Thursday, April 24 @ 7pm
Music Hall Ballroom
Tickets
Friends of Music Hall is thrilled to announce the return of its popular silent film concert series, featuring the iconic 1924 silent film Peter Pan, accompanied by acclaimed organist Brett Valliant on the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ!
Based on J.M. Barrie’s classic play, Peter Pan (1924) was the first film adaptation of the beloved story and inspired the later Disney animated version. The enchanting tale follows Wendy, John, and Michael Darling on their journey to Neverland with the mischievous Peter Pan and features notable performances by Betty Bronson as Peter Pan and Ernest Torrence as Captain Hook.
Step into the magic of Neverland and embrace the timeless theme of Peter Pan! Guests are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite characters from the beloved tale. The evening will be filled with whimsy and nostalgia, family-friendly activities for all ages, and a chance to lose yourself in a world where no one ever has to grow up. Don’t miss this enchanting opportunity to celebrate the story that has captured hearts for generations!
About The Organist – Brett Valliant
The evening’s organist is renowned for his dynamic and masterful performances on theatre and church organs. Brett studied organ at Wichita State University with Robert Town, as well as privately in the US and Australia. His career spans decades and continents. He regularly appears at silent film festivals, organ conventions, and concert venues worldwide. In 2021, Brett was honored as Organist of the Year by the American Theatre Organ Society.
The season sponsor for the Mighty Wurlitzer concerts is Bahl & Gaynor Investment Counsel.

Birthday Candles
April 19 - May 18
Rosenthal Shelterhouse Theatre
Tickets
The ingredients for the cake are simple: eggs, butter, sugar, salt. Look closer, though, and you’ll see the essence of life itself. Every year, Ernestine bakes a cake and celebrates with her family on her birthday — a delicious ritual that unfolds onstage across 90 years of birthdays. We meet Ernestine and the people who sweeten her life every year on this day as she grows from 17 to 107 years old. Through glimpses of Ernestine’s life as the years go by, Birthday Candles tenderly explores motherhood, family, love, loss and finding your place in the universe. This charming new play, recently performed on Broadway, will warm the soul.
Presented by the Markley Family
By Noah Haidle
Directed by Joanie Schultz

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
May 1 - 2 (ASL interpreted dates May 2 and May 11)
Footlighter's Stained Glass Theater
Tickets
Lawrence Jameson makes his lavish living by charming wealthy women out of their money. Freddy Benson swindles much humbler amounts from sympathetic women with fabricated stories about his grandmother's failing health. After a chance meeting on a train, they attempt to work together—only to find that this small French town isn't big enough for the two of them. They agree on a settlement: The first one to extract $50,000 from heiress Christine Colgate wins, and the other must leave town. But who’s really conning who?
