Other upcoming events at the Liberty Center, 111 W, 5th Street, include the following:

*Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew on Saturday, Sept. 9 at 7:30 p.m.
LCAA Essential Theatre presents a staged reading of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.

The cast for this production will be gender-flipped and this production will be presented on our new outdoor stage, The Lot, so bring a lawn chair. Tickets are just $5 each.

*Artist Joe Dino, September 14 through October 31.

Joe Dino is a painter from Columbia, and deals mostly in abstract expressionism.  His work is based on instinct, an instinct he has developed by seeing art. He predominantly uses everyday materials such as canvas drop cloths, house paint, oil enamel, concrete, tar, clay, etc. These materials connect him to his past and Joe says they are all self-portraits.

Meet Joe and get the first glimpse of his art at his Opening Reception on Thursday, Sept. 14 from 5-7 p.m.

*Dr. Zhivegas on Saturday, Sept. 16 at 8 p.m.

For two decades, Dr. Zhivegas has reigned supreme as one of the most beloved and hardest working dance rock acts in the United States.

With a Vegas residency, a Superbowl pregame show and sold out theatre shows in St. Louis, Kansas City and Chicago on their resume, Dr. Zhivegas is coming to The Lot at Liberty Center with their legendary disco-rock style.

Now entering their third decade of performing over 200 shows a year, the Dr. Zhivegas legacy continues in Sedalia.

*Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, Sept. 28 through Oct. 1

Ten strangers find themselves being invited to a remote island off the British Coast for a weekend retreat. Unbeknownst to them, they have all been invited there by an absentee host.  After a lovely dinner, the guests are forced to listen to a recording accusing each and every single one of them of murder. And thus begins one of the great murder mysteries of all time, a tale of ten guests, who find themselves disappearing one by one in the middle of nowhere.
