Traces
The Montreal-based group 7 Fingers (check out their very cool website) is bringing their hit show Traces to Dayton for a two-week run starting December 6th at the Victoria Theatre, and DaytonMostMetro.com is proud to be the media sponsor. This show is a sort-of cross between Cirque du Soleil, contemporary dance and street-performance art, and it has been getting some great national press. Set in a make-shift shelter with impending disaster awaiting outside, the seven characters tell their stories through music, song, dance, speech, illustration, and high-risk acrobatics. The New York Times calls it ““a fix of pure urban adrenaline..Mad, pulse-raising magic.”

Spring Awakening
Last season, the Victoria Theatre Association brought the the touring production of Spring Awakening. In January 2012, Dayton’s own Encore Theatre Company is presenting its own production of the same provocative show. This rock-musical is a coming-of-age story set in 19th century Germany – a “powerful celebration of youth and rebellion” that created a lot of buzz on Broadway, and is sure to be the next awesome show that ETC has come to be known for in Dayton. DaytonMostMetro.com is proud to be the media sponsor for this exciting upcoming show.
