If you are looking for a foot stompin' good time, then head to Campanile for an evening of Monroe Crossing.

Named in honor of Bill Monroe, “The Father of Bluegrass Music,” Monroe Crossing dazzles audiences with an electrifying blend of classic bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, and heartfelt originals. Their airtight harmonies, razor sharp arrangements, and on-stage rapport make them audience favorites across the United States and Canada.

Based in Minnesota, the group plays an average of 125 shows a year at major venues and festivals, frequently for non-bluegrass audiences — and people often comment that they’d never really liked bluegrass music until they attended a Monroe Crossing concert!

Monroe Crossing is made up of five very distinct personalities with differing musical backgrounds and tastes, combining for a very unique ensemble sound.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for Students.

The Story of Unsinkable Women

Based on actual diaries, letters and interviews, Unsinkable Women brings to life eight famous figures including Madeline Astor, the beautiful teenage bride of John Jacob Astor, one of the wealthiest men in America. And, of course, there's Margaret Tobin Brown - the "Unsinkable Molly" herself - whose account of the ship's final moments brings the evening to its dramatic climax. Less-known characters are also depicted, like stewardess Violet Jessop who tells of the friendships and loves of the serving crew below decks, and Nora, an English music hall performer on her way to New York to appear in American vaudeville. The stories of these women are created and performed by New York actress Deborah Jean Templin.

Unsinkable Women offers a variety of contrasting moods and impressions. But, it's also punctuated with period songs ranging from vaudeville numbers to Victor Herbert's "Toyland." The Edwardian era costumes used in the show are housed onstage in an old-fashioned wardrobe trunk. Ms. Templin changes garb and shifts from character to character in full view of the audience.

Deborah Jean Templin wrote the piece during a 21-month stint playing major roles on the National Tour of the Broadway musical Titanic. It was during this period she first became fascinated by the real life women who speak out in her play. Her research into their lives inspired the writing of this new account of the legendary liner and its aftermath. Acclaimed nationally as a remarkable tour-de-force, Unsinkable Women has already been called "the most affecting and truthful version of the Titanic story to date."
