Runners will also flow through the lush forest of Kessler Mountain, surrounded by granite slabs, vibrant moss, and breathtaking views of the Ozarks. 
When you’re not out there cruising through the course, you’ll kick it with your team as you camp under billions of stars at Ragnar Village.

Rest your legs next to the campfire, chow down on s’mores, and relax with your team. Come early for a bonus day of camping, campfires, and fun!

The Depart of Theatre presents The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

04/18/2025 7:30 pm

The Depart of Theatre presents The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Book by Rachel Shenkin. Music and Lyrics by William Finn. Conceived by Rebecca Feldman.

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing "ding" of the bell that signals a mistake. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful, heartwarming, fast-paced crowd pleaser! Directed by Morgan Hicks.

In the Grove of Forgetting

04/18/2025 7:30 pm

Summer, 1938. Ilona, a concert pianist known for her sharp wit as much as her musical passion, refuses to be ruled by fear, even as fellow Jewish artists and academics flee Hungary. Surely Budapest is safe from the growing Nazi fervor - isn't it? Filled with intrigue, music, and wry humor, this world premiere is a taut emotional thriller, as a woman caught in one of history's darkest moments fights to find a way forward.
