Pennsylvania rockers, Chestnut Grove have announced their “Ta Ta… for Now,” string of tour dates including a headlining show at Ardmore Music Hall on November 24th alongside the release of their upcoming newest LP in early 2024, Can’t Stand the Music, before they go on a planned hiatus.

The members of Chestnut Grove have been together since high school and are nearing their thirtieth birthdays – the sonic themes on The Album reflect this period of growth with lyrics that discuss how difficult it is to cope with getting older, the pain of losing friends and the sting of romantic breakups.

The multiple Award-winning, On the Twentieth Century, the Cy Coleman-Betty Comden-Adolph Green musical will be performed in a staged concert version, directed and choreographed by Hal Simons, co-presented by The Adobe Theater and ABQStages.

It should be no surprise that as a lover of theater, I firmly believe in the transitive power of the performing arts. Any production has the power to elicit some emotional response from the audience, but theater often does more. Studies have shown that participating in the performing arts helps students improve their performance in other academic areas. While the impact of the arts in schools is widely known, the use and impact of theater and the arts in prison systems is somewhat less talked about. Nevertheless, theater has been used by penile systems for centuries as a way to rehabilitate prisoners, and that unorthodox idea is at the core of Our Country's Good, now playing at UT-Austin. The infrequently produced Tony nominated play, written by Timberlake Wertenbaker, is a completely engrossing love letter to the virtues of theater and a thrilling depiction of a peculiar moment in Australian history.

The University of Texas at Austin Department of Theatre and Dance presents Our Country's Good, a story about the redemptive power of art, tonight, October 18-27 at the Oscar G. Brockett Theatre.
