At the Liberty Theater: EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert
As director Baz Luhrmann explains, Elvis Presley’s story has long been told through the voices of others—“anyone who pumped gas into Elvis’ car and looked him in the eye wrote a book about it”—but this time, it’s Elvis telling his own story. EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert premieres this Friday at the Liberty Theater, offering a powerful new cinematic experience where Elvis Presley himself takes center stage. Through restored footage and immersive live sound, audiences are drawn into more than just a performance—it's an emotional journey. As one reviewer noted, the film captures Elvis’s energy, joy, and vulnerability so vividly that it feels like you’re right there in the audience, cheering along and swept up in the excitement.

WAIT...Don't Flush That!
An URGENT REQUEST from the City of Dayton
So-called “flushable” wipes—along with baby wipes, paper towels, and tissues—are a leading cause of clogged pipes. Unlike toilet paper, they do not break down in water. Instead, they catch in drains, bind with grease, and form blockages that damage household plumbing and strain municipal sewer systems.
Rule of thumb:
- If it didn't come from your body
- Or isn't toilet paper
DON'T FLUSH IT!
For more information, please contact Dayton City Hall at 509-382-2361, ext 4
