Farm Arts Collective Presents…

“Dream on the Farm”

Saturday, February 26th, 2022

Farm Arts Collective, an ensemble of actors, stilt-walkers, farmers, musicians, and scientists based on Willow Wisp Organic Farm in Damascus, PA performs Dream on the Farm, one of 10 performances that the theatre group is developing from 2020-2030 that examines the climate crisis.
Directed by artistic director and organic farmer Tannis Kowalchuk, Dream on the Farm was featured in the New York Times and was originally performed across the 30 acre vegetable farm in summer 2021. Audiences in Scranton can now see the hour-long all ages performance indoors performed by the Farm Arts Collective actors, stilt walkers, and musicians.
The entertaining and fast-paced musical performance follows two scientists, astronomer Carl Sagan and microbiologist Lynn Margulis who are called back from the after-life to compete in a match to see whose science– micro or macro, can help save the planet from climate change disaster.
The two scientists journey and encounter microbes, insects and earth systems (hydrosphere, atmosphere) and in the play’s conclusion, present their points of view–Dr. Margulis from a perspective viewed by her microscope, and Dr. Sagan from the telescope. In the end both scientists agree that it will take both a macro and a micro point of view to solve global and local climate change issues.
Performances are followed with a Q and A with the artists and scientists of Farm Arts Collective.

Directed by Tannis Kowalchuk
Co-Directed and Dramaturgy by Mimi McGurl

Nashville based Americana singer/songwriter Mike Miz is back in town FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY with his first NEPA show since the fall.  Only this time, we’ll be hearing something a little different.

Both releases are songs produced since signing with Electric 3 Records.

The rest of the lineup  includes star-studded locals such as Bret Alexander (The Badlees) joined by friends Tim & Rob Husty and AJ Jump with special guest, Ellie Rose!

Roy Williams (Big Leaf, Southside Five, Bog Swing Band, The Fiddle Tamers, Human Hands) will be accompanied by Shawn Caden as they debut their new duo Big Leaf with music made for guitar and mandolin. Opening the show is one of the region’s favorite singer/songwriters and storytellers, Dave Brown (Dishonest Fiddlers) who recently moved to the Harrisburg area.

Join us for this intimate “unplugged” version of some of our area’s favorite rockers as they perform mixed sets of original music, folklore and more!
