Donna Reed Festival Alumnus returns to perform with Mormon Tabernacle Choir

Santino Fontana with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir

Perhaps three really is a magic number. 

Broadway and film actor, Santino Fontana, will perform with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at the American Choral Directors Society (ACDA) concert on February 28, 2015. He will become the first guest artist to perform with the Choir three times in the space of a year. 

Fontana made his debut with the Choir at the 2014 Pioneer Day concert last July and returned a mere five months later for the Christmas concert, which also featured the Sesame Street Muppets™. 

The ACDA concert will be held in the conference center in Salt Lake City. Additional Choir guest artists will be Sylvia McNair, U.S. Air Force Singing Sergeants and the combined ACDA National Conference Honor Choirs.

Fontana was a 2000 Donna Reed Festival national scholarship finalist in acting.

Award-winning Roosevelt impersonator premiers new show at the Donna Reed Theater

Adam Lindquist as Teddy Roosevelt

Last program in The Donna Reed Foundation's current American Icon Series

Adam Lindquist, a national award winning Theodore Roosevelt look-alike and entertainer, will premier his new show, Roosevelt! on the stage of The Donna Reed Theater in Denison on Friday, February 20.

Linquist plays the charismatic author, U.S. President, war hero, adventurer and conservationist.  His show brings to stage the spirit of the man most called “Teddy”, an American President who faced the same issues that concern people today: opportunity, conservation, judicious diplomacy and the role of government.

This humorous and meaningful one-man performance will leave you with an insight on the importance of leadership in developing the pride of a nation.

The performance will begin at 7 p.m. at the Donna Reed Theater, 1305 Broadway, in downtown Denison, Iowa, home of The Donna Reed Foundation and Museum.
