Garde Arts Center Marks Centennial with JIM HENSON'S FRAGGLE ROCK: BACK TO THE ROCK LIVE
New London theater pairs nostalgia with new audiences through live performance and historical recreation.
The Garde Arts Center will welcome Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock LIVE to its historic stage on October 11, bringing Gobo, Red, Mokey, Wembley, and Boober to New London for a family matinee that pairs nostalgia for longtime fans with a first introduction for a new generation.
The performance headlines a fall lineup that also marks a milestone moment for the Garde: on October 3, the theater will present A Night to Remember: 1926 Opening Night Reenactment, recreating the glamour of its original opening night as part of its ongoing Centennial Season.
Rounding out the schedule are country legend Randy Travis on October 1, Pink Floyd tribute band The Machine on October 9, comedians Mike Hanley and Harris Stanton in the Oasis Room, illusionist Leon Etienne, singer-songwriter Felicia Rose, and the Manhattan Short Film Festival — a season that carries the Garde from its storied past into its next hundred years.
