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.

🎄 Langley’s Holly Jolly Parade & Holiday Market Return December 6th!
A festive collaboration brings cheer, crafts, and community to South Whidbey
LANGLEY, WA — The Whidbey Island Fairgrounds, Langley Chamber of Commerce, Whidbey Island Fair, and City of Langley are joining forces once again to bring holiday magic to the community at the annual Holly Jolly Parade and Holiday Market on Saturday, December 6th, 2025.
The celebration begins in downtown Langley with the Holly Jolly Parade, a beloved island tradition that fills the streets with floats, local groups, musicians, and plenty of holiday spirit. Following the parade, the festivities continue at the Whidbey Island Fairgrounds & Events Center, where the Langley Holiday Market will be in full swing.
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.”
The Holly Jolly Parade and Langley Holiday Market are free and open to the public. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early for parking and to explore downtown Langley’s decorated shops and cafés before heading to the Fairgrounds.

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!
