Pay-What-You-Want Spooky Storytelling Performance in Peninsula July 30 - August 1
by Wandering Aesthetics 18 Jul '26

18 Jul '26

“Monster Farm” • Developed by Wandering Aesthetics “Three monster stories. Two storytellers. One farm at sundown.” – Wandering Aesthetics *EVENT DETAILS* *Dates and Times:* Thursday, July 30th @ Sundown (8:45 PM) Friday, July 31st @ Sundown (8:45 PM) Saturday, August 1st @ Sundown (8:45 PM) *Doors open at 8:00 PM *Venue: *The Spicy Lamb Farm Pavilion *Address: *6560 Akron Peninsula Rd., Peninsula, OH 44264 *Tickets:* Available at watheatre.com/tickets <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwatheatre.com%2Ftickets%3Ffbcli…> *Cost: *Pay-What-You-Want at the Door Registration encouraged *ABOUT MONSTER FARM* As daylight fades and shadows begin stretching across the sheep fields, join Wandering Aesthetics for Monster Farm, an intimate storytelling experience set beneath the evening sky at The Spicy Lamb Farm. Featuring storytellers Kyle Jozsa and Benjamin Rexroad, Monster Farm is a two-person performance weaving together three terrifyingly entertaining (and occasionally hilarious) tales of monsters. Through vivid storytelling, playful banter, and the chemistry developed through years of creating (and living) together, the duo invites audiences into a world where creatures lurk at the edges of the woods, strange things stir in the dark, and laughter often arrives right alongside the chills. Part ghost story gathering, part campfire tale, and part theatrical event, Monster Farm embraces the timeless tradition of people coming together to share stories after the sun goes down. *AUDIENCE EXPERIENCE* Audience members are encouraged to arrive around 8:00 PM to enjoy the farm before the performance begins. Spend some time visiting with the animals, enjoying a drink, exploring the grounds, and chatting with the performers before the sun slips below the horizon and storytelling begins around 8:45 PM. Please note that The Spicy Lamb Farm is a working farm, so expect all of the wonderful realities that come with that experience — animals, nature, uneven terrain, and the occasional surprise. Audience members are encouraged to bring blankets for comfort, and bug spray if desired. A porta-potty will be available on-site. Expect an evening filled with mystery, humor, imagination, and a few monsters you may find yourself thinking about long after you leave. *TICKET INFORMATION* Tickets for Monster Farm are available as Pay-What-You-Want at the door. Audience members are encouraged to reserve seats in advance at watheatre.com/tickets <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwatheatre.com%2Ftickets%3Ffbcli…> or by calling (330) 612-3090. *ABOUT WANDERING AESTHETICS* Born in the Appalachian Mountains, Wandering Aesthetics is a storytelling-centered theatre company dedicated to exploring and redefining the American identity. Through devised performances, immersive experiences, and community storytelling events, Wandering Aesthetics creates work that builds bridges, not walls. *FOLLOW US* Website: watheatre.com <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwatheatre.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwZ…> Facebook: facebook.com/watheatre <https://www.facebook.com/WATheatre?__cft__[0]=AZYck5F5OpeNZ38y9QsXtEVUkeiKf…> Instagram: @watheatre For more information or to reserve seats, please email info(a)watheatre.com or call (330)612-3090.

Announcing REEL Pages: A new Podcast From Radio on the Lake Theatre
by Margaret Reardon 18 Jul '26

18 Jul '26

Reel Pages is the brainchild of ROTLT's Managing and Artistic Director Caroline Breder-Watts, and springs from her many years as a radio show host, content creator and podcast producer. "Ever since my childhood, I have been fascinated by the movies", Caroline explained. "Until recently, I was the producer of the Columbus Moving Picture Show podcast, where I interviewed a number of authors of books on film. With that project coming to an end, I wanted to continue my conversations with these writers. There are many books being written about actors, directors, producers, screenwriters, composers and others in the industry and I want to give them a place to talk about their work". The first episode spotlights director Alfred Hitchcock, and Caroline interviews the authors of two books that provide a fresh look at the legendary filmmaker - Tony Lee Moral (A Century of Hitchcock: The Man, The Myths, The Legacy) and Stephen C. Smith (Hitchcock and Herrmann: The Friendship and Film Scores That Changed Cinema). Reel Pages is available on Spotify <https://sjuvgy5ab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001fLa_VH_XX6YGPL9JLDTxMzvnBdi1uM02xM…> and SoundCloud <https://sjuvgy5ab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001fLa_VH_XX6YGPL9JLDTxMzvnBdi1uM02xM…>, and members of ROTLT's Stakeholders Club get early access to each month's episode.
