Saturday, November 7th, at 7:30 pm, the First Street Community Center’s Uptown Theatre is proud to host:

“The Goatsinger Show: Led Astray“.

The Iowa Goatsinger has been spotted recently in Mount Vernon and appears to be setting up a fresh show to entice and beguile and lead you, thoughtful yet dancing, down the garden path.

A playful show mixing music, sketches, and monologues, and closing with a full-house singalong, The Goatsinger Show has been a seasonal staple in Mount Vernon for the past five years, showcasing writers, songwriters, and performers from throughout the Corridor.

Led Astray will feature performances by Mount Vernon local talent:

  • Marty Christensen
  • Josh Woosley
  • Casey O’Connor
  • Mike Moran
  • Anton Rood

Also featuring performances from these talented Cedar Rapids performers:

  • Sam Butz
  • Nicci Miles

The Goatsinger Show: Led Astray will run approximately 75 minutes.  Five dollars at the door.
