Salina is ALL ABOUT entertainment!  The exciting new look of the Salina Community Theatre will certainly impress, as will the talent on stage performing "Lend Me a Tenor" (January weekends) and "Fences" coming up in February.

The historic Stiefel Theatre literally has something for everyone this season, from the Salina Symphony to country crooner Dwight Yoakam (1/26) to classic films like "The French Connection" (1/29) and "Catch Me If You Can (2/2), the story of Frank Abagnale (as played by Leonardo DiCaprio).  Abagnale will be the guest speaker at the Chamber's Annual Meeting and Banquet at the Bicentennial Center, February 9.
