“So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends.

And Robin shall restore amends.”

Rochester College’s theatre department presents Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Modern, energetic, and abridged, Rochester College’s production of this Shakespearean comedy features a young couple realizing the hardships of true love. Confronted by many obstacles, forces beyond their control conspire to bring ruin to their fairytale ending. See how everything resolves itself in this innovative approach that incorporates original music while staying true to Shakespeare’s classic text.

Performances of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be Thursday, April 12 and Friday, April 13 at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, April 14 at 2 p.m. All productions take place in the Rochester College Theatre on the campus of Rochester College at 800 West Avon Road, Rochester Hills, Michigan. Tickets for Thursday’s special preview performance are $5, while the Friday and Saturday productions are $10 for students, seniors, RC alumni, and $12 for adults.

Rochester College’s Music Department will present a showcase featuring the Rochester College A Cappella Chorus and the Rochester College Concert Band on Tuesday, February 21, 2012.

The 50-member chorus will present a program spanning many years and nationalities. Lotti’s “Cruxifixus” represents early baroque Europe, while Moses Hogan’s arrangement of “I Can Tell the World” represents a 20th-century vision of 18th century African-American spirituals. Other works include music by Eric Whitacre, Randall Thompson, Pavel Tschesnokoff, and more.

The 70-member Rochester College Concert Band will present music including Overture for Band by Felix Mendelssohn and Australian Up-Country Tune by Percy Grainger. The Mendelssohn overture is unique in that it is an original piece of wind music written in the 1800s by one of the giants of classical music. The band includes RC undergraduates and faculty, students from other area colleges, advanced high school musicians, and adult community members. The group is directed by RC music instructor August J. Thoma, who is the retired director of bands at Rochester High School.

The Tuesday performance takes place at 7:30 p.m. at the Rochester College Theatre at 800 West Avon Road in Rochester Hills, Mich. Admission is free, though small donations are accepted. For tickets or more information, call (248) 218-2149 or e-mail music@rc.edu.

Adams and Rochester will be bringing their “A” games to Oakland University in the 42nd Annual Crosstown Showdown on Friday, January 13, 2012. On the line: Bragging rights for the best basketball team in the city.

The Girl’s Varsity teams will tip-off the hoops hysteria at 6:00 p.m. Veteran

Coach Fran Scislowicz (21st season) will lead Adams against third year Lady Falcons coach Adam Sheldon. Last year, Adams took back the title from Rochester with a 50-36 victory. Will it be back-to-back wins for the Highlanders or the Falcons snatch back the honor?

Then at 8:00 p.m., John Pleasant, in his third year at the helm of the Falcons, will guide Rochester against the Highlanders, coached by John Hall (13th season). The Falcons look to defend their 63-48 triumph from last year, as well as their 56-41 victory earlier this season in December.

Don’t forget to grab your gear! T-shirts commemorating the event will be available at both schools prior to the games for $15 and will allow wearers to gain admission to the contests. Those not wishing to buy a t-shirt for admission may purchase general admission tickets at the arena box office for $5, beginning at 5:00 p.m. on January 13.

Generous sponsorship for this community event are provided by Smith Jewelers, FAMS Printing & Embroidery, Qdoba Mexican Grill, Buffalo Wild Wings, Tri-County Sports, Custom Printing, and Rochester College.
