Now in its second year, the Three Oaks Theater Festival brings works from Chicago’s performing arts community to locales in Michigan’s Harbor Country, with events from July 5 through the first weekend in August (all times are Eastern).
Northlight Theatre’s Woody Sez: The Life and Music of Woody Guthrie follows the hardscrabble life of the famed folksinger (Fri 7/18, 8 PM; Sat 7/19, 4 and 8 PM, $30-$35). Performed by a cast of four playing 15 instruments, the musical is “entertaining enough” but tends to “soft-pedal Guthrie’s political views,” according to Reader contributor Jack Helbig.
Sat 7/5-Sat 8/2: locations vary, see website 866-811-4111threeoaksfestival.com $15-$50
