Orchids Under the Blue Moon
Orchids Under the Blue Moon
Orchids Under the Blue Moon Meet at the Farm Barn Orientation Center and take in the subtle changes that nightfall brings to Duke Farms during a twilight walk to the Orchid Range. There, we will encounter a wide variety of orchids, many of which are most fragrant at night, and observe the incredible diversity to be found in their structure and ecology. Are their specialized growing conditions and complex pollinator/fungal relationships the reason for the orchids’ reputation as fragile and fickle plants, or is this simply what happens when a species is displaced from its native habitat? This program is appropriate for adults. Please dress for the weather. Participants should be prepared to walk over 2 miles on paved trails. Meet in front of the Farm Barn Orientation Center for check-in. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes before the start of class. We cannot accommodate late arrivals and the class will depart on time. DUKE FARMS PROGRAM GUIDELINES: Please stay home if you are sick. Pre-registration is required, walk-ins will not be accepted. No refunds and no exchanging or transferring tickets. Please note that each participant must be registered. Unless otherwise noted, ALL programs at Duke Farms are RAIN or SHINE.

A Man of No Importance
A Man of No Importance
A Man of No Importance TRILOGY REPERTORY THEATER PRESENTS: A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty, and Terrence McNally’s acclaimed musical A Man of No Importance tells the story of an amateur theater group in 1960s Dublin and their leader, bus driver Alfie Byrne. Determined to stage a production of Oscar Wilde’s Salome despite the objections of local church authorities, Alfie confronts the forces of bigotry and shame over a love “that dare not speak its name.” This evocative and award-winning musical illustrates the redemptive power of theater, love, and friendship, all for a man of seemingly no importance.

A Man of No Importance
A Man of No Importance
A Man of No Importance TRILOGY REPERTORY THEATER PRESENTS: A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty, and Terrence McNally’s acclaimed musical A Man of No Importance tells the story of an amateur theater group in 1960s Dublin and their leader, bus driver Alfie Byrne. Determined to stage a production of Oscar Wilde’s Salome despite the objections of local church authorities, Alfie confronts the forces of bigotry and shame over a love “that dare not speak its name.” This evocative and award-winning musical illustrates the redemptive power of theater, love, and friendship, all for a man of seemingly no importance.

Linda Ronstadt, 11-time Grammy winner who sold over 100 million albums in country, rock, pop, Latin, Motown, and even Broadway music, is no longer performing publicly. Yet millions of her devoted fans still long to hear the beloved songs that made up the soundtrack of their lives. Fortunately, her incredible musical legacy now lives on through the stunning talents of powerhouse vocalist, Gesenia and her 6-piece band, Ronstadt Revue. Every Ronstadt Revue show, performed in painstaking detail in both English and Spanish, spans many of the musical genres of Ms. Ronstadt’s 40+ year career: pop, rock, country, Motown, Great American Songbook standards, and Spanish language hits (sung authentically by Gesenia, who is Latina). Their performance is so authentic that two of Linda Ronstadt’s own band members are currently co-producing and featured on the upcoming Ronstadt Revue album and one of them, John Beland, appears with the band at selected shows across the country. Gesenia and her band will escort you on a deeply personal and sentimental journey through such blockbuster hits as “When Will I Be Loved?”, “You’re No Good”, “Blue
