Musical Direction by Karen Heather

When Broadway Producer/Director, Jerry Hardwick, suffers a stress-related heart attack, his well-meaning family convinces him to give up show business and retire to sleepy, low-key, Whidbey Island. Everything looks like it’s going to plan when the theater bug bites Jerry again, and instead of moving into the cushy retirement community his kids have all set up, he buys a tumble-down community theater and goes back into production mode. Romance, greedy heirs, lost wills, theatre, art, a ghost, and quantum mechanics all converge in this musical commentary on not exiting stage right just because someone else has decided it’s your cue.

Special guests, including Elsa & Anna, Santa Claus, the Grinch, and even Krampus will be making appearances—each bringing their own brand of holiday cheer (and mischief!). Families are encouraged to bring cameras for photos and join in the fun.
This year’s market features a wide variety of local vendors filling the Turner and the Coffman Building, offering handcrafted gifts, artisan foods, holiday décor, and unique treasures perfect for gift-giving. Visitors can warm up with seasonal treats, connect with friends and neighbors, and enjoy live music and entertainment throughout the day. Food trucks attending are AB’s Hilly Gyros, Sons of Neptune Espresso, and Linda’s Mini Donuts.
“This event truly captures the spirit of our island—community, creativity, and celebration,” said David Stern, Event Coordinator at the Fairgrounds. “It’s a wonderful way to support local makers while enjoying the magic of the holidays.”

Welcome to Musical Improv at the Black Box! Each performance of the entirely made up, improvised Broadway musical style show, is in reality A Premiere of a never-before-seen musical, that YOU the audience help create with your amazing suggestions. Each night we will ask the audience for a suggestion to help us create the title of a musical that doesn’t yet exist. Past audiences have helped to create shows like “It Moved to Outer Space” or “Good Things Happening to Bad People.” We can’t wait to see what you think of next! Join us for an evening of fun, fun, fun as we make up the characters, the plot, the singing, the dancing – everything is completely improvised and will never be seen again! How fun is that!

ALABASTER
by Audrey Cefaly
Directed by Gail Liston
​This all-female, darkly comic Southern drama offers a profound exploration of art’s elusive nature. ​In the aftermath of a catastrophic tornado that reduces a town to ruin, only a reclusive artist, June, and her devoted companion, Weezy, remain to bear witness. When a renowned photographer arrives to capture the indelible marks of June’s ordeal, together, they navigate the delicate interplay of grief and healing, finding in each other not only a mirror for their own pain but also a muse for artistic rebirth.

The Island Betties, Brittany Ford & Rhianna Olson, established the “Race on The Rock” Barrel Racing Series in 2025 after recognizing the need for a group dedicated to barrel racing on Whidbey Island. Our goal is to provide a supportive, fun environment with safe ground conditions where barrel racing is accessible to riders of all ages, riding disciplines, and skill-levels. We are committed to making this an annual series where we continue to grow together (Think more added money, better awards, more races, food trucks!). We encourage those who are new to the sport come join us for one or all of our races (and please, bring your friends!). Spectators are encouraged to come enjoy the races as well!

Our races are NWBHA District 1 co-sanctioned, giving NWBHA members the opportunity to qualify for NWBHA State Finals and earn District 1 points without leaving the island!

WHAT THE CONSTITUTION
MEANS TO ME

by Heidi Schreck
Directed by K. Sandy O’Brien

Playwright Heidi Schreck’s boundary-breaking play breathes new life into the U.S. Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans. Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful and achingly human play, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives. What the Constitution Means to Me received a nomination for Best Play in the 73rd Tony Awards and was a finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
