Wayside Grange & Theatre 2024 Variety Show
DEXTER — Once in every orbit around the sun, Wayside Grange & Theatre presents its infamous variety show. This year we will be celebrating it on Saturday, July 20 with a light supper starting at 5:30 p.m., theatre doors opening at 6:30 p.m., and 7 p.m. variety show.
Among the acts featured will be Timberdoodle, Some Reel People, the Penquis Ukelele Players, and cellist Ruth Fogg, and possible surprise appearances. These are all local musicians and they are all very good.
This year we also feature the return of Bill Egerd, Wayside’s hard luck every man, who will be confronted with a new 21st century problem: dealing with artificial intelligence. Come and enjoy the show.
From now through October, Wayside Grange & Theatre will be entertaining the area with a wide variety of music. Many of the musical groups stemming from the area and others traveling a great distance.
