Get ready to sing, play, and move with your little one in this high-energy music class designed to be just right for very young children. We will focus on your child's beginning movement, helping to build the muscles your young toddler needs to walk, run, and climb; and on vocal development, helping to nurture your child's speaking and singing voice. With a mix of both parent-child joint activities and child-focused activities, you’ll be able to join right in on all the singing and dancing while also getting the chance to observe how your young toddler learns on his or her own.

One of 21st century America’s hardest working music ensembles, Greensky Bluegrass, visits The State Theatre on Tuesday, Jan. 27 at 8 p.m. Darlings of the summer festival circuit, this progressive bluegrass quintet is sure to bring both musical wizardry and a party atmosphere to our stage.

Founded in Kalamazoo, MI, Greensky Bluegrass began their journey 11 years ago. Since then, they have released four studio albums, Five Interstates, If Sorrows Swim, Live: All Access, Volume 1, and their latest, Handguns. They have played about 175 shows each year and they show no sign of stopping.

Members include Anders Beck on dobro, Michael Arlen Bont on banjo, Dave Bruzza on guitar, Mike Devol on upright bass, and Paul Hoffman on mandolin. What makes Greensky different from pure traditional Bluegrass? As Hoffman puts it, “There’s this great duality to our band. We’re existing in a few different places at once: we’re a bluegrass band and a rock band, we’re song-driven and interested in extended improvisation.”

Tickets will be priced at $18 (+$2 ticketing fee) in advance and $20 (+$3 ticketing fee) on the day of the show . Tickets are available from the Theatre's box office (814-272-0606) or website. More information can be found at: http://www.thestatetheatre.org/greensky-bluegrass .

Getting Cabin Fever? Get ready to bundle up and head outdoors to the Village Ice Rink and enjoy an activity for kids of all ages! Installation is planned for late-December 2015 if the weather cooperates. Upon opening, the on-ground ice rink (45’x 80’) is dependent upon the continued sub-freezing temperatures and the commitment of community volunteers to maintain the ice. This activity is FREE and fun for kids of all ages!

Diavolo reinvents dance, reimagines theatre, and redefines thrills. Diavolo uses abstract and recognizable structures as focal points in which performers come together to confront, challenge, and manipulate their environments. The Los Angeles company combines everyday movements, ballet, contemporary dance, acrobatics, gymnastics, martial arts, and hip-hop to illuminate fear, danger, survival, chaos, order, deconstruction, reconstruction, destiny, faith, and love.

The company returns to perform an evolved version of Transit Space, which was co-commissioned by the Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State. The program also features Fluid Infinities, a 2013 production set on an abstract dome structure and accompanied by Philip Glass’ Symphony No. 3.
