Now for something
completely different: The Yard Dogs Road Show rolls
into the WOW Hall on Tuesday. The Yard Dogs combine ancient
theatrical alchemy with modern pop culture for a unique
touring show that features sword swallowers, fire eaters,
burlesque, hobo poetry and sideshow oddities. What began
as a three-piece jug band crammed into a Ford Galaxy 500
has grown to a 13-person troupe with a fleet of vans and
admirers across the country. "The Yard Dogs offer much
more than entertainment. They peddle adventure and wild
abandon," the SF Weekly said last year. See Tuesday
Calendar.
The
good folks of Free Shakespeare in the Park present
their second play of the summer, The Comedy of Errors,
Saturdays and Sundays through Aug. 28. The organization,
now in its seventh year, casts local teens, youth and
adults in their always-free, always-outdoor productions
in Amazon Community Park. The Story Lady gives a kid-oriented
synopsis of the play an hour before the show each night,
making each evening a truly family-friendly outing.
See Saturday Calendar.
Aaaaaand it's Lane County Fair
time again. Candy corn, hot dogs, carnival games, rides
that turn you upside down and shake you all around,
farm animals and musical guests. Oh yeah, and no parking
anywhere nearby. The musical entertainment portion of
the Fair kicks off Tuesday night with "Multi Platinum
Super rockers" (hey, we just quote the press releases,
we don't write them) Hoobastank(pictured), whose
hit song "The Reason" is inescapable to the point that
even NPR-listening, MTV-lacking folks like us kind of
know the chorus. The following nights feature John
Michael Montgomery and Diamond Rio. Two local
music stages feature appearances by Debra Arlyn, The
Vipers with Deb Cleveland, Riffle and many others. On
a different note, 36 Oregon authors are scheduled to
make appearances at the Fair's Oregon Authors Table,
including Carol Ann Bassett, William Sullivan and Register-Guard
columnist Bob Welch. For a full schedule, see page 35.
The Lane County Fair runs Aug. 16-21. See Tuesday Calendar.
