<\/div>\n
\"\"Chester County will be the home this weekend to many outdoor summer events, including four very different outdoor and outdoor\/indoor events.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There is a traditional summer carnival with rides and cotton candy, an open-air theater production, an event that combines an indoor museum visit with an outdoor concert and a down-home country fair complete with livestock.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
From July 23-26, Brandywiners, Ltd. (brandywiners.org<\/a>) are moving into their summer home at Longwood Gardens (Route 1, Kennett Square, www.longwoodgardens.org<\/a>) where they will perform a four-show run of \u201cSomething Rotten.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Under the guidance of top-notch directors — Stage Director\u00a0S. Lee Lewis and Music Director Betsy Conner — \u201cSomething Rotten\u201d is an outrageous, crowd-pleasing musical farce.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Two brothers set out to write the world\u2019s first musical in this hilarious mash-up of 16th-century Shakespeare and 21st-century Broadway.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Created by Grammy Award-winning songwriter Wayne Kirkpatrick, and screenwriters Karey Kirkpatrick and John O\u2019Farrell, \u201cSomething Rotten\u201d garnered 10 Tony nominations. It was lauded by audience and critics alike as \u201cthe funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Nick and Nigel Bottom, two struggling playwrights in Renaissance London, need a hit. As the brothers and their acting troupe rehearse their latest work, \u201cRichard II,\u201d the Bottoms\u2019 patron, Lady Clapham, arrives to announce that William Shakespeare has also written a new play. The title:\u201d\u00a0Richard II.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Clapham issues an ultimatum: if the Bottom brothers don\u2019t deliver her a hit play \u201con the morrow,\u201d their working relationship will come to an end.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When Nick\u2019s wife, Bea, is forced to find work, Nick takes their meager savings to Soothsayer Alley.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There he finds Thomas Nostradamus, nephew of the famous soothsayer, who gazes into the future and foresees a new entertainment phenomenon: \u201cThe Musical,\u201d a play where actors suddenly burst into song.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Nick has his million-pound idea. The Bottom brothers begin work on a musical about the Black Death, but when Shakespeare gets wind of their idea, he steals Nigel\u2019s notebook.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Desperate for revenge, Nick pays Thomas for one more prediction — the name and plot of the greatest play Shakespeare will ever write. Thomas answers, \u201cOmelette,\u201d setting the stage for the Bottom brothers\u2019 own masterpiece \u2013 \u201cOmelette, The Musical.\u201d<\/div>\n
For Brandywiners Ltd., there\u2019s no place like home \u2013 as long as home is Longwood Gardens.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Every summer,\u00a0the\u00a0company presents a large-scale musical production at Longwood Gardens and contributes\u00a0the\u00a0proceeds to cultural, educational and civic causes throughout\u00a0the\u00a0Delaware Valley.<\/div>\n

The band swings hard through a repertoire that spans 1922-1945, including a handful of original tunes made specifically for the dance floor.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Over the course of the last eight years, Parlour Noir has become one of Philadelphia’s premier swing bands.<\/div>\n
