Filled with exuberant dance numbers and hits from the American songbook, it is adapted from the MGM/Warner Bros. film.\xa0 Forget your troubles—come on, get happy! The tradition of turning a barn into a theater finds fertile new ground in a joyous world premiere inspired by the classic Judy Garland-Gene Kelly movie. When theatrical Gloria invites fellow troupers to the family farm with the idea of putting on a show, her practical sister Jane is stubborn as a mule but relents because the farm needs work—and workers. Sisterhood, budding romance and a Broadway-bound musical are all at risk. But there’s nothing like the sunshine of hits from the American songbook to chase all your cares away! Summer Stock runs now through August 27th, 2023. Also playing is <strong>“Here You Come Again”</strong> with the hits of Dolly Parton at the Terris Theater in Chester now through August 27^th.\xa0 Tickets for both shows are available through the Box Office (860.873.8668), open weekdays at 10:00am, or online at <a href="http://www.goodspeed.org/">www.goodspeed.org</a>', '_version': 2, 'componentVariation': 'paragraph'}, 'original_ref': 'www.audacy.com/_components/paragraph/instances/clktuco1y002r357eaids4889@published'}, {'data': {'text': 'The Adventure Park at Storrs, the area’s best zipline and climbing adventure experience, is open for the season and hosts “Glow in the Park,” featuring a different themes from Top 40 and Movie Themes, to 70s, 80s, 90s and more.\xa0 Glow in the Park will be held Saturday nights through the spring, with additional dates planned for the summer schedule.
