Fall 2019 Parks and Recreation Activities Brochure

LOONEY LUTHERANS YOUNG(ISH) AT HEART The Looney Lutherans are back with music, comedy and help from the audience to share their tips for aging humorously. This interactive comedy event includes the game show "What's in your lunchbox," musical advice for dealing with those aches and pains and creative tips for keeping fit, because Jello isn’t the only thing that jiggles. Material is comedic, family friendly, and you don’t have to be Lutheran to love it! Getting older may be a “pain in the neck”, but laughter is good medicine. Lunch includes: Dijon rosemary roasted pork loin, roasted red potatoes, green beans, dinner rolls, full soup/salad bar and dessert. Trip Pace: Light; WCA. Min: 14; Max: 20

BEYOND THE RAINBOW: GARLAND AT CARNEGIE HALL In 1961, when Judy Garland took to the stage at Carnegie Hall for her legendary comeback concert, "the house was packed with adoring fans of one of America's most beloved singers and entertainers." This stirring musical tribute truly tells Judy's story from her childhood in Grand Rapids, Minn., to Hollywood and "beyond the rainbow." The History Theatre will revisit and refresh this classic with Garland's greatest hits and choreography from some of her most famous movies. Trip Pace: Light; WCA.
