Blank Stage: Performances from the Porch

On September 11 & 12, the museum is proud to present a dynamic outdoor event celebrating diversity, self-expression and communal growth.

Blank Stage: Performances from the Porch gives rise to many different voices of our community, together to deliver theatre and music in its innumerable forms (song, spoken word, poetry and storytelling) under a unifying theme: Transition.  We invite you and yours to gather on the museum grounds to enjoy performances taking place from the museum’s porch. Audiences will be safely distanced.  Locally brewed Jobsite beer and delicious wine (Friday and Saturday night only) and non-alcohol beverages will be available for sale.
