Kitsap Forest Theater presents Little WomenBased on Louisa May Alcott’s American classic, this Civil War story of love and family stands the test of time.Produced nationally and internationally, Little Women has been praised by critics for its ambition in adapting such a well-known story for the stage. This timeless, captivating story is brought to life in this glorious musical filled with personal discovery, heartache, hope and everlasting love.Based on Louisa May Alcott’s life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America.Little Women guarantees an afternoon filled with laughter, tears and a lifting of the spirit. The powerful score soars with the sounds of personal discovery, heartache and hope – the sounds of a young America finding its voice. We invite you to join with us as we celebrate gathering together again for live theater in a safe and beautiful outdoor setting.All shows are on Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 pm. Show dates are June 12/13, 19/20, 26/27; July 10/11, 17/18, 24/25; August 7/8, 14/15, 21/22. Download this hand calendar here.

Music therapy interventions can address a variety of healthcare & educational goals: promote wellness, manage stress, alleviate pain, express feelings, enhance memory, improve communication, promote physical rehabilitation, and more.”— American Music Therapy AssociationIn Ms. Stephanie’s words, music therapy is both interactive and immersive, inviting and encouraging, motivating and magical. Music therapists work to improve, enhance, or maintain emotional, physical, behavioral, social, and cognitive well-being. Facilitating development in communication and sensorimotor skills can also be addressed. Music therapists use music as the vehicle to target those needs through a variety of music therapy techniques and interventions, including singing, instrument play, movement to music, songwriting, improvisation, lyric analysis, music learning and performance, and receptive music listening.Register here: https://forms.gle/m6Hog4fM9s7fWHqK8https://www.facebook.com/tinynotesmm

August 19th Hippie & the Squids
Here’s a lil info about the band:The Shy Boys started with a few guys sitting around a campfire talking about all of the songs that moved and defined their generation. Someone picked up a guitar and the rest just came together.Their shows are electric and you cannot help but jump in the fray when you hear and see them. One minute you are singing along to an old favorite and the next, you are dragging your partner onto the dance floor. No genre is sacred…no era off limits. If it moved the world, they will play it.Since their debut at a local coffee shop more than a decade ago, The Shy Boys have been drawing fans and rocking parties, festivals, clubs, beaches and homes ever since. They have headlined small parties, major festivals and everything in between. They have even opened for a few big-name touring acts including Huey Lewis and the News and The Doobie Brothers.Known for amazing harmonies and multi-instrumental talents, The Shy Boys consistently capture the spirit and vibrancy that made these songs what they are. Also known for chemistry, stage presence and performance skills, they love to engage their audiences with wild and woolly antics, always leading the charge into full-blown revelry. While the lineup has evolved over the years, the mission statement remains the same:“To provide a unique and memorable entertainment experience through professionalism, excellent musicianship, careful song and content selection, top notch customer service, and an unyielding emphasis on fun.”Come for the music, stay for the fun! We promise you won’t be disappointed!!If you’d like to support fun events like this please consider a donation to our non-profit organization.
