Get ready for an evening of lively rhythms, joyful melodies, and irresistible dance tunes as the Coast Klezmer Band performs a free concert at the North Bend Public Library on Friday, December 5 at 7:00 PM. Klezmer music, rooted in the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe, blends centuries-old traditions with a timeless, toe-tapping energy. Its recent revival over the past 50 years speaks to the music’s universal appeal and infectious spirit. This concert takes place just before Chanukkah and is free and open to the public.

For the Holidays, come and experience the magic of our newest production, Hansel & Gretel, at Camelot! A Panto is a lively theatrical performance that combines comedy, music, dance, and audience interaction.

Not only is the production directed by Camelot Theatre Artistic Director Gwen Overland, but she has also written the original script based on the beloved children’s classic story in the innovative and entertaining format of Panto. What also sets it apart is the live music that accompanies the actors on stage.

Imagine West Texas in 1955. A struggling young widow and her three ranch hands are trying to come up with “Somethin’ Special for Christmas” for her young son with the help of his school teacher, while a nefarious neighbor is plotting how to buy her ranch.
This Generations Theater Company production is also a dinner theater catered by Smokin’ Gingers, a popular local food truck. The play opens in Junction City on November 28 and runs for two week-ends through Dec. 6, with evening and Saturday matinee shows.
ASL interpretation for the Deaf is provided at the Nov. 29 matinee and the Dec. 4 evening show.
Come have dinner, dessert, and show, or just dessert and show, or just show! It’s all fun. For ticket information visit Generations Theater Company’s website: jctheater.com, and click on “Events”.
