A comedy by playwright Larry Shue and directed by Joe Hilsee. A fishing lodge in rural Georgia is the setting for the visiting Englishmen Charlie Baker and Staff Sergeant Froggy LeSueur.

Sierra Nevada Big Room

The Allah-Las band (shown here) delivers alternative/indie rock with some surf rock influence. According to reviewers “Allah-Las seems to be transmitting from a place not found on any map. Those familiar with the band’s work will recognize their skillful melding of melodies and moods, but through that lens we see them venturing into new, exciting territories”. Joining them will be Monde UFO who just released their new album “Flamingo Tower”. Tickets: $32.64-$37.93, and Early Access $48.48. More info and tickets here or check out the CN&R calendar.
