In this Clay Date you will learn the basics of slab or handbuilding to create a mug… or a “monster mug” if you want to add some spooky flair. This is a great activity for date night, girls night out or a fun experience with your teen. No experience necessary. Pieces will be ready a few weeks after class.

Our Playhouse in the Park After Dark was started 10 years ago to accommodate the community theater’s more challenging, adult-oriented shows. Playhouse in the Park offers this series for those willing to explore more mature themes, humor and subjects.

Carrie White is a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it.
