Not just us, but lots of good stuff to see in the first three weeks of November, 2011.
Cry of the Mountain - Greenbelt, Md - October 2, 2012, 3pm
Cry of the Mountain, back from it’s wonderful month long performance in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is all cranked up to perform in Greenbelt, Maryland.
We are part of the closing celebration of their Artists in Residence:
So, come get some green in Greenbelt.
This show, presented by recreation department, is FREE.
Many thanks to Nicole DeWald, Arts Supervisor, for making this event happen.

Well, on Saturday, July 30th, we pack up our Appalachian show and take it to the world’s largest theatre festival. And If the results are anything like the reviews of our 5 show run at the Capital Fringe Festival, we’ll be in Scottish Heaven.

Thanks to all who came.
