Tommy Tune and the Manhattan Rhythm Kings
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm - Plaza del Sol Performance Hall (PH)
http://www.ArtsNorthridge.csun.com
The name "Tommy Tune" brings a kaleidoscope of images -- A long, lanky Ambrose Kemper high-stepping through the park in Hello, Dolly! An elegant and energetic gentleman in top hat and tails in My One and Only. The precisely synchronized tapping and trick lariat dancing in The Will Rogers Follies. These memories serve as artistic milestones in the 50-year career of performer/director/ choreographer and Theatre Hall of Fame member Tommy Tune. With nine Tony Awards, eight Drama Desk Awards, two Obie Awards, two Astaire Awards, the American Dance Award, the Drama League Award, the George Abbott Award for Lifetime Achievement (the list goes on...), Tune is the most honored star in Broadway history!

Associated American Artists: Art by Subscription
Friday, October 23 12:00 pm - Saturday, December 12 4:00 pm - Art Gallery (AG)
http://www.csun.edu/artgalleries/
' Associated American Artists: Art by Subscription' features over 70 etchings, wood engravings, aquatints and mezzotints by 40 artists including Thomas Hart Benton, John Stuart Curry, Doris Lee, Reginald Marsh and Grant Wood.
In 1933, America was gripped by an economic depression; it was one of the most trying times in American history. At that time, art dealer and marketer Reeves Lewenthal organized Associated American Artists (AAA), conceived to distribute affordable, original art to every American. During its 20 years, AAA had grown to international importance. The evidence of the cultural impact was everywhere; in the nation's homes, greeting cards and apparel.
The exhibition is organized by the Springfield Museum of Art, Springfield, Ohio, and tour management is provided by Smith and Kramer Fine Art Services.
Gallery hours are Mon-Sat 12 to 4 p.m. and on Thurs. from 12 to 8 p.m.
