DOLLY PARTON!
This is the rescheduled show from February. Tickets are costly, but probably worth it to see one of the greatest country artists of all time. Dolly was fourth of 12 children raised in a one-room cabin in Tennessee and is still married to her husband who she met at the age of 18 at the Wishy-Washy Laundromat. Now that’s a hell of a story!

Squeal screening
“An indy rock band becomes stranded on a country road when they encounter a genetic science experiment gone wrong. After a dark and bloody night held captive in a barn, the band breaks up in a way they could have never imaged. The sun rises on the carnage and sheds light on the horrors of animal testing. Produced locally by Dennis Doornbos and directed by Tony Swanswey, who will be at the screening.” — Music Box
