One if by improv

Come help us celebrate the 250th birthday of the USA at the Jasper County Fairgrounds on July 4th!

At 12:30pm and again at 2pm, on the free stage, we'll be pondering the important questions in life, like: "What were the rejected poses for the Statue of Liberty?", and "What could be alternate jobs for the Founding Fathers?"

It's a Red, White, and Blue improv! Come join us on stage, or in the audience!

Please join us for a whimsical retelling of cultural folktales from early American history! Johnny Ringo, Virginia Dare, and the Headless Horseman are joined by a host of other familiar characters such as Paul Bunyan, Johnny Appleseed, and Blackbeard - all set on the background of a dramatized 1930's radio special! Come laugh and learn with us as we take you on a whirlwind tour of fractured folklore from the first 150 years.

Family Theater

At The Carnegie Players, we believe that families should share the love of theater with each other. To that end, we encourage those under the age of 13 to be accompanied by a guardian during all events. The guardian is welcome to participate in the event, or not, as they choose, for no additional cost.
