Join us in July for one of Rogers and Hammerstein’s most cherished musicals,
Carousel. With classic songs such as “If I Loved You”, “June Is Bustin’ Out All Over” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, this story touches upon life, love, and family. Brilliant sets, costumes, and an unbeatable cast complement this celebrated Broadway score. Under the stars, come rain or shine, Carousel will be an experience you won’t soon forget.
