Friday June 21, let’s kick off summer with fun lovin’ Baltimore-based roots/Americana band The Old Part of Town. This will be our first Sunset Concert of the season with the celebration of the Summer Solstice.
Based upon the true-life story of 16-year-old British schoolboy Jamie Campbell, Jamie New is a 16-year-old who doesn't quite fit in. Instead of pursuing a traditional career, he dreams of becoming a professional drag queen. Uncertain about his future, Jamie knows one thing for sure — he's going to be a sensation. Supported by his brilliant, loving mum and surrounded by his friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies, and steps out of the darkness into the spotlight. Sixteen: the edge of possibility. Time to make your dreams come true.
Filled with clever schemes and side-splitting humor, this story follows the misadventures of audience favorite, Sir John Falstaff. He devises a plan to woo two friends at the same time. But these women are one step ahead. They turn the tables on Falstaff, creating a farcical tale of romantic entanglements. There is nothing better than laughing with Shakespeare under the stars.
