The Austin Area Commission for the Arts is proud to present its 2014 Paramount Performance Series, which is brought to you by Eastwood Bank.

The series begins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 28, with Ragamala Dance presenting Sacred Earth. Ragamala combines traditional Indian dance, music and visuals for a stunning performance that will make you feel like you are in the far East.

March will bring two events. At 7:30 p.m. on Friday, March 21, James Sewell Ballet will present “Lover.” With the unforgettable songs of Rodgers and Hart, “Lover” marries the incomparable agility and grace of the Sewell dancers with the impressive musical and theatrical talents of well-known Twin Cities based actors and musicians Bradley Greenwald, Maria Jette and Dan Chouinard. Then at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 27 The Spencers’ Theatre of Illusion will be at the Paramount.

Their show is a unique fusion of magic and illusion, humor and mystery, and persona and personality. This show is supported in part by Arts Midwest and the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council.

In the fall, Tim Patrick and His Blue Eyes Band will be at the Paramount at 7:30 p.m on Saturday, Sept. 27 for “Sinatra Swings: A Tribute to Frank Sinatra.”
