Little Theatre presents "The Last Capitol: What The House Saw" - April 6-8 
The house is presented as a grand, ghostly lady who tells what she has seen and heard through the decades in Danville and the world. Wonderful, nostalgic, songs from each decade will be sung, played or danced, as we take a trip through time. Some of Danville's most talented vocalists, musicians and dancers are at their best in this performance. Although it covers times of war, in addition to happier times, the general feeling fostered is an uplifting and happy one. Don't be surprised if you leave humming a tune from your past. This is one that patrons won't want to miss. There will be a cash bar will be available, with the proceeds supporting the Museum. Performance dates: April 6-7 at 7:30 p.m. & April 8 at 2:30 p.m. Admission $15.00 Museum Member Admission $12.00 (Tickets must be purchased at Museum.)
