Details The Bucktown Revue is returning to the Tipton stage. The Quad-Cities-based music and variety show will return to Tipton at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15, at the Tipton High School auditorium. The event is sponsored by the Hardacre Theater Preservation Association (HTPA), and proceeds will benefit the "Save the Hardacre Theater" campaign. The show, appropriate for all ages, is styled like a live radio broadcast, like Garrison Keillor's legendary "A Prairie Home Companion" or the Grand Ole Opry. It features a variety of musical acts, comedy skits, monologues and even performances from local players. The Bucktown Revue is an old-fashioned radio-style variety program, performed live in front of an audience. It celebrates Mississippi River Valley folk music and culture through a combination of music, storytelling, poetry and humor. The show is performed monthly at the Nighswander Junior Theater in Davenport. Tickets for the Bucktown Revue's Tipton show can be purchased at the event. Tickets are $12 each for adults, $6.00 for students and $8.00 for seniors
