/p>\n

Well, that about wraps up our activities for now.\u00a0Remember to submit your non-profit names to The Van Wert County Foundation Office by April 1 in order to be included in the selection of food servers for this year\u2019s Fountain Park Summer Music Series.\u00a0Watch the news for the announcement of this summer fun coming real soon.\u00a0There are lots of surprises coming this summer you won\u2019t want to miss!<\/p>\n
