An Evening with Charlie Parr

Start your Labor Day weekend right with a free Friday night concert in the barn at Historic Forestville.

Charlie Parr is an incorruptible outsider who writes novelistic, multi-layered stories that shine a kaleidoscopic light on defiant, unseen characters thriving in the shadows all around us. Parr has a new record with only his name on it, and it isn’t shiny and perfect and commercial and catchy. It’s him. It’s pure Charlie Parr and that’s enough. He hasn’t moved to LA or Nashville; he’s stayed in the cold grey north of Minnesota, because that’s his home.

The Angel Next Door

Journey to an opulent Newport mansion in 1948, where playwrights, actors, and a star-struck novelist gather to work on their next Broadway hit! (Nevermind the housekeeper who wants them gone.) You get to be a fly on the (thin) walls of this romantic romp that captures the sheer joy, sophistication, and wit of classic screwball comedies. Paul Slade Smith (from last year's hit The Outsider) crafts "an elegant, sweet-dry glass of champagne, bubbling over with non-stop laughs, merriment, glamor, and high-spirited hijinks." –Broadway World
