Summer Preview

You might think things slow down here in the summertime, but there are still lots of opportunities to get out and see live performances:
  • Academy of Children's Theatre wraps up their season with Storybook Players performances this weekend

  • During the first part of June, the CBC music program presents three spring concerts: Instrumental, Jazz and Choral/Orchestral

  • The Sacajawea Bluegrass Festival is June 11-13

  • Hie thee to Ye Merrie Greenwood Renaissance Faire June 26-27

  • The CBC Summer Showcase heats up in July and August with two radically different musicals: Rent plays July 16-31 and The Drowsy Chaperone will run August 13-22

  • Check out local artists at the Downtown Kennewick's First Thursday Art Walk and on the Parkway in Richland for the First Friday Art Walk

  • Your chances of catching the Mary Lou and Stevie Show will skyrocket if you stop for dinner at the Emerald of Siam any Wednesday, have a Friday night glass of wine at Barrel House Cafe, or shop the Richland Farmer's Market on a Friday morning

  • Watch for more information soon about Stevie's Volunteer Jam and RLOC's Gilbert & Sullivan showcase, both coming up in early August

No excuses! In the words of the great Mary Lou Gnoza, if you don't support live performance, it won't be there!
