This Halloween catch the final 8 p.m. performance of Lucky Plush Productions smash hit, “Punk Yankees” performance at the Dance Center of Columbia College and you’ll get a bit of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” a dash of Beyonce’s (or should we say Bob Fosse’s) “Single Ladies,” mixed in with a touch of Alvin Ailey, the Macarena, Swan Lake and much much more! Whether you’re a dance fan, theater fan, video fan…even improv fan this show is for you. It features Rhoad’s signature witty and creative choreography and direction, infectious sound design and  showcases the strong triple threat talents of all the LPP dancers. Running a tight 90-minutes on this “fall back” evening you can catch the show and still have plenty of time to fit in a whole lot of prime time Halloween partying.

Tickets are $28. For more info call 312-369-8330 or visit colum.edu or luckyplush.com.
