SHROOM SHOW - September 9 - October 2

Shroom Show.jpg

Once again, TLC Farm will be the stage for an original play that travels throughout the land bringing the audience with it (some of you may remember The Book of Pagan LaLaLa or the 24 hour play festival from years back).  We are so happy to host Fuse Theater for Fuse’s latest original work anchored in the ecology of Fungi; the mysterious, adorable, disgusting, and often terror-laden kingdom that’s been trending in humans lately. Learn more about the show, the ensemble and ticket information. 

​From Fuse's description of the play: "Last Spring, we took our collective medicine: we restarted our training where 2020 brought us – outdoors – and dove into research on fungi, both biological and physical, through our various training modalities. Part variety show, part educational guided tour, part treasure hunt, part opera, part forest-hike, part day-trip, part hero's journey, SHROOM SHOW is the organic and highly nutritious product of months of experimentation and collaboration between a small, evolving cast and a vibrant, ever-expanding production team."

Join us on Sunday May 15th from 10-5 for one of our favorite annual farm chores: mucking out the goat barn!

You get to hang out with our awesome goats and their really cute babies while cleaning out the old bedding straw in the barn. Yes! it is smelly. And yes! we make it really fun. Projects include loosening the bedding straw, pitching it into wheelbarrow (with a pitchfork!), and wheeling barrow loads of bedding into the muck pile.

Dress for the weather - snacks provided. Come for an hour or the whole day, meet us at the barn at the end of the driveway.
