The School of Visual and Performing Arts at Ohio Northern University will celebrate the Swing Jazz era with two performances of Swing! on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 23 at 2 p.m. at the Freed Center for the Performing Arts. Underwritten by Liberty National Bank, the Broadway song-and-dance show has shattered ethnic and cultural barriers through styles such as Jive, Swing, Lindy Hop, West Coast Swing, and Hip-Hop Swing.

The show is directed and choreographed by guest artist Alison Solomon who comes to ONU straight from London where she was choreographing the workshop of a new West End/Broadway bound musical. She saw Swing! on Broadway when it opened in 1999 and "was mesmerized and inspired, to say the least."
