State Theatre
Thursday, April 25 – Sunday, April 28
Sioux Falls State Theatre, Sioux Falls
Enjoy a date-night or family-fun night in the heart of downtown at the Sioux Falls State Theatre.
Featuring a slapstick comedy made by local filmmakers in Wisconsin, “Hundreds of Beavers” rated 95 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and it's like nothing you've seen before. Then our Late Night at the State series is featuring Brian DePalma's 1970s rock opera “Phantom of the Paradise.” If you're a fan of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, this is the movie for you. Both are singular events and a must see.

Annie
Tuesday, April 30 and Wednesday, May 1
Washington Pavilion, Sioux Falls
Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie has reminded generations of theatergoers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return in a new production – just as you remember it, and just when we need it most.
