🎭 It’s the final weekend of One Slight Hitch at the Cider Mill Stage!

We’ve loved sharing this laugh-out-loud comedy with our audiences, and there are just a few chances left to join the Coleman family on Courtney’s wedding day as everything that can go wrong does!

We’re also lucky to be part of a community with so much outstanding local theatre. As we take the stage for our final weekend, we want to wish a very happy opening weekend to the cast and crew of KNOW Theatre and their production of The Glass Menagerie.

Support local artists, celebrate live theatre, and make it a theater-filled weekend!
