"Rumors" @ The Union Colony Dinner Theatre - Feb 17, 18
 Neil Simon, America's best known multi-award winning playwright, excels in presenting the frustrations and vagaries of life with delicious humor. His comic concoction RUMORS is based on a dinner party where four snazzily-dressed couples gather at the home of Charlie and Myra Brock to celebrate the tenth wedding anniversary of their hosts. But Charlie is lying upstairs with a bullet hole in his ear lobe, and Myra is nowhere to be seen. We are pitched headlong into high-voltage hilarity as the friends try frantically to protect their host (who is deputy mayor of New York), and themselves, by hiding the evening's events from the outside world. For details and Showtimes visit their website HERE
Randy Travis @ UCCC - Feb 18 With record sales over 25 million, 22 number one hits, 6 number one albums, 6 Grammy's, 6 CMA's, 9 ACM's, 10 AMA's, 7 Dove Awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - Randy Travis is not to be missed. Get your tickets HERE

Aside from these diverse elements of seasoning, Stone's been a veteran in the industry, from singing on the Warped Tour to performing on TV and radio.
