Grace the Pirate presented by Kit's Interactive Theatre
Date: Wednesday, July 24
Time: 3:00 p.m.
Location: H. Dutcher Community Room
Navigate the stars with Grace the Pirate in this rollicking interactive play where the audience is cast right into the show!

Bedecked in her Elizabethan vest, skirt, knickers, boots and hat, she is a true swashbuckler from the 17th century. Presented by Kit’s Interactive Theatre. No registration required.
Concert in Congress Park with Peter, Paul, & George
Date: Thursday, August 1
Time: 10:00 a.m.
Location: Congress Park (Rain/Heat Location: H. Dutcher Community Room)
Join Peter, Paul and George for a Concert in Congress Park! Peter, Paul and George present community dancing and an eclectic variety of music. Songs from different cultures are performed and participatory dancing (for all ages) is highly encouraged!
More about Peter, Paul, and George: This trio has worked together since 1994, and Peter and George have each been arts educators for over 30 years. Their repertoire consists primarily of contra, square and international folk dances accompanied by lively reels, jigs, polkas and waltzes. Their music and dances transform even the most adamant, grimacing youngsters declaring “I will never dance” into smiling dance-lovers asking: “When is the next dance?”
Rain/Heat Location: H. Dutcher Community Room
