July 16 - Peter, Paul & George

Rhythmic movement, music, history, social skills, international culture and customs, and an opportunity to provide a FUNcton for the whole family!  Paul teaches new dances and singing that give everyone something to do at home.  Seldom do we find someone who combines a talent for performing and teaching with an interest in historic dance and music, while keeping a sense of humor

July 23 - Jay Mankita

Jay brings warmth, humor and an amazing amount of energy to each of his performances.  Many of his songs have environmental themes that inform rather than preach, getting the children involved with motions and sing-alongs.  He is an extremely talented performer with an exceptional rapport with children

July 30 - The Zucchini Brothers

This band offers up a musical stir-fry of styles. Zucchini music bridges the musical gap between kids and adults, appealing to people of all ages. You never know just what these three zany guys will do. But one thing's for sure, once you've seen 'em - you won't forget 'em

Aug. 6 - Frank-Lee Speaking

Storyteller Dee Ellen Lee and her partner, Frank Wind, present inspirational, insightful and amusing stories for both adults and children.  Whether the children are listening to stories, acting them out, or telling their own, they enter a world of mystery and wonder that creates an exciting and rewarding adventure.

Aug. 13 - Storycrafters

Recognized nationally and locally, Jeri and Barry believe in the time-tested wisdom of traditional stories and share that wisdom with today’s audiences.  They strive to honor world cultures by telling the old stories in respectful ways, integrating the musical instruments, songs or dances indigenous to that region.

Aug. 20 - Castle Bridge Players - Sir George and the Dragon
