SUMMARY:Message Session VI- Community
DESCRIPTION:Message is not your typical concert series. It is an oasis where local artists find their voice and share their stories. Here\, music transcends mere entertainment–it becomes personal. Local talent takes center stage. These are the musicians who play at the neighborhood cafes\, scribble lyrics on napkins\, and dream big. They’re not chasing fame\, they’re chasing connection. From soulful ballads to introspective rap\, their performances resonate with authenticity. Every Message event is unrepeatable\, no two shows are alike; each carries a unique message. The audience sits close enough to see the artist’s fingertips on the strings and feel the raw emotion in every lyric. This is an event for anyone seeking refuge from the noise\, who craves more than a passive concert experience.

SUMMARY:Pocket Moxie: A Happenstance Vaudeville with Happenstance Theater
DESCRIPTION:A light-hearted homage to the style and spirit of the Great Age of Vaudeville\, an immensely popular theatre from the late 19th and early 20th centuries\, comprised of specialty acts\, song\, and dance. Happenstance Theater’s five versatile players breathe new life into classic old routines from a ventriloquist’s dummy to a magic act that goes awry\, from novelty songs and a musical saw to waiters juggling meatballs\, all with full live foley sound effects. This show teems with hijinks\, harmonies\, nostalgic beauty\, and physical comedy. This family-friendly show has something for everyone! \n\n\n\n              \n               \n               \n                    \n                        \n							                            														\n							                                Fri.\, Feb. 6\, 7 pm Tickets\n                            \n                            							                            														\n							                                Sat.\, Feb. 7\, 7 pm Tickets
