“What’s Going On: Songs From The Vietnam War Era” is a moving concert experience that incorporates live music, live narration and video to provide the audience a multi-media deep dive into the 60’s and early 70’s and of course, the Vietnam War. Through song and imagery this concert examines the tumultuous time period, but concludes on a note of hope and inspiration for a better tomorrow. As one Vietnam Veteran narrates during the show, “When we think of our divisions today, they pale in comparison to how badly we were divided back then”. A must-see Fabulous Armadillos production.

Mallrats
2023-10-06 19:30 - 22:00 | Pioneer Place on Fifth, 22 Fifth Avenue South, St. Cloud, MN, 56301
Remembering the 90’s show on MTV called “Unplugged” may be a bit difficult so that’s why we relive it right here. Let’s go.
Just like we remember when MTV played music and cut the cord. MTV Unplugged was a television series that showcased the biggest musical artists of the 90s. These musical performances were filmed and recorded in front of small audiences and as the title implies, the bands played acoustic instruments. The sparse stage set-ups, subdued lighting, and acoustic arrangements made for some of the most memorable live performances of the decade. A theater setting is ideal for this presentation. This show will showcase the best of those shows.
