Richie Havens in Concert
Richie Havens is gifted with one of the most recognizable voices in popular music. His fiery, poignant, always soulful singing style has remained unique and ageless since he first emerged from the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960's. It's a voice that has inspired and electrified audiences from the Woodstock Music & Arts Fair in 1969, to the Clinton Presidential Inauguration in 1993 - coming full circle with the 30th Woodstock Anniversary celebration, "A Day In The Garden", in 1999.

OMTF presents "The Fantasticks"
Talk about a time-proven audience-pleaser! The Fantasticks is the longest-running musical in the world, and with good reason: at the heart of its breathtaking poetry and subtle theatrical sophistication is a purity and simplicity that transcends cultural barriers. The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time. The Fantasticks promises to steal your heart and kick off our season with unbridled joy. “The perfect musical….It’s a gem.” —The Wall Street Journal
OMTF presents "The Last Five Years"
Rhiannon Kruse and Jeff Coleron star in this emotionally powerful and intimate contemporary musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years. The show’s unconventional structure consists of Cathy telling her story backwards while Jamie tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show. The Last Five Years is made up mostly of solo turns, with beautiful music and alternately humorous and heartfelt lyrics. Jason Robert Brown won Drama Desk Awards for the music and the lyrics after the show premiered in 2002 . The show has since been produced at almost every major regional theater in the US, and has been seen in Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Germany, Italy, Canada, England and Spain.
Contains adult themes.
NOTE: The Swanson Amphitheater is an open grassy area in the center of our beautiful campus with the potential to seat thousands. UCC will provide 500 chairs directly in front of the stage for guest choosing to pay for a seat. The event is otherwise free to guests who prefer to sit in the blanket sections of the amphitheater.
