Thanks for the info! Sounds like a great show! Maybe you'll get to go to the Keswick or Richmond. <img src="http://www.arlo.net/ubb/smilies/smile.gif" width=15 height=15>

thanks for the report, janet! it's kind of sad, though...we were going to try and get to that one, but it just didn't work out. sounds like we missed a great one..

I was browsing the posts and came across yours, was interested to see another Calvin
Theatre. I am connected with The Calvin Theatre in Washington Mo. Sarah Lee is coming to play here this Sat. Feb. 16. We are very excited as we are an old opera house in the midst of renovation. Hoping the concert generates a lot of interest for the theatre. Would like any info you have on your Calvin!
Thanks

On Saturday, November 10, it's folk (and counter-culture) icon
Arlo Guthrie. We love Arlo (and who doesn't?). When the Iron
Horse re-opened under the ownership of IHEG in 1995, it was Arlo
Guthrie who came to perform the first two landmark shows for us
from the still intimate confines of the Iron Horse stage. And now it is
our great pleasure to present our great friend in the plush - and
spacious - expanse of the Calvin Theatre.
