"Princess & The Pea"
Sat. July 12th
11:00am & 2:00pm
ALL TICKETS: $7.00

Come and see local kids along with two professional actors bring an original musical version of "The Princess & The Pea" to life!  This is a perfect show for all ages - toddlers to seniors!  There's something for everyone!

As a Prince comes of age, his doting parents tell him it is time to marry a Princess. No Princess can be found locally, so the Prince must go on a quest. Finding no suitable Princesses, the Prince sadly returns home.

Then on a dark and stormy night, there is a knock at the door and soaked stranger enters the castle and introduces herself as a Princess! The Queen does not believe her and puts her through a test to prove she is a true Princess and worthy of the Prince. Silliness and song carries the story to a happy ending for all.

Friday, August 8th
King Wilkie
with opening band
Saturday Night Bluegrass Band
ALL Tickets: $18.00

King Wilkie

From the opening notes, King Wilkie’s Low Country Suite announces a new beginning for the band. Using the same tools that they used to make a splash on the bluegrass circuit—fiddles, banjos, dobros, string bass, acoustic guitars and mandolins—they forge a new sound: the tension and release created by every brush and scrape of the instruments and the close harmonies of the band’s two lead singers inform brutally honest, poetic songs of dread, exhilaration, the truth – and the consequences of denying it.

Even as they were named 2004's Emerging Artist of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association, the sound of King Wilkie was extending outward in directions that could no longer be comfortably contained under the bluegrass banner. The band spent the next two years touring non-stop, building a die-hard following and honing an idiosyncratic new sound. The result is the evocative, harrowing Low Country Suite - a dramatic push into uncharted sonic terrain. Produced by Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Dixie Chicks, Wilco), Low Country Suite draws on the pioneering spirit of Sweetheart of the Rodeo-era Byrds, Gram Parsons' solo LPs, and "Country Honk" Stones, while the album's gentler songs are equally informed by the stark, confessional folk of Nico, Nick Drake, and Leonard Cohen. Haunting yet strangely uplifting, Low Country Suite is the captivating sound of a band willing to leave precedent behind to create intoxicating new music from the jagged remains of yesterday.

    

Saturday Night Bluegrass Band

Members of The Saturday Night Bluegrass Band have been playing together for 30 years now. Brian Hollander and Tim Kapeluck began in the late 1970s and were joined by banjo legend Bill Keith shortly afterward. For five years in the late 1990s and early 2000s all five members would play weekly in a living room. Over three years ago, they created the Bluegrass Clubhouse at the Colony Café on Thursday nights. Now they will charge the Woodstock Playhouse with the clubhouse energy and drive as they team with King Wilkie for this special show.

Pictured here are: (the legendary) Bill Keith, Geoff Harden, Brian Hollander. Tim Kapeluck, & Fooch Fischetti

ALL TICKETS: $7.00

Come and see 50 local kids along with two professional actors bring an original musical version of
"Robin Hood"
to life!  This is a perfect show for all ages - toddlers to seniors!  There's something for everyone!
 

The time is simply long ago and the place is the magical, mythical Sherwood Forest. Our hero, Robin Hood, and his Merry Band of colorful characters seek the help of the Foresters, manage to waylay the Aristocrats and set out to rescue Maid Marion and Marion’s Maid. Prince John tries to stay calm as his Sheriff, guards and horsemen botch Robin’s arrest thanks to the aromatic Skunks. Wacky humor and an original score add to this fresh new look at a legendary outlaw in a legendary time.
