SUMMARY:A Rock and Roll Tribute by The Neverly Brothers

You’ll learn rock history and be thoroughly entertained with their chronological song sequence\, stories behind the music and vintage wardrobe changes. Their energetic stage show consists of show-stopping renditions of early hits by Jerry Lee Lewis\, Chuck Berry\, Buddy Holly\, The Beatles\, Rolling Stones\, and more!The first half of their concert pays tribute to the music created by the 1950s American Rock n’ Roll pioneers – which by 1960 had become a distant memory but became the inspiration for the next wave of young rock bands from Britain. The second half then pays tribute to the 1964 British Invasion bands that re-recorded the forgotten 1950s American rock music – along with lesser known early 1960s rhythm & blues songs\, recorded their own original songs and pulled Rock n’ Roll from the edge of extinction by re-inventing and re-energizing it for a new generation.Their repertoire includes spirited performances of classics like Great balls of fire\, Johnny B. Goode\, Wake up little Susie\, Summertime blues\, That’ll be the day\, Twist & shout\, Roll over Beethoven\, Satisfaction\, You really got me\, Love potion #9 and many more! \n\n\n\nTickets are available for purchase on the Sandwich Opera House website and are $30-$35.

SUMMARY:Stage Coach Players present: The Best Christmas Pageant
DESCRIPTION:Additional shows Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th at 2:00pm \n  \nBeth Bradley’s church’s Christmas pageant is predictable every year — the angel choir sings off key\, the shepherds are all in their father’s bathrobes\, the minister’s son is permanently cast in the role of Joseph. It is hardly “four-star entertainment.” But when seasoned and authoritative pageant director Mrs. Armstrong breaks her leg\, it is up to Beth’s inexperienced mother Grace to step in. The timing couldn’t be worse\, as the rambunctious Herdman children\, a rough and tough group of siblings from the wrong side of the tracks\, descend upon the pageant\, lured by the promise of free dessert at Sunday school\, and determined to win all the lead roles for themselves. The Ladies’ Aid Society members are beside themselves with disapproval\, all the shepherds quit because Gladys Herdman “hits too hard”\, the show is briefly re-titled “Revenge at Bethlehem\,” and the church catches on fire. But Beth and her community watch in surprise as the same old Christmas story is rejuvenated by the creativity\, energy\, and unexpected sincerity of a misunderstood young family. \nMary Robinson’s The Best Christmas Pageant Ever\, based on her novel of the same name\, is a widely beloved Christmas tale\, warm and incredibly funny\, full of characters both relatable and utterly unique. \nCast “Ham” \n\nMother/ Grace Bradley – Michelle Tolliver\nFather/ Bob Bradley – Jason Reed\nMrs. Armstrong – Liz Botts\nMrs. McCarthy – Adrianna Aumann-Weyenberg\nReverend Hopkins – Larry Rapach\n\n\nBeth Bradley – Arabella Marruffo\nCharlie Bradley – Evan Wiles\nAlice Wendleken -Tessa Spengler\nMaxine – Ginny Keating\nImogene Herdman – Daphne Wise\nRalph Herdman – Elijah Botts\nGladys Herdman – Ella Rittemeyer\nLeroy Herdman – Logan Pollack\nClaude Herdman – Oscar Boies\nOllie Herdman – Sammie Pollack\nElmer Hopkins – Drew Tolliver\nHobie – Chloe Moeller\nDavie – Lily Becker\nBeverly/ Shirley/ Juanita – Lucy Schenider\n\nCast “Halo” \n\nMother/ Grace Bradley – Michelle Tolliver\nFather/ Bob Bradley – Jason Reed\nMrs. Armstrong – Liz Botts\nMrs. McCarthy – Adrianna Aumann-Weyenberg\nReverend Hopkins – Larry Rapach\n\n\nBeth Bradley – Lorelei Storey\nCharlie Bradley – Louie Boies\nAlice Wendleken – Tatum Crouch\nMaxine – Shelby Joyner\nImogene Herdman – Iris Wiles\nRalph Herdman – Alexa Adams\nGladys Herdman – Samantha Kudelka\nLeroy Herdman – Olivia Steger\nClaude Herdman – John Holler\nOllie Herdman – Kairi Burnham\nElmer Hopkins – Grayson Campbell\nDavie – Mila Yates\nBeverly/ Shirley – Delaney Cook\nJuanita/ Doris – Iris Reed
