SHOW SYNOPSIS
ALADDIN
Adapted by Michael McGill
Music and Lyrics by Michael McGill
For Aladdin it’s not easy to find a magic lamp but it’s even harder to get a date! It’s a swirling sandstorm of famous Arabian Tales from Ali Baba to Scheherazade, and even Sinbad the Sailor, as Aladdin journeys to find a magic lamp in a Cave of (not-so-great) Wonders. Along his way Aladdin seeks answers and advice from wise Genies, a powerful Sultan, and his own Mother to find a way to meet the Princess. However, even with the lamp in hand, Aladdin will have to learn that it takes more than a wish to make a good impression. Full of memorable characters, from lost Penguins to talking Palm Trees, this is an adventure worthy of 1,001 laughs.

THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM follows John and Molly Chester as they trade their tiny Los Angeles apartment for 200 acres of barren farmland, determined to build a fully sustainable, biodiverse farm in complete harmony with nature.
Through dogged perseverance and embracing the opportunity provided by nature’s conflicts, the Chesters unlock and uncover a biodiverse design for living that exists far beyond their farm, its seasons, and our wildest imagination. The film captures their near decade-long journey, planting thousands of trees and crops and welcoming animals of every kind, as they discover that true sustainability comes not from controlling nature, but from working alongside it. This is where the dream of regenerative farming comes to life.

Roots So Deep You Can See The Devil Down There - Documentary
2026-06-22 19:00 - 21:00
ROOTS SO DEEP is the cinematic portrayal of one of the most hopeful and transformative movements in modern agriculture.
The film tells the story of inventive cattle farmers and maverick scientists who are reimagining how we work with the land, tracing their journey from conventional practices rooted in generations of tradition to a revolutionary approach that mimics the way bison once roamed the plains. Highlighting both the human stories on both sides of the fence and the groundbreaking research measuring soil health, carbon drawdown, biodiversity, and farmer prosperity, the series gives audiences a front-row seat to the potential of adaptive, regenerative grazing as never before. This is where the solution begins.

FACT Presents: Too Old For The Chorus, But Not Too Old To Be A Star
2026-06-14 15:00 - 17:00, 2026-06-13 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-06-12 19:00 - 21:00
Fairfield Area Community Theatre (FACT) proudly presents Too Old For The Chorus, But Not Too Old To Be A Star. The setting is modern day located in a local retro coffee shop. This is a funny musical revue about men and women who find themselves suddenly 50 or pushing it (and past!). The characters express – in 18 musical numbers – the gamut of their frustrations and joys, from troublesome relations with still-demanding parents and cutting-edge technology to finding delight in second careers (and second chances), getting smarter, and finally knowing that “age is just a number.”
Too Old For The Chorus, But Not Too Old To Be A Star, is presented through special arrangement with Samuel French, INC.

Film Screening - Seeds of Sovereignty
2026-06-07 14:30 - 16:00, 2026-06-06 19:00 - 20:30
The Pax Natura Foundation presents Seeds of Sovereignty, a film by Stuart J. Tanner.
After a successful international festival run with over 70 official selections, 24 awards, and screenings in more than 30 countries, the film is coming to Fairfield for two special community screenings at the Fairfield Arts & Convention Center.
Screenings will take place on Saturday, June 6 at 7:00 PM and Sunday, June 7 at 2:30 PM. Both screenings will be followed by a Q&A and community discussion.
Mexico stands at a crossroads, fighting to protect its native seeds, lands, and people from the encroachment of genetically modified crops and toxic agrochemicals. Seeds of Sovereignty was born from urgency, a response to a battle that is both deeply local and undeniably global. More than a film about agriculture, it is about identity, resistance, and the right to shape our future. Through legal victories, grassroots movements, and striking visuals, the documentary asks what happens when profit is placed above human and environmental health. The goal of the film is not only to inform, but to immerse audiences in this struggle and inspire action. The fight to protect native maize in Mexico reflects a broader global question about food sovereignty, biodiversity, and the future of farming itself.
More than a film, Seeds of Sovereignty is an invitation to reflect on our relationship to food, land, culture, and the future we are collectively creating.
Free showing. Donations accepted.

Garrison Keillor Tonight
2026-05-01 19:30 - 21:00
Garrison Keillor Tonight is an evening of stand-up, storytelling, audience song, and poetry. One man, one microphone. There are sung sonnets, limericks and musical jokes, and the thread that runs through it is the beauty of growing old. Despite the inconvenience, old age brings the contentment of LESS IS MORE. Your mistakes and big ambitions are behind you, nothing left to prove, and small things give you great pleasure because that’s what’s left. (“I was unhappy in college because it was a requirement for an intellectual, but then I went into show business and discovered that people won’t pay to be made unhappy, their kids will do it for free.”)
There is the News from Lake Wobegon, a town booming with new entrepreneurs, makers of artisanal firewood and gourmet meatloaf, breeders of composting worms, and dogs trained to do childcare. But some things endure, such as the formation of the Living Flag on Main Street, citizens in tight formation wearing red, white or blue caps, and Mr. Keillor among them, standing close to old neighbors, Myrtle Krebsback (“Truckstop”) and Julie Christensen (“Bruno The Fishing Dog”) and Clint Bunsen. And an acapella sing-along with the audience singing from memory an odd medley of patriotic songs, pop standards, hymns, and ending with the national anthem.
