In a Woodshed (Chatham County? North Carolina??) first, three independent theater groups---preteens at a summer camp, adults at the Woodshed, and seniors from Carolina Meadows---have been tasked with creating three brand new short musicals based on the same single prompt. We will share these three mini-musicals back-to-back-to-back at Carolina Meadows on July 17 at 3pm. Come check it out!

SONG SWAP with
ABIGAIL DOWD &
TYRONE COTTON
Tuesday, October 8, 7:30p
Singer/songwriter/guitarist Abigail Dowd joins us from Greensboro, NC. She's a captivating storyteller who weaves hints of Celtic melodies with the soulful gospel of the south to create a sound that dances between folk, rock and blues.
Tyrone Cotton has one of the most singular blues voices. Hailing from Louisville, KY (where Dawn met him and fell in love with his music), Cotton’s debut album, Man Like Me, draws inspiration from influences such as Jerry Garcia, Buddy Guy, and Mississippi John Hurt and is the result of his nearly 30 years of performing. He'll be joined by legendary drummer Ray Rizzo. We are elated to host them both!
