The Occidental Arts & Ecology Center presents Teresa Tudury and Friends as part of its Annual Chautauqua Series. Poignant, funny, and lyrical, Teresa’s joy is rivaled only by her mastery of the song. The concert is presented on the outdoor stage of OAEC’s North Garden Theater. A space that feels like home, the Theater is a work of art that is as much a part of the show as any of the acts.
Tickets: $15 advanced purchase/ $18 day of show
