Join Dr. Watson in a twisty, tantalizing mystery as he navigates a deadly guessing game to uncover the truth behind three men claiming to be Sherlock Holmes, in Jeffery Hatcher's gripping adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's original tale, Holmes and Watson.

Sherlock Holmes is dead. Or at least he is believed to be.  The great detective went over the Reichenbach falls with his nemesis, Professor Moriarty. But his body was never found.  Three years later, Sherlock’s best friend and sidekick, Dr. Watson, receives word that three men claiming to be Sherlock Holmes are being held in an asylum on a remote island.  Watson makes his way to the island to disprove the imposters, but when he arrives nothing is as it seems, and identifying the real Sherlock turns into a deadly guessing game. In this gripping adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s original mystery, Jeffery Hatcher’s Holmes and Watson is a twisty, tantalizing mystery that keeps its characters and audience alike guessing until the final moments.

Join the Bottom Brothers on a riotous quest to outshine Shakespeare in this uproariously entertaining musical romp.  Something Rotten blends sixteenth-century wit with twenty-first-century Broadway flair to prove that stardom requires kicking up your heels and staying true to yourself.

Embark on a riotous journey as two brothers, Nick and Nigel Bottom, aim to pen the world's first musical and just maybe outshine the Renaissance rockstar known as the bard.  But along the way, the Bottom Brothers realize that stardom ultimately requires kicking up their heels and being true to thine own self. Something Rotten blends sixteenth-century Shakespearean wit with twenty-first-century Broadway flair in this uproariously entertaining romp. Created by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick and screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell, Something Rotten was hailed by Time Out New York as "the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years," proving there’s “nothing’s as amazing as a musical.”

Soul Majestic

Roots Reggae

Sun, Aug 24th, 2025 at 3:00 pm

Doors open at 2:30pm - Open seating

Originated on the sandy shores of California, Soul Majestic channels their sunny beach days and bonfire nights into their unique style of reggae music. Look beyond their laid-back vibe, and you’ll find they are ever pushing the boundaries of the genre with an edge that cuts through the smoky haze. Their music blends a deep commitment to roots reggae with a love of hip-hop, R&B/Soul, psychedelic rock, pop and folk music. It’s a new twist on familiar reggae sounds, with conscious, heartfelt, and socially relevant yet timeless messages. Their signature vocal sound features male and female singers trading melodies and soaring harmonies, laced with edgy, crowd hyping dancehall verses and memorable hooks. Epic lead guitar solos wail over a wide range of tight danceable beats, rock flourishes, and heavy-dub interludes that will captivate and move you to dance.
