The Dogwood Center Summer Youth Theater will present the classic story, A Little Princess on Friday, July 25 and Saturday, July 26 at 7:30 p.m.!
A Little Princess is a 1905 children’s classic written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. In this tale, Sara Crewe is sent to live at an upscale boarding school run by Miss Minchin, a greedy and domineering head mistress. Sara’s wealthy father, Captain Crewe, leaves instructions that his daughter is to be given a private room with a parlor and a maid. Some of Sara’s fellow classmates are envious of Sara’s fortune and make fun of her by referring to her as “Princess Sara”. On her birthday, Sara receives news that her father has died, all of this fortune has been lost, and that she has been left a pauper. With her school bills unpaid, Miss Minchin makes Sara a servant, making her wear rags and live in the attic. Hungry, cold, and overworked, Sara finds that she is left only with her imagination to comfort her. However, Sara’s luck changes one day when she looks out her attic window and sees that a new family has moved into the house across the street.

Free admission, donations accepted at the door to help support the programs of the Dogwood Center. 7:30 p.m.
July 11 – Lucas Wilson and the Bad Disciples – 7:30 p.m.
Lucas Wilson’s blood is sound. His veins are guitar strings and his heart is a kick drum. Beating. Steady. Sound.
For over a decade, Wilson has ground out a life on stage, growing and evolving into one of Michigan’s proudest roots-based rockers. His former and widely celebrated project, Sweet Japonic, won three WYCE Jammie Awards for Best Rock Album – first in 2005 for the monster LP Through the Eyes of Lucie Blue, then again in 2006 for Two O’clock Sirens, and yet again in 2009 for Where My Devils Go. The band’s live energy and hooking, pop-funk vibe caught the eyes and ears of Coca-Cola and Paste Magazine who named them one of 40 international up-and-coming bands and featured them as a part of their For the Love of Music campaign.
After stepping out on his own in 2010, Wilson’s debut solo album, a seven song self-titled, earned four 2013 Jammie nominations, winning the Special Jury Prize for Best New Artist. In it, Lucas is laid bare before all. The project chronicles Wilson’s artistic coming of age, from the Japonic split, through fear, addiction, and self-doubt, past the pain to very new and euphoric Lucas Wilson – a man found on his own creation. It’s emotive and evocative, hopeful and heart breaking, with genuine searing realness. As comfortable on stage at Rothbury as he is in the corner of a hole-in-the-wall bar with a stool and an acoustic guitar, Lucas has always been quiet and unassuming, giving others the latitude to draw their own conclusions. He welcomes comparisons, such as Ray Lamontagne (everyone), Joe Cocker (baby boomers), Sam Cooke (soul seekers), and John Mayer (millennium kids).
Lucas Wilson spent 2013 promoting this debut solo release while wrapping up a second studio album already under production. Always. Beating. Steady. Sound.
