Gather around for story time in the forest! Our opening week will share family-friendly, cooky, spooky fun tales. Come hear songs and stories of monsters and heroes and the spider in the lunch box told by Dan The Bard.
“Grimm’s Grimmest: The Darker Side of Fairytales”
10/29 & 10/30 at 2:30 and 3:45 pm

What happens after Sleeping Beauty is awakened by the Prince’s kiss? “Happily ever after…,” is only relative; and what relatives inhabit these Grimm tales as originally intended for adults! This mayhem is accompanied by music skillfully sung and evocatively played on Renaissance lute, set to 16th-century ballad tunes, complementing 19th-century German stories and transformed through Judith and Dan’s 21st-century interpretations. Lots of lurid interactive fun as you revisit the tales you missed!!

Bring your family, friends, date or just yourself to these FREE movie nights in the park! Movies begin at 6 PM.
October 15 & 16 is Coco
¡Feliz Días de los Muertos! Grab your popcorn, pan dulce, and a cozy blanket for Movies at The Forge. Watch Coco navigate his way back to his family out of the Land of the Dead with his late great-great-grandfather and hopefully reverse their ancestral ban on music.
