As You Like It

Our first Summer Shakespeare Residency was a great success and proof of concept as a handful of actors lived at Colerain for a week, rehearsing and devising the play.
Sweetgum Band
Come out to historic Colerain Forges Mansion on Aug. 23 for bluegrass from Sweetgum Band! 🎶 Based locally, the trio of Gwen Stimely (banjo and vocals), Steve "Buck" Buckalew (guitar, fiddle and vocals), and Bill Stetz (bass) are known for their harmony-driven original tunes. All proceeds from the outdoor show will support the historical preservation of the mansion. Bring lawn chairs or blankets, snacks if you want, and enjoy a relaxing summer afternoon of sweet music!
