The International singing group Up With People performs in Montevideo Wednesday night starting at 7:30 at the Fine Arts Center. Tickets are 10 dollars for children and students, 13 dollars for adults, and are available at Kline Bank, the Coop Credit Union, MinnWest Bank, Gold Leaf Financial and at the door. Up with people has a cast of 90 from 20 different countries, and promotes global unity and cultural awareness through music and dancing. The cast is made up of young adults from the ages of 17 to 29 who travel around the world, performing shows and doing a little community service along the way. Up With People participants pay a fee to participate in the 5-and-a-half-month tour which takes them to multiple countries, during which all expenses are covered and they receive educational instruction and get college credit. The theme of Wednesday's show is "A Song For the World" and is about possiblity. They want the audience to realize everyone has some sort of talent they can use to help others. The group started their tour in January and most recently performed in Minneapolis. After Montevideo, they go to Naperville Illinois, then will spend a month touring the Phillipines. Then it's back to America where they will perform in California and Arizona before wrapping up their tour in June in Mexico.
