Inspired by the original 1936 film of the same name, this raucous musical comedy takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the hysteria caused when clean-cut kids fall prey to marijuana, leading them on a downward spiral filled with sex, violence, and evil jazz music. This dynamic show packed full of show-stopping numbers and outrageous comedy will go straight to your head!

Does anyone know of any foreign language classes available for children? My son is 3 and we would like to start him in French. Looking for a school or class or tutor (or French Grandmother?) to help him start learning. They learn so fast at this age and I’d rather not wait 10 years since it will be harder. We’re in Superior, but will drive to Duluth or surrounding area. Thanks!

ESPN, the NFL Network and Boston Herald are reporting that Randy Moss has been traded by the New England Patriots to the Minnesota Vikings for a third-round pick.
Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson, Jared Allen, Pat Williams, Kevin Williams … and now Moss? That’s way too many superstars on one team, isn’t it?
At the very least, it’ll be interesting … if true.
