June 4-7th, Ten Thousand Things Theater presents The Most Happy Fella! A waitress finds a love note from a mysterious customer and begins a letter-writing romance with a man who calls her “Rosabella.” Little does she know the object of her growing love is Tony, an aging immigrant wine grower. Fearing his “Rosabella” will reject him, Tony sends her a photograph of his handsome foreman instead. As her visit approaches, the stage is set for confusion, hurt, and betrayal before finally blooming into love and understanding. This return to a beautiful story marks the revival of TTT's second-ever musical.

Last chance! TOMORROW is the last Aerial Arts class with The Sandbox at 825 Arts! These FREE beginner aerial training are for anyone to use aerial arts to explore story and to feel playfully powerful. Come play and surprise yourself.

You’ll be guided with one-on-one instruction by resident aerialist Evie Digirolamo who has trained and choreographed performers in the aerial theater productions: Little Pilot, Houdini, Bone Mother, The Matrix (for the 5/5 Fringe Fundraiser), Snow Queen, and Charlotte’s Web. Evie believes you are the expert of you and loves to find adaptations for each person that feel exciting and empowering, and she insists that you’ll be surprised by what you can do.

Class size will be kept small because Evie will only be working with one person at a time on one aerial silk. Each class will keep 5 spots available for walk-ups. You can find the google form to request to reserve a spot here: https://forms.gle/iKThZu79zkvLs5nG9

You will receive an email informing you if your reservation is confirmed or if registration is full.
Young folks welcome as well, but will need to be accompanied by a guardian who can sign a waiver for them to participate.
