🎭 Looking for a summer night out that’s anything but ordinary? Head down to Spring Grove for a charming slice of local magic at Ye Olde Opera House—a community theater with decades of heart and a whole lot of talent.
This year’s big outdoor production is Something Rotten, a hilarious Broadway musical packed with big laughs, catchy songs, and Renaissance-era absurdity. Catch it under the stars at the Gray Barn July 16–19 at 8:30 PM. Come early to enjoy dinner downtown, then grab your lawn chair and let the show sweep you away.
👉 Tickets and details at: yeoldeoperahouse.org
Make a night of it. You’ll leave grinning.
