Sweet Saturday Night 



Saturday, February 22, 8:00pm 

 James Simpson Theatre 



Irs Party Time! — with the hit production of the 

 Brooklyn Academy of Music's Dance Black 

 America Festival. You are invited to join in the fun 

 for the sweetest and hottest nights of them all. 

 Sweet Saturday Night erupts on the stage, ex- 

 plodes in the aisles and flows out into the streets 

 of Chicago in a celebration of 300 years of the 

 dances that grew up in the back roads, city streets, 

 and ballroom dance floors of Black America. 



From Traditional African Dances, the delicate 

 moves of the turn-of-the-century Cakewalk and 

 the elegance of exhibition ballroom dancing, to 

 the lascivious moves of Earl "Snakehips" Tucker, 



tap dancing, and the death-defying acrobatics of 

 the Lindy Hop — it's all here — the Black Bottom, 

 Juba, Twist, Hustle, Electric Boogie and more! 

 Witness also, excerpts from "Fat Tuesday," a high 

 ceremony of candles, sequins, deities, and drums, 

 and a New Orleans funeral marching band. Sweet 

 Saturday Night's company of 19 dancers and 

 musicians keeps you in a spin from start to finish. 



Tickets: $12:00 (Members: $10.00). Fees are 

 nonrefundable. Please use coupon to order 

 tickets. Seating is general admission. Theatre 

 doors open one hour prior to performance. Public 

 Programs information: (312)322-8854. 



Two hours of sheer joy and a show that would be sweet any night of the week!
