Join us for a spectacular evening with "Out There: A National Parks Story," an award-winning, feature-length documentary that explores the enduring power of America’s public lands. This one-time event offers a live music performance, exclusive film screening, and conversation with the director, celebrating the wonder of national parks and the stories that connect us all. 

Watch film trailer: https://www.outthere.film/

The film follows director Brendan Hall and his childhood friend as they set off in the centennial year of the National Park Service on a 10,000-mile journey through America’s parks. What begins as a summer road trip becomes a seven-year odyssey, capturing untold stories of those who protect, visit, and find healing in these wild places.  

Through intimate interviews, breathtaking cinematography, and a moving original score, the film reveals the parks as more than landscapes—they are places of reflection, resilience, and connection across generations and cultures. Both a stunning visual tribute and a grassroots love letter, Out There reimagines what it means to belong in the natural world and the power of public lands to bring us back to ourselves.

Joe Jackson was born on August 11, 1954 in Burton-on-Trent, England, but grew up in the South Coast naval port city of Portsmouth.  At age 16 Joe played his first paying gig, as pianist in a pub next doorto a glue factory just outside of Portsmouth. This was followed by other pub gigs (in which he was often trying to entertain crowds of drunken, bottle-throwing sailors) and accompanying a bouzouki player in a Greek restaurant.

By 1978 Joe was living in London and hawking an album-length demo, with his own band (Graham Maby, Bass; Dave Houghton, Drums; Gary Sanford, Guitar) standing by. That demo - already called Look Sharp - eventually found its way to American producer David Kershenbaum, who was in London in the capacity of talent scout for A&M Records. Joe was immediately signed and Look Sharp more professionally re-recorded in August '78. The Joe Jackson Band finally started to play regular gigs and the album was released in January 1979.

“Two singer-songwriters sit on the edge of a cliff…”
With these words, we are drawn into the world of Both Sides Now - a theatrical concert that explores the music and lives of long-time friends and one-time lovers, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. Created by, and starring Robbie Schaefer and Danielle Wertz, the cabaret-style performance traverses decades alongside songs such as A Case of You, Hallelujah, Big Yellow Taxi, Suzanne, and many more. Both Sides Now is at once a piece of the 60’s and 70’s, and of right now -- offering us a story about the messiness of being human, of lives persistently lived at the edge of growth, and of finding the courage to turn toward one another, again and again.

Close your eyes and imagine the music of the 60s filling the room - warm, bright, and full of life.

Now think of that same sound performed live on stage with energy and heart. That is what The Four C Notes bring to every show. Their tribute show celebrates the unforgettable songs made famous by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. Created by John Michael Coppola, the group focuses on staying true to the original style. Frankie Valli is an American singer with a very high and unique voice. He became famous in the 1960s. His voice is easy to recognize and hard to forget. His many hit songs include "Can't Take My Eyes Off You” and “My Eyes Adored You - people still love today.

The Four C Notes were created out of love and respect for the classic music of the 1960s. The group wanted to bring back the true sound, style, and feeling of that golden time. Their goal was simple - help people hear these songs live again and feel the same joy.
