Red Mask Players present Romantic Fever; accordionist Maria Merkelo, cellist Barbara Hedlund

The Red Mask Players in Danville will present the Midwest premiere of Romantic Fever, a romantic satire by Sharon Tipsword, one of Red Mask's own. The show opens this weekend, and we'll hear a preview on the Wednesday edition of "Live and Local." And I'll be joined live in our studio by accordionist Maria Merkelo and cellist Barbara Hedlund, who perform in Urbana on Thursday.
