A cowboy circus about animals who fly!

This program is intended for and enjoyable for all ages. All children must be accompanied by a caregiver.

Leapin’ Louie uses circus, cowboy tricks, a six-foot unicycle, and lots of comedy to explore all of the wild critters, including us, who fly.

In 400 million years five amazing groups of animals developed flight: insects, pterosaurs, birds, bats, and finally, humans. Only 66 years after the Wright brothers invented the airplane, we landed on the moon. We’re moving so fast! Can we leave enough room for our amazing wild ecosystems as we jet into the future?

Leapin’ Louie is a master of physical comedy, trick roping, whip cracking, and juggling. He has performed one-person Leapin’ Louie shows in 35 different countries around the world, including many tours in Europe, Japan, and Australia.

Know Nostalgia: Songs & Stories from the American West

Modern day troubadour and award-winning songwriter Kerry Grombacher performs.

Kerry Grombacher is an award-winning songwriter who plays guitar and mandolin and performs original contemporary folk and western songs. In the spirit of the troubadours of old, he paints vivid portraits and tells fascinating stories that are set in the landscape where he’s worked and toured, from his home on New Orleans’ Bayou St. John to the desert southwest, and up to Montana and the Northwest forests. You’ll find him at Folk Festivals and Cowboy Poetry Gatherings, singing his songs, playing mandolin as a sideman, and picking in the jam sessions and around the campfires until the last song is sung.

Kerry has performed on stages as varied as the Newport Folk Festival and Cowboy Songs & Range Ballads (Cody, WY), the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and the Durango Cowboy Poetry Gathering (Durango, CO). In addition to appearing at Folk Festivals and Cowboy Gatherings, he regularly sings his songs at performing arts centers, libraries, house concerts and other music venues.

2024-09-23 18:00 - 19:00 | High Desert Music Hall
A night of beautiful instrumentation and song writing along with creative looping and beat making. This will be a magical sonic experience not to be missed.

TYLER SPENCER ⎮ Newport, Oregon

Tyler Spencer’s Didgeridoo Experience combines funky didgeridoo rhythms, worldly percussive beats, storytelling and audience participation. The didgeridoo has been played by Aboriginal Australians for at least 1500 years, and is known for its otherworldly sound. Tyler is a master didgeridoo player (and crafter) based out of Newport. He has been performing, teaching and making didgeridoos for 20+ years, and he is one of the most accomplished and talented didge players in the U.S. You’ll learn about Australian music, how didgeridoos are made and more … all while moving and grooving to the pulsing rhythms of the didge. Tyler’s Didgeridoo Experience is interactive, educational and entertaining for all ages!

Used in Aboriginal ceremonial performances to share stories and imitate wildlife, the didgeridoo is made of wood. Once chopped down, the logs are placed into giant termite mounds where the insects do the initial labor of hollowing out the log. The log is then chiseled out, stripped down and sanded. Like brass instruments, didgeridoos are played using circular breathing, a method that allows a musician to breathe in through their nose while exhaling out the mouth, keeping the sound going without interruption for a breath.

LAST TRAIN TO NIBROC

WRITTEN BY ARLENE HUTTON | DIRECTED BY JEANNIE WHITTLE

​“Last Train to Nibroc” centers around May and Raleigh who meet in 1940 on an eastbound train. Unable to enlist because of a medical condition, Raleigh wants to be a writer; May wants to be a missionary and they discover they are from neighboring towns in Kentucky. In this boy-meets-girl romance, nominated for Best Play 2000 by the New York Drama League, two young people navigate through the tough times of a country at war discovering what they have to give up to get what they really want.

“You could easily enjoy another few hours of this.” —The New York Times

“It is beautifully written…Every line is a heartbeat.” —Financial Times

“…a gently charming little play, reminiscent of Thornton Wilder…” —Associated Press

This production is part of the ETC Roadshow Program which sees our productions touring across multiple venues throughout Central Oregon.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM | $25
2024-10-05 19:00 | High Desert Music Hall
A Midsummer Night’s Dream

October 4th, 5th, 11th, and 12th, Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” comes to Central Oregon. We are hosted by The High Desert Music Hall in Redmond, will have an alcoholic bar and concessions available for guests, and plan to provide our patrons with an evening full of laughter, theater, and magic. While honoring the original plot and language of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, literary scholars in our audience might notice that our script has been trimmed to make it extremely accessible for our modern patrons. Fairies, Lovers, and Mischief all remain, but in a form that will draw our audience in rather than pushing them away. Furthermore, we intend to honor the tradition of Shakespeare performance that includes the audience in the story. Fairies run through aisles, Lovers chase with swords, and even Royalty deigns to acknowledge the attending crowd throughout our show. Students and teachers, business owners and employees stand shoulder-to-shoulder to create the magic that is Meadow Sky Productions’ performance of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”.

Beverages and concessions will be available for purchase before the show and during intermission. Food truck food is also welcome inside.

House Opens at 6:30 pm show begins at 7 pm. Show runtime is approximately 2 hours, with a 15 minute intermission.

As one of the few theaters in Central Oregon to commit to paying our actors, and with aspirations of being Central Oregon’s first professional Regional Theater, we are trust-falling into the hands of our community to support what we do and grow with us. Here’s just a sample of how your patronage, through tickets and sponsorships, will be used:

– This is a non-performance, non-audition group singing event– All voices (including yours) are welcome & wanted exactly as they are

– No previous experience required. Singing is just slooooow talking!– All songs are taught in a call-and-echo, aural tradition process– We’ll sing simple, accessible, harmonies, rounds, layer songs & more

Join local songleader Ian Carrick for the anciently familiar practice of singing together – for aliveness amidst despair, for beauty amidst grief, for joy within the cracks in our hearts.

Songleader, Ian Carrick, (white, able-bodied, cis-man) strives to “create as welcoming space for everyone regardless of ethnicity, abilities, gender, race, immigration status, class background, politics, or age and am always willing to admit I have room to grow”. After a decade of searching for accessible forms of community-based music and recovering his own voice, Ian founded Open Hub Singing in 2016 after discovering a widespread North American cultural revival of aural tradition singing.

Anthony “Never Tony” Poponi is the founder of Focus on the 40 and Humore.us Productions, is a standup comedian, international professional speaker, author and an expert in human happiness. Through the years he’s seen the funny (and not so funny) sides of understanding and seeking, finding, and crafting happiness in his own life. There have been trials, there have been tribulations. There have been times where he has used a thesaurus to make sure tribulations is the correct word to use in the previous sentence. We digress. There’s plenty that’s funny about happiness, pinky swear.

“What’s So Funny About Happiness” covers Anthony’s comedic journey from a youth born in New Jersey to his current day home of Bend, Oregon. As you’ll learn there’s plenty of humor (and happiness, mostly humor) in Anthony’s acts of “adulting”, the act of being an adult. Note, adulting is not to be confused with “adultering” which can be a natural, zesty enterprise.

Well known tribal historian, tradition bearer and elder, Wilson Wewa, will be speaking on the Northern Paiute presence in Central Oregon. His people have lived off the land from time immemorial and have learned to thrive on this land for centuries by their intense knowledge of the geography, plant identification, changing of the seasons and utilization of hunting, gathering and lifeway skills. This ancient knowledge which helped his people live on and with this land they call home is still in use today. He will also share his insights on how climate change is affecting thousands of years of his people’s lifeways.
