CCftA Cocktail Corner with Ira: The Hard Shandy
With summer around the corner and the temperatures warming up, I thought I’d share a cocktail that was featured during CCFTA’s production of
The Odd Couple
.
You will need:
A 16 oz. pilsner glass
1 ½ ounce of Irish whiskey
½ ounce lemonade (homemade or store-bought and chilled)
8 ounces Cape C. Beer Summer (ice cold)
In the pilsner glass, add the Irish whiskey followed by the lemonade and finished with the beer, NO Ice. Garnish with a lemon wedge. Enjoy!

Listen to
Tonight (Sit Tight)
by Centertonix a cappella— another Covid-19 isolation parody written by Brian Morris!
|
|
The Gallery is awash with BLUES: artworks inspired by blues music, blue color, or blue mood…the spectrum is as wide as the creativity of the artists. More than 125 works of art were hung just before the COVID-19 crisis. When our doors open, we look forward to welcoming the public. Meanwhile, view the works of art by visiting our Facebook gallery via the link below.

View Highlights from Past Productions
|
|
While the Center is closed, executive director David Kuehn will be uploading video clips of some of his favorite moments from past productions on the main stage. We realize the sound and video quality is not great—
we record our performances for archival and educational purposes only—
but it will give you a chance to come back regularly, check out some of the numbers from shows you saw and loved in the past, or that you missed. You're welcome!

Visit our Little Free Pantry and 'Art Is...' Chalk Wall
|
In an effort to help our neighbors affected by the COVID-19 crisis, the Center's
Little Free Library
has been converted into a Little Free Pantry. Take what you need, and if you can, please donate what you can spare. While you're at it, you can leave a message on our 'Art Is...' chalk wall, letting everyone know how important art is to you! Both are located just to the right of the main theater building.
