Photos: The REV Theatre Company Presents Rodgers and Hammerstein's STATE FAIR

The REV Theatre Company opens the third production of its 2022 season - Rodgers & Hammerstein's State Fair. The show runs August 17th - September 6th at the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse in Auburn, NY.

Set against the colorful backdrop of an American heartland tradition, State Fair travels with the Frake family as they leave behind the routine of the farm for three days of adventure at the annual Iowa State Fair.

Featuring beloved songs from the R&H catalog and an Academy Award-winning score, plus spectacular choreography and an endearing coming-of-age story, State Fair is a nostalgic kind of warm-hearted family entertainment only Rodgers & Hammerstein could deliver!
