Take me Home, A Tribute to the Music of John Denver by Jim Curry-June 20, 2025

“Jim Curry was over there sounding like John Denver… I closed my eyes and went back to the times when I worked with John.” Pete Huttlinger, guitar player for John Denver. Come join in the fun and take in the joy and hope of a full inspired evening of the music of America’s most beloved singer songwriter. National touring performer Jim Curry will have you clapping your hands and singing along to hit after hit.

From the very first song you will know why Jim was cast to be the voice of John Denver in the CBS movie “Take me home: the John Denver Story”. Curry was chosen as a key performer in the induction of John Denver into the Colorado Music Hall of fame show, and hosting the official John Denver Estate show that toured the United States and Australia, because of his pure clear voice that really delivers the music of John Denver.

“His voice was clear, sweet and oftentimes brought the audience to tears with its sincerity. What more can you ask for from an artist. Especially one singing the great hits of America’s Troubadour. If you ever get the chance to “hang around” with Jim Curry as he plays the music of the great John Denver, I highly recommend it.” –kevin

Curry has delighted audiences for over 23 years. Come and experience it yourself with family and friends.

Dan + Claudia Zanes-September 26,2025

Grammy award winning children’s performer Dan Zanes and Haitian-American music therapist / jazz vocalist Claudia Zanes have been making music with each other since the day they met in the fall of 2016.

The two decided while sitting at Dan’s kitchen table that afternoon that they would continue singing together and, in the spirit of progress and inclusion, would work with presenters to try and make all of their concerts sensory friendly.

Inspired by their artful modern-day all-ages folk music and their commitment to accessibility, the Kennedy Center commissioned Claudia and Dan to create a theater piece for young audiences. Night Train 57: A Sensory Friendly Comic Folk Operapremiered in October 2017 and has been performed several times since.

Their love of songs and communal music-making lead to a publishing deal with the Quarto Group USA and the result, an award winning songbook entitled Dan Zanes’ House Party: A Family Roots Music Treasury, was released in 2018.

In late 2019 the couple – now married! – moved from Brooklyn to Baltimore and what had been a full schedule of theater, school, and festival performances evaporated with the advent of the coronavirus. When a national state of emergency was declared in March, Dan and Claudia started their Social Isolation Song Series. For the next 200 days, in an effort to stay connected and uplift others, they performed a different song every day. This series of videos currently resides in the Library of Congress.

The two continue to adapt and reinvent and sing their way to new beginnings

The Accidental Hero-November 2, 2025

he Accidental Hero is a multi-media one-man show about Lieutenant Colonel Matt Konop, a WWII American officer who miraculously liberates the Czech villages of his grandparents. It's a true story written and performed by his grandson, Patrick Dewane.

Patrick's grandfather refused to talk about his service in the war. When he died, his basement yielded a treasure trove of typewritten accounts, photos, and rare film footage.

Dewane brings this archival material to glowing life as an enthralling, humorous and heartwarming tale of miraculous escapes and astonishing coincidences. This touching show runs from belly laughs to tears. Dewane takes on a dozen different roles as he powerfully recounts his grandfather's journey from Omaha Beach, the Battle of the Bulge, and the end of WWII. In the last week of the war, Konop's story turns away from a soldier's survival tale to something from mythology. He discovers his lost identity and is embraced by the tribe he never knew in an epic homecoming. As he freed the Czechs, he too, was liberated.
