  • Laundry & Bourbon with Lonestar

    Laundry and Bourbon with Lonestar, two companion one act plays set in backyards of a small Texas town. Three ladies come together to talk about their life's ups and downs. Lonestar follows the life of three small town boys and the events that have shaped them. Both shows give us highs & lows with humor spread around, for good measure.

    Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Elliott Kay

    Perhaps the greatest surviving character from the mid-century folk revival, 91-year-old Ramblin’ Jack Elliott remains the essence of America’s free spirit. As a young New Yorker at the dawn of the 1950’s he befriended, studied with, and traveled alongside Woody Guthrie, then became a link of authenticity for a generation of ensuing artists: mentoring Dylan and the Dead, and inspiring a school-aged Mick Jagger to get a guitar after seeing Elliott busking at a train station in England. Cowboy, sailor, vagabond, minstrel, and National Medal of the Arts recipient, the singer/guitarist is, at his core, the ultimate wayfaring storyteller, absorbing the country and passing it on through song.
