Folk Music and Melodrama

This weekend is one of the biggest folk music events in our area, the Tumbleweed Music Festival at Howard Amon Park. It's three days of free music performances and jams, a ticketed concert on Saturday night, food and craft vendors, and some big names in folk music circles. It'll be folk music heaven! A ton of family-friendly fun that you should try out - come park at my house and walk down to the park!

Also opening this weekend is Richland Players' melodrama "Bertha, the Beautiful Typewriter Girl." It will be the RP directorial debut of Alli Talmage, whom you will know as a Rude Mechanicals company member. They open this Friday, but don't worry if you are busy! The Richland Players always do three weekends of shows, which gives you a lot of opportunities to catch the current production. Sunday and Monday, they will have auditions for their next show, "Inherit the Wind," and they want everyone to come audition. It's going to be a great year at Richland Players, so consider getting season tickets and I'll see you there!
