Family Lawn Party

Saturday, June 15, 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM

Goodspeed Opera House
Gather the family and join us on the Goodspeed lawn for a celebration of all things musical theatre. This is a “hands on” event where everyone will have the opportunity to learn dance steps from a pro and set painting from an expert, sing along with some of our favorite show tunes, and have a photo taken in some very theatrical costumes.  Top it off with an insider’s tour of the Opera House and see how the magic happens. All are welcome to this free event, but we ask that you please RSVP to Michele Baumann at 860.873.8664 x333 or mbaumann@goodspeed.org
