Much Ado About Nothing performed by EastLine Theatre

June 25 @ 6:30 pm

Bring a picnic and celebrate the start of summer with a hilarious performance of Shakespeare’s witty romantic comedy about finding love despite all odds.

After years of war, an idyllic Italian town is finally back in bloom. But young lovers Claudio and Hero, and sparring singletons Beatrice and Benedick, soon discover that all is not as it seems in their beautiful surroundings as they become entangled in a series of mischievous games, pranks, and plots.

This performance will take place outdoors on the Carriage Museum lawn. In the event of rain, it will be moved indoors to the Gillespie Room.

July 23 @ 5:30 pm

Pack a picnic and step back in time with an evening of unplugged outdoor fun with live music by the Happy Clam Band, plus games and historical crafts.

Felicity: An American Girl Adventure Screening

This film follows Felicity Merriman, a spirited colonial-era girl in Williamsburg, Virginia, who learns lessons about courage, friendship, and loyalty during the years leading up to the American Revolution. Based on the American Girl children’s books by Valerie Tripp. Rated G.
