The Children’s Wednesday Series starts on July 5 with Deertrees’ favorite, Rick Charette. Blending contemporary pop music with original lyrics, America’s most delightful and inspiring children’s musician captures the heart and spirit with his songs and imaginative fun-filled audience activities.
On Wednesday, July 12, Jackson Gillman, “the Standup Chameleon” takes the stage at Deertrees. Songs, dance, and mime are incorporated into an interactive performance that takes audiences of all ages for a rollicking ride into a wild imaginative world of creative adventure.
