Town and Country Players
(Carousel): Wednesday, June 30 • Chapman Park • 7:00 PM
Carousel, the tragic
romantic tale of charismatic Billy Bigelow, the carousel
barker, and Julie Jordan, the naive factory girl, has
touched the hearts of audiences for over sixty years.
Both Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, said that
Carousel was their favorite collaboration. Featuring
such beloved tunes as “If I Loved You” and “You’ll Never
Walk Alone”, Carousel was named Time magazine’s “Best
Musical of the 20th Century” and is often considered
Rodgers & Hammerstein’s finest musical score. |

Blackthorn: Wednesday, July 7 • Central Park • 7:00 PM
The East Coast’s
Premiere Irish Band presents a fabulous mix of
traditional Irish pub songs, dances and contemporary
Irish music with a rockin’ beat. “Steady meat-and-spuds
rock” for the young and young at heart! Blackthorn is
bigger today than they have ever been. Their music
continues to evolve and the community that they started
in small bars around the Philly area in the 90s
continues to grow. Blackthorn is not just a band, it’s
an institution. There may be five super talented
musicians on the stage but they speak with one voice -
Maybe that’s the magic. Join us for a wee bit of Ireland
right here in Doylestown. |

The Bronx Wanderers: Wednesday, July 21 • Central Park •
7:00 PM
...And the crowd
goes wild as the group’s sound crescendos, punctuating
the finest; the brightest energetic bond between
audience and performer. You’ll be dancing in the aisles,
applauding and tapping to the ever present beat of
“memory gold”. As the saying goes, “when you’re hot,
you’re hot!” This statement surely holds true for one
New York five-some, that breathes a special heat with
song-filled memories from an era of the past from
Doo-Wop, Dion, The Jersey Boys and even a little Motown. |
