After stepping away from the stage for several years, Kirk John Cumming assembled a powerhouse lineup of veteran musicians to create Wings of Eagles, a tribute dedicated to the timeless catalog of Eagles. Their mission: to revive the band’s signature harmonies, iconic arrangements, and enduring West Coast rock spirit with precision and heart. Fronted by John Kirk Cumming’s commanding vocals and guitar work, the group features Robert Lumpkin and Paul Smith, whose interlocking guitar parts and vocal blends channel the intricate textures of the original lineup. Paul Beach anchors the low end with warm, driving bass lines and vocals, while Bob Davidson brings crisp, dynamic percussion to every track. Completing the ensemble, Ray Nichols adds depth and color through expressive keys, guitar, and vocals. From the atmospheric sweep of "Hotel California" to the easy-rolling energy of "Take It Easy" and the emotional weight of "Desperado," Wings of Eagles delivers a set that resonates with devoted fans and newcomers alike. Love is a Rose, a heartfelt tribute to Linda Ronstadt, joins the show to celebrate her classic hits alongside the Eagles’ legendary repertoire. Experience a night that honors the legacy, artistry, and unmistakable sound of one of rock’s most influential bands. Wings of Eagles is ready to take flight once again—don’t miss it.

Presented over four nights by TERI Players, this stage production invites audiences into a vivid re-imagining of Alice’s descent into Wonderland. The story centers on imaginative young Alice, portrayed by Reese Merrill, whose day-to-day life with her practical sister Lorina (played by Sierra McCarthy) and her eccentric Uncle Lewis Carroll (brought to life by Kyle Ingraham) takes a surreal turn. As Uncle Carroll reads from his fantastical manuscript, Alice drifts into a fevered dream and crosses the threshold into Wonderland. There she chases the frantic White Rabbit, portrayed by Cameron Morning, and encounters an assortment of eccentric denizens: the contemplative Caterpillar (played by Timothy Sangster), the sly Cheshire Cat (performed by Ambier Harvey), the unpredictable Mad Hatter (portrayed by Jake Bowers), and a troupe of dancing flowers. Alice’s surreal journey builds toward a climactic appearance before the volatile Queen of Hearts, embodied by Tessara McAfee, where nonsensical rules, rising stakes, and Wonderland’s signature chaos threaten to overwhelm her. Blending whimsy, eccentricity, and dream logic, this four-night event offers audiences an imaginative, immersive adventure through one of literature’s most iconic fantasy worlds. Doors open at 6 p.m. The Bornemann on Facebook / Instagram
