Click to Play videoEncompassing 30 show-stopping numbers from the Fats Waller songbook, this musical review portrays the Harlem Renaissance in its heyday, complete with snazzy costumes that recreate the era of bowlers and spats, ermine and pearls. The dynamic five-member cast and a six-piece band turn the theater into a rollicking evening of song and dance. Due to the sometimes suggestive humor intrinsic to the Harlem nightclub atmosphere of the 1920s and '30s, this show may not be appropriate for young children.

Click to play video Written and performed by stage, film, and TV star Ed Metzger, this one-man show comes to Wartburg on what would be Einstein's 134th birthday. Metzger's engaging and humorous portrayal examines the human side of the scientist Time Magazine called the greatest person of the 20th century. The audience glimpses the man behind the genius-absent-minded professor, confused and troubled father, ardent pacifist, womanizer, philosopher, and humorist - with an opportunity for lively talk-back following the performance. Metzger has performed with Al Pacino and Marlon Brando and appeared with Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. His Einstein show is the only one endorsed by the Einstein family.
