June 2-26, 2011. Sunset Playhouse, 800 Elm Grove Rd., Elm Grove, WI 53122. When the Turpin family patriarch conks out suddenly, it ends up being a drop-dead funny problem. His widow wants his final epitaph to read "Mean and Surly" while the rest of the clan deals with their loss in frantically silly ways. His eccentric family tries hard to get him to his resting place, but putting him in the ground ends up being a real challenged for this colorful group of Southern misfits. Tickets and Information: 262-782-4430 or www.sunsetplayhouse.com.
Twenty local and regional artists were selected to create woodcut blocks that will be printed with a steamroller on the street in front of Redline. The print shop and papermaking studio at RedLine are the creative hubs where community members are invited to learn and experiment in classes, workshops and events like this that bring the community together in positive ways and empower everyone to explore their creativity. Danceworks musicians and dancers will perform original works throughout the day. Prints will be auctioned off in the evening, with proceeds supporting outreach and education programs at both non-profits. Tickets are $15. Purchase tickets at the door or online at www.danceworksmke.org.
