Indie rocker, songwriter, playwright and children’s book author Ralph Covert presents his energetic children’s show, “Ralph’s World” at 10 am. and 3 pm. Saturday, Dec. 26, at the McAninch Arts Center at College of DuPage, 425 Fawell Blvd. in Glen Ellyn.
The Chicago-based musician is known for his McCartney-esque style and for catchy lyrics and tunes that get both children and their parents dancing. Introduced to the Midwest music scene with his group The Bad Examples, Covert has translated his rock sensibilities for the younger audience into a show that appeals to the whole family.
Tickets to Ralph’s World are $14 each.
For more information or to purchase tickets, call the Arts Center Box Office at (630) 942-4000.
About the MAC
Located 30 miles west of Chicago near I-88 and I-355, the McAninch Arts Center (atthemac.org) at College of DuPage is a state-of-the-art facility, housing three performance spaces, an art gallery and classrooms for the college’s academic programming. This unique facility has presented theater, music, dance and visual art to more than 1.5 million people since its opening in 1986 and last year welcomed more than 75,000 patrons from the greater Chicago area to more than 230 performances.
The center offers free parking and group discounts and is home to five resident companies, including Buffalo Theatre Ensemble, the New Philharmonic Orchestra, DuPage Opera Theatre, the Arts Center Jazz Ensemble and the New Classic Singers. The result is a collection of touring and resident and student groups that foster enlightened education and performance opportunities to encourage artistic expression, promote a lasting relationship between people and art, and enrich the cultural vitality of the community.
The MAC’s extensive community outreach program includes pre-performance lectures, classes with visiting artists and the SchoolStage program, which provides students with an interactive, educational arts experience. Those and other efforts to increase community access to arts earned the MAC the Illinois Arts Council’s Partners in Excellence designation, which recognizes 40 of the most significant cultural institutions in the state.
