Arlo Guthrie - The Alice's Restaurant 50th Anniversary Tour
Thursday, March 28, 2019 at 8 p.m.
TICKETS: $39-$55
American folk legend Arlo Guthrie attained international attention at age 19 by recounting the true events of his arrest (for littering) on the album "Alice's Restaurant" in 1967. "Alice's Restaurant" achieved platinum status and was made into a movie in 1969, in which Arlo played himself. 1969 also brought Arlo to the rock festival of the ages, Woodstock, where he showcased his hit "Coming into Los Angeles." Arlo's most notable work is his definitive version of the song "The City of New Orleans" that was a hit on all major charts. After almost 60 years of shows, Arlo Guthrie remains a road warrior touring almost constantly. The legendary singer-songwriter will be joined by his daughter Sarah Lee Guthrie.

FRIENDS! The Musical Parody
Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at 7:30 pm
TICKETS: $25-$45
FRIENDS! The Musical Parody is the hilarious new musical that lovingly lampoons TV's "Friends" celebrating the wacky misadventures of your favorite group of 20-something pals as they navigate the pitfalls of work, life, and love in 1990s Manhattan. It's a seemingly typical day at New York's only coffee shop, Central Perk, until an unexpected runaway bride with beautiful hair enters the picture and kicks the whole gang out of second gear! This delightfully naughty confection plucks the best moments from the show's ten years and recreates the moments through an uncensored, fast-paced, music filled romp. You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll Unagi! This show is recommended for mature audiences.

Keb' Mo'
