On December 1, 1955, one brave and determined woman made a fateful decision that changed the course of human history. Rosa Parks’ decision to challenge the segregation of busses in Alabama sparked not only the Civil Rights Movement in America but other nonviolent protests throughout the USA and around the world! In an exciting presentation, you will discover the truth about Rosa Parks and the year that made Martin Luther King, Jr. a household name.
Civil Rights Scholar, activist and master storyteller Barry Bradford will bring the unexpected, unforgettable and ultimately uplifting events of that movement alive. Barry’s dramatic film clips, fascinating anecdotes and theatrical storytelling style will delight everyone!

The Black Box Theatre D-167 |
| Description: |
The Black Box Theatre at McHenry County College presents the Broadway smash hit musical "The Wedding Singer". In "The Wedding Singer", based on the Adam Sandler hit movie, it's 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey's favorite wedding singer. He's the life of the party, until his own fiancée leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own.
Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. Only trouble is Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a score that pays loving homage to the pop songs of the 1980's, The Wedding Singer takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, rock and roll was king and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room.
With book by Chad Beguelin and Tim Herlihy and music by Matthew Sklar and lyrics by Chad Beguelin, "The Wedding Singer" is directed by Jay Geller,with musical direction by Paige Lush, and choreography by Maggie McCord.
The cast includes Matt Lucchetti, Scott Kallaus, Maura Dooley, Marianne Ling, Mellissa Masbaum, Shauna Eng, Ryan Tipton, Jessica Buehler, Shannon Ansprooth, Tim James, Jake Mathews, Seleta Varga, Sarah Kusz, Joel Bennett, Greg Waldyn, Joshua McKenney, Jessie Oshinski, Dave Lysen, Kara Williams, and Kelsey Rosenorn.
The Wedding Singer opens on Thursday, March 8th and runs March 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 22nd, 23rd, & 24th with all performances beginning at 7:30 P.M. There is also a Sunday, March 18th matinee which begins at 2:00 P.M. |

MCC's Conference Center, Student Life and Multicultural Programs are proud to welcome back Barry Bradford, national award-winning storyteller, historian and teacher.
April 18, 2012 marks the 70th anniversary of one of the most dramatic moments of World War II: The Doolittle Raids over Japan. We will commemorate that date with a fascinating and dramatic presentation on the courageous decision to make a bold, dangerous and unprecedented attack on mainland Japan in answer to the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor. Col. Jimmy Doolittle and his valiant Raiders defied weather, conventional thinking and limited equipment to launch an attack that revitalized American pride and had the unexpected effect of changing the tide of the Pacific War!
Barry will use first person accounts, extraordinary photos and rare color movie footage to remind us of the courage and sacrifice of the amazing men who flew into history on April 18, 1942.

12:30-2pm or 7-8:30pm
