Then, finally, the annual County Fair Play, July 26 and 27

SUMMER MAGIC AT THE COUNTY FAIR

Combined Efforts Theatre's annual perambulating event takes the County Fair back to the early twentieth century. This is a time when small circuses and medicine shows traveled to counties everywhere. There will be music, dancing, and daring feats of strength and wit. And above all, a magical mystery: Are the contents of a magical elixir really magic or does the elixir somehow offer the courage needed to join a circus, tell someone you love them, or forgo expectations?

July 26 and 17, 6:30 at 3418 Osage ST St
