A singer, composer, and actor, Lyle Lovett has broadened the definition of American music in a career that spans 14 albums. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the Texas-based musician fuses elements of country, swing, jazz, folk, gospel, and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers.

In this class you will learn basic wiring techniques for creating earrings and jewelry pieces. You will also learn some of the healing/metaphysical properties of gemstones.

How do you make Beatles music even more fun? Take it to Mardi Gras in New Orleans and orchestrate it all for a big band! Meet your next two best friends –Jeremy Davis and Clay Johnson, along with their Fabulous Equinox Orchestra! Inspired both by Rat Pack sophistication and Highwaymen swagger, Davis and Johnson are making their own revisions to America’s songbook and offering a vibrant twist on classics like “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Hey Jude” and “Abbey Road Overture.” A Flavorfully Soulful Southern Big Band Blast of Beatles Hits!

"Rumors" By Neil Simon
Oct 16-26

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when gossip runs wild and no one can keep their story straight—Neil Simon has the answer.
