The Importance of Being Earnest

A trivial comedy for serious people, "The Importance of Being Earnest" is a classic, high-farce comedy written at the height of Oscar Wilde's career.

Wilde's story is full of wit, intricate word play and many a handbag. It finds the two main male characters juggling ficticious lives in order to escape burdensome social and personal obligations. However, in the midst of all their bumbling, they find the unexpected - "true" love.

Celtic Crossroads

Just when you think that you have seen the best that Irish music has to offer, a fresh new show from Ireland is taking the art form to an entirely new level. Celtic Crossroads presents Irish music like never before, set to do to Irish music what Riverdance has done to Irish dance.

Celtic Crossroads is critically acclaimed as 'the most exhilarating and authentic show to come from Ireland in decades - not to be missed'. It is an explosion of youthful energy and dazzling musicianship. Celtic Crossroads abounds with fusions of traditional Irish music, bluegrass, gypsy and jazz whilst pulsating with the rhythms of exciting Irish dance percussion. Spontaneous mid show ovations are the norm, and enraptured Celtic Crossroads audiences are always compelled to shout, and SHOUT for more.

An Evening with C.S. Lewis
Featuring David Payne

The year is 1963 and C S Lewis, the famous British author, is in the twilight years of his life.    Following a request from his great friend, J.R. R. Tolkien, he has agreed to give an informal talk to a group of American writers who are visiting England.   They have come to Lewis’ home, just outside of Oxford, and are eagerly anticipating hearing the man who has become a legend in his own lifetime.   They are not disappointed.   Despite his failing health, Lewis is in great form.    His audience is spellbound as, with a display of oratory and humor that made him one of England’s most famous public speakers, he recounts the significant events and the people that shaped his life.

“An Evening with C S Lewis” takes you into the unique world of a man who lived a simple life in a modest house on the outskirts of the city of Oxford.   Full of humor, it is a fascinating and enthralling insight into the life of a man who became a legend in his own lifetime and who journeyed from atheism to Christianity to become one of the great champions of the Christian faith.

Newfound Road

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!!

NewFound Road has been called one of the most exciting bluegrass
bands of the new millennium. In 2010, NewFound Road made its debut on the legendary stage of The Grand Ole Opry. The band’s exciting and energetic stage show brought the members a busy touring schedule, playing to thousands of music lovers across the United States during its 2010 touring season - which for NewFound Road, is year round.

"This is crystalline bluegrass with a nice mix of originals and covers, secular and religious songs...NewFound Road does it really well, with love and superb chops.  I especially like Tom T. Hall's That's How I Got To Memphis and their sublime a cappella Rock of Ages." --SingOut!

"Led by the remarkable lead singing of Tim Shelton, this quartet shines with deep gospel roots and bluesy material, tight harmonies and a driving groove."
--CMT Magazine
