Culture Crawl 870 “Geeky, Nerdy, and Awesome”

Tim Hankewich and Dennis Green have been working on a special program for Orchestra Iowa since last summer. Tim programming the music and Dennis writing an original script to accompany “Symphonic Sci-Fi” this Saturday.

Musically, the show will feature your favorites from the biggest franchises like Star Wars and Star Trek, but Tim has also scoured the film vaults for pieces from shows you know but maybe don’t know just how good the music is. Plus, special guests and Easter Eggs, including a certain blue Police Box, and a real Klingon speaker (but we promise, no Klingon opera). All sure to please fans of all ages and level of nerdery.

One show only! Saturday, Oct. 28 at the Paramount Theatre. Come in costume! Tickets at www.artsiowa.com.
