We have partnered with Food Obsession in a hands- on culinary adventure, a place where your child cooks side by side with other inspired junior chefs and Chef Daniel Vogel. Your adventure will take you on a "food" journey from understanding the importance of safety and sanitation in the kitchen, to basic knife skills, to learning about different ingredients and cuisines and finally, your own creations.

Ego. Pride. Madness. e order of the land has been upended. Uncertainty and fear are the new constants. 400 years ago, during a time of great political transition and upheaval, Shakespeare gave us a vehicle to pick up a mirror and examine the chaos and destruction that could be created by a tyrannical ruler. Macbeth, Shakespeare's blood-soaked and shortest tragedy, tells the story of a brave general who, consumed by ambition and fated promises, murders the King and seizes the throne for himself. Racked with guilt and fear, immediately he becomes a tyrannical ruler as he is forced to commit heinous crimes to protect himself from hostility and suspicion. Full of furious battles and murderous whisperings, this play is an action-packed story of a country at war, and the bone-chilling lengths one man will go to for the sake of his own pride. 1st Preview, June 15 at 8:00P 2nd Preview, June 16 at 8:00P - (Community Appreciation night, free admission) Opening Night, Saturday, June 17 at 8:00P THE FAIR MAID OF THE WEST By omas Heywood Directed and Adapted by Kevin eis July 27 - September 2 ursday-Saturday at 8:00P • Sunday at 7:00P PLUS Wednesday, August 30 at 8:00P Before the Princess Bride...
