SUMMARY:Monthly Stockade Social Hour
DESCRIPTION:Every Monday afternoon from 3-4:30PM we will be hosting a social hour in collaboration with The Stockade Association. \nOne of the most common threads in all the memories of Arthur’s is that this shop served as a community hub — a place where friends and neighbors could meet and friendships could be made. In an effort to uphold that longstanding tradition\, we are launching this new one. \nThe Stockade Social Hour is open to everyone whether you live in The Stockade or simply wish you did! We will periodically make Stockade-related literature and photos available to peruse. We’d also strongly encourage neighbors to bring and share and photos or artifacts you’ve found in your homes. \nPlus\, we will be offering 10% off coffee and baked goods\, so come on by end enjoy!

SUMMARY:Opera Saratoga Stone Soup
DESCRIPTION:STONE SOUP pairs composer Joe Illick and librettist Mark Campbell for an operatic retelling of the classic European folk tale. Their reimagining will transport audiences to Blessing\, Texas for a rocking-chair view of the comings and goings at Max’s General store. From the opera’s opening notes representing a young girl’s stomach rumblings\, through the whimsically collaborative creation of the title meal\, to its uplifting ending\, Stone Soup imparts a timeless message: we all have something to contribute and sharing makes things better for everyone. \nSTONE SOUP was commissioned by Fort Worth Opera by arrangement with The Barbara Hogenson Agency\, Inc. STONE SOUP is 35 minutes long and sung in English. \nRecommended for Grades K-6
