And Entertainment Weekly says, "Grade A: the funniest musical of all time." Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show calls it "Genius. Brilliant. Phenomenal." It's The Book of Mormon, the nine-time Tony Award®-winning Best Musical.
This outrageous musical comedy follows the misadventures of a mismatched pair of missionaries, sent halfway across the world to spread the Good Word. Now with standing room only productions in London, on Broadway, and across North America, The Book of Mormon has truly become an international sensation.

Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Steve Miller was a mainstay of the San Francisco music scene that upended American culture in the late '60s. With albums like Children of the Future, Sailor, and Brave New World, Miller perfected a psychedelic blues sound that drew on the deepest sources of American roots music and simultaneously articulated a compelling vision of what music and society could be in the years to come.
In the '70s, Miller crafted a brand of rock 'n' roll music that was polished, exciting, and irresistible. Hit followed hit in an endless flow: "The Joker," "Livin' in the USA," "Take the Money and Run," "Rock'n Me," "Fly Like an Eagle," "Jet Airliner," "Jungle Love," and "Abracadabra" among them. To this day, these songs are instantly recognizable when they come on the radio-and are impossible not to sing along with.
"X"
The tendency to make things whole.
5,6,7,8,9,10. Completeness in mathematics, ten implies the end and the beginning of sequence; ten can be a sense of whole by wrapping itself in power and force, in achieving and creating. Found in nature on ten fingers and ten toes, in games of children and adults, in the divine. Ten embodies a complete experience of the development of the first cycle of nine.
DTG’s Performance Company newest full-length production, “X,” is a collaboration of contemporary works from resident and guest choreographers inspired by the number ten. Each choreographic work presented draws upon their own feeling of completeness, achievement and coming full circle. From a playful game to the biblical descension of the Holy Spirit, “X” will captivate the audience, leaving them with a rewarding, enriching and truly unique artistic experience.

Step into one of Claude Monet’s gardens and delight in the Impressionist period when music sought to convey moods or capture feelings. Mimicking the visual artists of the time, the structure of a work of art became subordinate to its effect. In the years containing the first movie theater and the invention of color photography, the world was brimming with opportunities to fill life with audio and visual encounters. Be impressed and join us!

Managing a Business
Growth: Every business talks about it, but are you ready for it? Do you have the systems in place to meet the demands? Do you know how to prepare for and then create opportunities for growth?
Tim Joiner of Greenville-based 3Fold can talk about what companies need to be doing when they are small in order to handle rapid growth in the future. From building systems to reinventing your job description to the psychology of growth, this presentation is full of thought-provoking ideas to stimulate personal, professional, and organizational growth.

To take the next steps and get out of their comfort zone, they must.
