“Ordinary Days” music by Adam Gown
June 4th, 5th, & 6th @ Lakeview Park – FREE show

Ordinary Days tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, love, and cabs. Through a score of vibrant and memorable songs, their experiences ring startlingly true to life. Ordinary Days is an original musical for anyone who’s ever struggled to appreciate the simple things in a complex place. With equal doses of humor and poignancy, it celebrates how 8.3 million individual stories combine in unexpected ways to make New York City such a unique and extraordinary home.

The two best friends celebrate and rejoice in the differences that make them unique and special. Part vaudeville, part make believe… all charm, A Year with Frog and Toad tells the story of a friendship that endures throughout the seasons.

“Nightfall with Edgar Allan Poe”

September 17th, 18th, & 19th @ Vermilion River Reservation Bacon Woods Amphitheatre

Edgar Allan Poe stands alone in the flickering darkness of his mind, trying desperately to convince himself-and us- that he’s not mad. The spell he weaves brings us a highly theatrical adaptation of four tales of Poe himself considered his best: “The Raven,” “The Fall of the House of Usher'” “The Pit and the Pendulum,” and “The Tell-Tale Heart.” Enter the world of Poe and Check your heartbeat at the door.
