Synopsis of this year’s production:

The School for Spies

By Katie Colletta and Jason Sifford

It’s a brand new year at the School for Spies, an elite training program for spy recruits, run by the Global Intelligence Agency. But when the powerful Moon Cube goes missing under the GIA’s watch, the School is thrown into turmoil. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to join a world of secret agents and espionage to crack the case. Choose your allies wisely and keep your ears and eyes open… all is not as it seems at The School for Spies!

Designed for students at all levels of theater experience, campers will audition, rehearse, and perform a musical alongside three professional teaching artists...in one week! The School for Spies is a heart-warming one-hour production with a script by Katie Colletta and music by Jason Sifford.

Simply Seger show coming to WCC

The Warren Cultural Center in Greenfield presents “Simply Seger,” the ultimate Bob Seger tribute experience, 7 p.m. Saturday, July 26.

Filling the role of Bob Seger is former Greenfield resident Tim Gazaway, who was once lead singer/guitarist for the group Barney Fife.

For half a decade, the nine Simply Seger artists have been on a mission to keep the heartland rock legend’s music alive in all its glory. Simply Seger isn’t just a tribute band; it’s a musical time machine that transports you to the unforgettable era of classic rock and roll.

With precision and passion, Simply Seger recreates the soulful raspy voice, the driving rhythms and the lyrical storytelling that made Bob Seger a rock icon. From “Night Moves” to “Turn the Page,” every note and nuance is delivered with the same heart and soul that made Seger’s music resonate with generations.

The energy is electric, the atmosphere nostalgic and the music timeless. Add this band of established players with Tim Gazaway’s look and vocals, as well as the band’s iconic stage presence, and you will realize Simply Seger’s attention to detail is unmatched.

As they mark their five-year milestone, Simply Seger promises an unforgettable concert experience celebrating the legacy of a rock legend through Simply Seger’s authentic renditions. With every riff and every lyric, you’ll understand why they’ve become the ultimate tribute to this musical legend.
