Gather the family for a special evening of music and storytelling at the third annual Cowboy Family Night, presented by Raising the Curtain Foundation.

Hear campfire stories from award-winning cowboy poet, storyteller, and festival favorite Joe Herrington. Enjoy original Western tunes that transport you to the prairie from singer-songwriter Joni Harms, and experience the realities of working a ranch through the music of Doug Figgs. His music ranges from hard-driving Western songs with a touch of Southern rock to beautiful ballads. The evening is filled with Western lore, stories of the highs and lows of running a ranch, reflections on the magic of twilight on the horizon, and wholesome, family-friendly entertainment. The night concludes with the ever-popular singalong and fun for the whole family.

You won’t want to miss this night of jangling spurs, cowboy comedy, beautiful ballads, and tales from prairie campfires.

Ticket: $10 adults, $5 age 12 and under. Click “Learn More” for ticket purchases.

All proceeds benefit Raising the Curtain Foundation, which supports the Newhall Family Theatre for the Performing Arts.

Beyond the Curtain: A Theatre Exploration Experience is a hands-on, high-energy workshop that gives students an inspiring window into the craft of theatre. Participants rotate through interactive stations led by working artists and technicians, exploring the tools, teamwork, and creativity that bring every performance to life. Students will rotate through six interactive stations, each led by a theatre artist or technician. Station themes include: Blocking/Locations in a Theater; Directing; Sound Design; Lighting Design; Costuming; Set Design.

Whether your student dreams of the spotlight or loves building, designing, tinkering, and problem-solving behind the scenes, this experience is designed to spark confidence, curiosity, and a sense of belonging in the arts.

Registration to participate is FREE but space is limited. Click “Learn More” to register your student.

This activity is supported in part by the California Arts Council, a state agency. Learn more at arts.ca.gov
