Join us for a special TCR Out of Doors youth theatre presentation of Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! — July 5-21 at Brucemore’s beautiful Peggy Boyle Whitworth Amphitheatre.
Whatever you do, don’t let the Pigeon star in his own musical production! With a script by Mo Willems, Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! is even more fun than staying up late and having a hot dog party! It’s not easy being the Pigeon – you never get to do ANYTHING! But when the Bus Driver has a crisis that threatens to make her passengers (gasp!) late, maybe that wily bird CAN do something.
Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling, Caldecott Honor award-winning “Pigeon” picture books. Written by Mo Willems and Mr. Warburton, lyrics by Mo Willems and music by Deborah Wicks La Puma (Elephant & Piggie’s We Are in a Play!).
Tickets are sold through the TCR box office. Please call 319-366-8591 with any inquiries.

Artisan Studio Showcase: Marcy Each
2024-07-16 19:00 - 21:00
The first 2024 Artisan Studio Showcase kicks off with singer-songwriter Marcy Each telling stories through her original songs. Her first album was recorded in Nashville and her most recent album, which is being recorded right here on the Brucemore estate with co-producers Jim Coates and Brucemore Artisan-in-Residence Gerard Estella. Where previous projects have placed Marcy in the realms of folk and country (with a hint of gospel), this endeavor pushes toward a heavier, rootsy, and organic Americana feel. Existing fans of Marcy will be pleasantly surprised to see and hear Marcy in a different context than they might be accustomed to – complete with a full band. And new fans of Marcy will get to experience the breadth of her writing and singing ability!
Bring your own chair (or blanket), picnic, and beverage to enjoy great music under the stars on the Artisan Studio Lawn.
Event Date: July 16, 7:00 PM
Location: Artisan Studio Lawn
Admission:

Adult: $15
Student: $10

About Marcy
Marcy’s journey into music began at the age of 14 when she discovered her mother’s classical guitar in the attic. Since then, she has dedicated herself to her craft, gaining recognition as a gifted vocalist and songwriter. Her music career has taken her to notable stages, including the Cabin Stage at MerleFest in North Carolina, and to recording studios in Nashville. Her latest album, The Ghosts of Fishermen, is a nostalgic, honest Americana collection that has resonated with fans old and new.

The Light in the Piazza - TCR Outdoors at Brucemore
2024-08-09 19:30 - 22:00
Join us for a special TCR Out of Doors presentation of The Light in the Piazza — August 9-25 at Brucemore’s beautiful Peggy Boyle Whitworth Amphitheatre.
Winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Original Score, The Light in the Piazza will sweep you off your feet as it transports you to the summer of 1953 in sun-drenched Florence. Margaret Johnson, an elegant and strong-willed Southern woman, has taken her daughter Clara on a vacation to Italy. A fateful gust of wind blows Clara’s hat right into the hands of a young Italian gentleman, and it’s amore at first sight. But Clara isn’t quite what she appears, and soon they must all confront a secret that’s been kept in the shadows for far too long. With soaring operatic melodies, The Light in the Piazza is a story about mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and the deeply intertwined emotions of love and loss.
“A work of such consummate beauty, truth, energy … you leave the theater filled with joy and revived by hope for the future.” — The New York Observer
“The most intensely romantic score of any musical since West Side Story.” — New York Times
Book by Craig Lucas, music and lyrics by Adam Guettel.
