January 30, 2026
7:00 pm
Sit back and prepare to be amazed as three virtuoso musicians whisk you away on a peaceful, dream-like journey to the moon or beyond - a feast for the eyes and for the ears!
The Right in the Eye! film concert is a multimedia show performed both onstage and on screen, composed of 12 films by Georges Méliès, whose works present a playful world full of wonder, fantasy, and early movie comedy. It is a great way for children and their families to discover the origins of movies and also to explore the world of music, with more than 50 instruments on stage – many unusual and surprising.
Triple Espresso

February 11, 2026

Triple Espresso tells the story of three guys whose bid for showbiz fame and fortune ended in 4-minutes of magnificent failure on national television. Hugh Butternut, Buzz Maxwell, and Bobby Bean tell their rags-to-rags story earnestly, with hysterical results.
Butternut is a musician, a vulnerable soul with a lounge lizard smile; Maxwell is an uncertain magician with an attitude; and Bean is an irrepressible, all-over-the-map entertainer with big dreams. The laughter is infectious and the comedy appeals to everyone from first graders to grandparents.
