Live entertainment returns to Schaumburg's Al Larson Prairie Center for the Arts on March 20 with a magical production from Catapult.

The shadow dance company that garnered international acclaim as a finalist on NBC's America's Got Talent continues to amaze audiences with incredible dancers who work behind a screen to create shadow silhouettes of shapes. With boundless imagination and nonstop action, Catapult is a kaleidoscope of storytelling that awes and astounds with transformations into a mountain, an elephant, a dragon, and even a helicopter.

The McCartney Years performs a period-true, technically stunning, live concert experience March 26.

Hailed by the original Beatles promoter as "the best on the scene," the show celebrates the extensive career of Paul McCartney with favorite hits including "Hey Jude," "Let It Be," "Band on the Run," "Live and Let Die," "Lady Madonna" and more, plus deep cuts that McCartney wrote during the 1960s and 1970s performed to their original arrangements.

On April 2, leading contemporary jazz vocalist and two-time Grammy Award winner Diane Schuur delivers jazz standards and newer works in her trademark style - bold and expressive, while simultaneously romantic and mischievous.

Remarkable short films by students from all over the world are shown at the 15th annual Screen Test Student Fest April 8 and 9.

Information on these and other events at the Prairie Center is available by calling (847) 895-3600 or visiting prairiecenter.org.

The Prairie Center, 201 Schaumburg Court, Schaumburg, is owned and operated by the village of Schaumburg.
