Our 16th season is winding down and the cast came together for one final rehearsal before we start fresh in September. Elaine shared a song she wrote using what she learned in an A&K hosted songwriting class this spring… and the cast joined in! Never too old to create, learn, have fun, and share with friends!

One more chance to see and hear the cast in action this summer at the MN State Fair, August 29th, 9am, Dan Patch Stage!

Hope we see you there!
