All Hands on Deck-- a Musical Theatre in the Awbury Arboretum

Thursday, August 18, 2016 - 6:00pm to Friday, August 19, 2016 - 8:00pm

Yes! And... Collaborative Arts presents their first annual summer family musical theater event, the Summer Sort of Thing, with a production of their original musical, "All Hands on Deck," Wednesday, Aug. 17 through Friday, Aug. 19. The production is a remount of their 2012 production, featuring new lyrics and songs by Germantown residents Brooke Sexton and Sarah C. Butts Manzo. It runs outdoors on the historic Awbury Arboretum grounds at 1 Awbury Road, off Chew Avenue in Germantown. Bring a blanket or chairs! $5 donation requested.

When the child you have faithfully served as an Imaginary Friend "unbelieves” you without warning, you might be a bit upset. Lucky for these recently dumped IFs (Imaginary Friends), the mysterious and dashing Captain Popadapolus whisks them away to join her crew, sailing the seas and making mischief wherever they land. However, it turns out monkey business is not all it's cracked up to be and great changes await for the whole crew. With a story that is sure to appeal to young and old alike, "All Hands on Deck" features slapstick comedy, rousing sea shanties and soaring ballads.
