Music by: Joe Estrada
Feature: Naomi Fitter
Headliner: Anthony Poponi
Joe Estrada
The last time someone asked Joe what kind of music he plays, all that came out was an incoherent mix of the words “grassy-punkish-blues-country…. ????” while his brain proceeded to implode. Was he being intentionally mysterious, or is he just really, really bad with his words? That’s for you to decide. Just don’t ask him what it’s called afterward.
Naomi Fitter escaped from Ohio at the age of 22. Her soothing midwestern voice has been described as “sexy,” “librarian-like,” and “nearly inaudible.” She has opened for Aparna Nancherla, Laurie Kilmartin, Whitney Cummings, and Steve Hofstetter and performed in the All Jane Comedy Festival. Her comedy has been featured on NPR and in TIME Magazine, and she was recently names Comic of the Week on the Jackie and Laurie Show.
Headlining comic Anthony Poponi is the founder of Focus on the 40 and Humore.us Productions and is a standup comedian, international professional speaker author and an expert in human happiness. Anthony’s comedic journey began as a youth (yout) born in New Jersey to his current day home of Bend, Oregon. As you’ll learn there’s plenty of humor (and happiness, mostly humor) in Anthony’s acts of “adulting”, the act of being an adult. And when it comes to acting like an adult Anthony deserves an Emmy. Come learn about his latest “fitness adjacent lifestyle brand” called Grossfit and his patented slogan “All Burps, No Burpees.” Grossfit will leave you sweating, but from meat sweats, not actual activity
· Come for happy hour starting at 4pm and enjoy drink specials.

The Lightning Thief – The Percy Jackson Musical is coming to Central Oregon August 14th-24th.
Adapted from the first book of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series, The Lightning Thief, this high-energy musical is sure to electrify audiences of all ages. Join Percy Jackson on his quest to discover the truth about his origins and himself while discovering new friends and new dangers.
Summary:
Percy Jackson had only known trouble, bouncing from school to school due to confusing misunderstandings and mishaps. One particularly bad day, he finally discovers the truth: the Greek gods are real, and he himself is a half-blood; a child of one of the Greek pantheon. After mythological monsters kidnap his mom and nearly kill him, Percy finds himself at Camp Half-Blood, a summer camp for half-blood demi-god kids like himself. Percy reunites with school-friend Grover, a Satyr, and makes many new friends including Annabeth and Luke at camp, and what follows next is an emotional, raucous journey full of friendships, quests, betrayals, prophecies, adventure, and so much more.

Book by Joe Tracz

THE LIGHTNING THIEF is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. http://www.concordtheatricals.com
Originally commissioned, Created, and Produced Off Broadway by TheaterWorksUSA.

Left quad. Right quad. Lunge. A girls indoor soccer team warms up. From the safety of their suburban stretch circle, the team navigates big questions and wages tiny battles with all the vim and vigor of a pack of adolescent warriors. THE WOLVES is a portrait of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for nine American girls who just want to score some goals.
The Wolves is a one-act play by Sarah DeLappe. It premiered Off-Broadway at the Duke on 42nd Street in September 2016, produced by The Playwrights Realm. It centers on the experiences of high school girls through their weekly Saturday morning pre-game soccer warmups. The Wolves received the American Playwriting Foundation’s inaugural Relentless Award in 2015, and was a New York Times Critic’s Pick. The Economist reviewer wrote: “She has penned an absorbing portrait of female adolescence in The Wolves”. The play was a finalist in 2015-16 for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.[1] The play won the 2017 Obie Award for Ensemble work. The play was a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The committee wrote: “For a timely play about a girls’ high school soccer team that illuminates with the unmistakable ping of reality the way young selves are formed when innate character clashes with external challenges.”
Directed by John Kish and Natalie Curtis.

ABOUT THE TOUR
Adventure: Join us on a high alpine lake for a night of celestial wonder! Far from any city lights, with the moon starting below the horizon and rising as we near the end of our time on the water, there will be minimal light pollution, allowing the Perseids meteor shower to truly shine!
Naturalist Guided Experience:
We will journey up to the high elevation lakes in the Cascade Mountains. As the last of the sun’s light disappears behind the mighty Cascades, we will push out into the water. Shortly after hitting the water, the Perseids will begin their peak! We are also running a Perseids Meteor Shower Hike if you’d prefer to take to the hills!
During your journey, our naturalist guides will highlight the stunning geography, flora, and fauna of the area. They may impart an understanding of the heaven’s starlight illuminating the night sky. Age-old stories and myths mixed with astronomy will enlighten just as the stars and moon do!
Can’t make it for the 12th? The nights surrounding the peak will also provide the opportunity to see meteors! We have 3 other special Perseids Canoe Tours on Aug. 15, 16 & 17th!
