Children's Matinee
Saturday Sept. 13th, 2pm

Music! Clowns! Storytelling! Magic! Dance! These elements and more are the ingredients that go into creating these wondrous evenings of entertainment and enlightenment. Celebrating its sixth year of production, the Revue is founded on the belief that local entertainment for local audiences can be a memorable and moving event. Performed under the trees on the North Garden Stage, the setting is half the show.

On Saturday there will also be a matinee offering; a one act version of our evening show that is equally delicious for children and their big people. This show has also been getting big crowds, so show up early for a good seat!
