Join us for Crow’s Fest, a delightful summer of Theatre!

Experience enchanting evenings of drama, comedy, dance, and music with shows like Locker Room Talk, The Failure of the Century, Starpoint City, Bent Improv, Queen City Improv, and The Dionysus Dancers’ A Celebration of the Divine Feminine. We will also have a panel conversation with several local directors. Enjoy the magic of summer with us!

Crow’s Fest aims to bridge the media gap created by easily accessible entertainment like Netflix and Hulu. Our goal is to create moving moments of interaction, engagement, and play by bringing audiences together and connecting memories to experiences.

It’s an oasis for the mind, body, and soul to beat the summer heat as we explore the answers to fulfillment, purpose, and meaning.

All shows are in the Carsen Theater at the Dairy Arts Center, and are Name Your Price events where you pay what you choose by donation.
