Herberger Theater Center

With his handmade silk suits, wide array of hats, and tiny gold pocket watch, Edward Tulane is the most exceptional toy in Abilene's room—and he knows it. Selfish and self-centered, Edward cares only for himself, unaware of the love surrounding him. But when he is accidentally thrown overboard during an ocean voyage, his world changes forever.
 
Based on Newbery-winning author Kate DiCamillo's beloved novel, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane The Musical brings this breathtaking story to life with beautiful new songs and dynamic storytelling. As Edward's journey takes him from the ocean floor to a fisherman's shack, from a hobo camp to a hospital room, he meets a series of strangers who show him the transformative power of kindness, compassion, and love. Through joy and heartache, Edward learns that even a heart of porcelain can break—and be made whole again.
 
Tickets for The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane The Musical will be on sale later this month!

Fountain Park

Which should we talk about first? The awesome movie, the fact that we are back at Fountain Park, or the parade of American cars!? There's so much to cover! Let's start where we always should, then, with Nicholas Cage. 
 
That's right, we are bringing Nicholas Cage to a 40ft movie screen near you, Fountain Park to be exact. Join us for the most unique movie-watching experience you can get, with the tallest fountain in the US serving as your backdrop. We will be showing National Treasure in honor of our Nation's 250th birthday. The movie will start a little after sunset, sometime between 7:10 and 7:40 pm. Start time will be dictated by light levels. 
 
As if that wasn't enough, there will also be a jaw-dropping parade of uniquely American cars starting at 5:30pm. The parade will start at Phil's Filling Station, travel up Parkview, over to Palisades, down around the park, up and back down the Avenue of the Fountains, and then park on Saguaro for a great 'Merican Car Show. Brought to you by the FH Auto Club. 
 
The Daughters of the American Revolution, dressed in period costumes, will lead the parade on horses. Cars will be lined up red, white, and blue, and are going to fly the flag and display other patriotic items. 
 
Be sure to join us for what will be an absolutely fantastic evening of classic good times.
