SUMMARY:Memorial Day Remembrance Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday in 2026\, it is especially meaningful to take time this Memorial Day to honor the men and women of our nation’s military who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom. Join us on Monday\, May 25\, at 10 a.m. for our annual Memorial Day Remembrance Ceremony. \nOur keynote speaker will be Ryan Manion\, CEO of the Travis Manion Foundation. Ryan’s brother Travis\, a U.S. Marine Corps 1st Lieutenant\, gave his life in 2007\, during his second deployment to Iraq. While on patrol searching for a suspected insurgent house in Fallujah\, Travis\, his fellow Marines\, and Iraqi Army counterparts were ambushed. Travis led a counterattack\, drawing fire away from his wounded comrades and allowing every other member of his patrol to survive. For his actions\, he was awarded the Silver Star and Bronze Star with Valor. \nThe Travis Manion Foundation works to unite communities to strengthen our nation by empowering Veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop character in future generations.

SUMMARY:Hadestown
DESCRIPTION:COME SEE HOW THE WORLD COULD BE. Welcome to HADESTOWN\, where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards® including Best Musical and the 2020 Grammy® Award for Best Musical Theater Album\, this acclaimed new show from celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and original director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha\, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today… and always. HADESTOWN intertwines two mythic tales — that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice\, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone — as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature\, doubt against faith\, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors\, dancers and singers\, HADESTOWN is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go.
