Concert with Sam Miltich & The Clearwater Hot Club

Ukraine Fundraiser

Children are the least responsible for the war in Ukraine, but they suffer the most from its consequences. Your ticket purchase and/or donation will help ensure that Ukraine's children have access to safe water, nutrition, health care, education and protection. 100% of the net proceeds of this event will be channeled through UNICEF to help the children of Ukraine, and less than 3% of funds will go toward administrative costs.

Sam Miltich and his band, The Clearwater Hot Club, have generously offered their time and musical talents at no charge which will allow the Reif to provide even more support to UNICEF for their “Protect the Children of Ukraine” initiative. Sam stated that he "will put some Ukrainian songs in our repertoire as well as some originals, some other Eastern European songs, and good old happy hot club swing music." The night will feature select food/beverage options available for purchase, a silent auction starting at 5:00pm, pre-show lobby music, and starting at 7pm we will feature some amazing music in our Wilcox Theater that is both inspiring and reflective as we honor those most afflicted by this senseless war on Ukraine.

The Reif Dance spring production is a favorite tradition for families in our community. This year, as we celebrate over 30 years of Reif Dance, we are reviving an old favorite from the Reif Dance repertoire. The Twelve Dancing Princesses tells the story of twelve sisters who love to dance. Each night they dance through their shoes after the castle has gone to sleep. Their loving father is determined to discover where they disappear to each night. This enchanting tale is told through ballet, jazz, tap and modern dance, with exciting music and beautiful costumes.

Resurrection - A Journey Tribute, considered to be ‘The Gold Standard’ by which all Journey tributes are measured, faithfully recreates the experience of a 1980’s Journey concert.

Every show is a brilliant reproduction of sights and sounds that captivate and transport audiences to the glorious age of arena rock. Fans across the country, including Steve Perry and Journey purists, rave that Resurrection - A Journey Tribute is THE Journey experience!

Concert also features opener "The Northwoods Band" of Duluth, MN at 6pm.
