Event Details
Max’s Barbershop is more than a place for a cut—it’s where stories are shared, friendly bets are placed, dreams take shape, and brotherhood runs deep.
In Glenn Alan’s compelling comedic drama, the atmosphere shifts when one of the town’s most beloved women passes away. Whispers begin to circulate about her estranged son, Choice, who has fled the law and returned to town.
It's soon clear that joy isn't the only thing being protected within the walls; there are secrets. And what starts as gossip quickly turns into a high-stakes bet: Who is Choice’s father… and what will happen when the truth comes out?

Ecologist and author Doug Tallamy says insects are “the little things that run the world.”
While society tells us that bugs and insects are creepy crawly things to smoosh and avoid, these tiny creatures are the reason we have food to eat. Insects keep our world humming, so it’s vital to protect them and help them thrive.
Bring the family along for an evening retreat where we’ll explore outside and meet some of these backyard bugs — like fireflies, butterflies, and other beneficial insects — in a safe way. We’ll start out with a scavenger hunt and then play a bug-themed BINGO game with some buggy swag as prizes. By the end of the evening, you’ll have a newfound love of these tiny creatures and some ideas about how to help them keep doing their very important jobs.

She has volunteered at rehabilitation and research centers focusing on raptors, worked as an instructor at Ireland's School of Falconry, worked in abatement –falconry pest control– on a garbage dump in New Jersey, hunted with the Kazakh berkutchi golden eagle hunters of Mongolia, and has hunted with red-tails in the United States since becoming a licensed falconer in 2011.
