MOUNT CARROLL – Timber Lake Playhouse, the professional summer theatre of northwest Illinois will present An Evening with Neil Diamond and Elvis featuring Supreme Tribute Artist Steve Richards. Richards has performed all over the country including a concert at Wrigley Field to nearly 35,000 and performed a duet on the stage of the Wynn Las Vegas with Garth Brooks.

“Tribute bands at their best are fundamentally about looking and sounding like their famous counterparts,” said Richards. “They are about capturing the essence and spirit of the real article IN CONCERT.” Steve Richards electrifies the stage with “in concert” experiences of some of the most dynamic performers show business has known. He has been performing for over 20 years and has brought audiences the kind of electricity and excitement that have made Mr. Diamond and Elvis the original American Idols.

Never disappointing, Steve has perfected the art of bringing true Showmanship to audiences around the country. Richards brings his Tribute Show to the TLP stage for one night only, May 20. The performance begins at 7:00 pm with a cash bar opening at 6:30. Come and experience Steve Richards and his commitment to bring the audiences an evening they will not forget

The Magic Owl Children’s Theatre will present Charlotte’s Web from Tuesday, May 9 through Friday May 12 at 10:00 and 1:00. The Children’s Literature Association named this “the best American children’s book of the past two hundred years,” and the stage play captures the joy and touching story of friendship in a thrilling presentation that will enchant audiences.
