Grammy
winner Dianne Reeves brings her powerful jazz vocals
to The Shedd this Monday. Reeves, who covers both well-known
classics and obscure treasures, has garnered endless praise
for her most recent album, A Little Moonlight,
which centers around "the moment you're ready to fall
in love." And there's no doubt the audience will
fall in love… with Reeves. See Monday Calendar.
The
world renowned neoclassic dance company Dance Theatre
of Harlem makes a rare appearance in Eugene this
week. See Dance column and Wednesday Calendar.
Local
dancers and choreographers Dance for a Reason
this week, when they perform in the 10th annual benefit
concert at Lane Community College Performance Hall.
The event showcases Lane Dance Company, DAC Nooners,
Eugene Youth Ballet, Wongai West African Dance, The
EDGE, Ashland's Robin Bryant and Dancers, and a long
list of other noteworthy dancers. Proceeds from Dance
for a Reason provide a financial boost to one of the
community's many non-profit groups; past recipients
include Community Family Soup Kitchen, WomenSpace, Centro
Latino Americano and White Bird Clinic. This year's
event will benefit The EDGE Scholarship Program. See
Friday Calendar.
Willamette
Repertory Theatre performs the classic American drama
A Moon for the Misbegotten, opening this
week at the Hult Center. The play, hailed by The
New York Times as "Heart-stopping… Eugene
O'Neill's great elegiac love story…," follows
1923 down-on-his-luck Broadway gambler Jim Tyrone, as
he returns to his Connecticut farm to face his shortcomings
and find redemption. See Friday Calendar.
