Pays $7.25 an hour.” Will’s new job at the Boise Hobby Lobby doesn’t provide much in terms of security, but what does these days? Union busting, a busted microwave, and a constantly droning company TV that sometimes cuts to gruesome medical footage (quick warning to our audience!) are the least of his worries. Will was called to this Hobby Lobby for a reason, one that will throw a wrench into the ceaseless grind of his coworkers’ lives. But are his intentions for good or is he here because he’s trying to outrun some darkness? Rebel Alliance Theatre brings another conversation provoking play to their audience at an affordable price.

Experience the Chatham Rabbits at Thrasher Opera House
Green Lake, Wis. (September 23, 2024) – Chatham Rabbits – will perform a 506 Session (cocktail style seating for 80) at Thrasher Opera House in Green Lake, Wisconsin, on Friday, November 15, at 7:30 p.m.
There is something warm and instantly familiar about the beloved roots duo, Chatham Rabbits. Partners in music and life, Chatham Rabbits’ Austin and Sarah McCombie blend their personal histories through deft songwriting and a history that comes from building a life together. Leaning into each other’s strengths, their songs present a congenial, collaborative spirit that has captured the pure adoration of fans along the way and earned them praise from Garden & Gun Magazine, American Songwriter, and No Depression. Their artistry hinges on a fervent desire to connect with others through the music that first brought the pair together. Steeped in the regional traditions of their North Carolina home, Chatham Rabbits’ musical pursuits represent a new age of roots music. Chatham Rabbits recorded and released their beloved debut album, All I Want From You in 2019. This set the standard for their sophomore release The Yoke is Easy, The Burden is Full—the centerpiece song “Oxen” was named “Top Folk Song of 2020” by Paste Magazine. Nurtured by central North Carolina’s fertile, influential music scene, Chatham Rabbits’ sound continues to evolve in their expansive third album, If You See Me Riding By (2022), which was simultaneously released with a television series, On the Road with Chatham Rabbits, on PBS-NC. The McCombies ingenuity during the Covid-19 crisis led to the creation of their mobile concert experience, The Stay at Home Tour, which took the duo to 194 neighborhoods in 2020-21. The pair is currently recording their fourth album of poignant original songs and continuing to foster their tight-knit fan community across the US.
The Chatham Rabbits’ performance is sponsored by Michael & Aileen Ellis, Heidel House, Goose Blind, and Sturgeon Spirits. This event is supported in part by a grant from the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Tickets for The Chatham Rabbit’s performance on November 15 at 7:30 p.m. are $35 and available at www.thrasheroperahouse.com or by calling 920.294.4279 – there are only 80 seats available for this show.
