Grab your popcorn, some Junior Mints and a supersized soda and let’s go to the movies together Sunday, October 11th at 8pm for the premiere of our newest Farmers Alley Theatre @ Home offering LIGHTS, CAMERA, MUSICAL! where we deep dive into a beloved movie musical and discuss its transition from stage to screen.

Hosted by Rob Weiner, our first episode we will be discussing the Mean Green Mother From Outer Space and everything Skid Row as we look at the film LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS from 1986, starring Rick Moranis & Ellen Greene. Rob will have cast members from our 2015 production of Little Shop – Harrison Bryan and Jeremy Koch along with Adam Weiner to discuss the movie’s alternate ending, if Steve Martin should’ve been nominated for an Oscar and so much more!

Curiosity leads to creation! Check out this imaginative episode of The Koch Korner which aired on Thursday October 8th at 8pm EST, on Facebook & YouTube Live.

Our Artistic Director, Jeremy Koch, chatted with three innovative and gifted people from the Farmers Alley production of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime”:  J. Scott Lapp, Chelsea Lapp and Troy Hussmann.

They talked about working on that magical show, the importance of staying creative, and the benefits of being connected to others. It was inspiring, educational, entertaining and enlightening!

Please join us Thursday, August 27th at 8pm EST, on Facebook & YouTube Live for a crucial episode of “The Koch Korner.”  Our Artistic Director, Jeremy Koch, is “passing the microphone” to Dwight Trice - one of Farmers Alley’s favorite artists. Dwight will lead an insightful and intelligent panel and engage in an open and honest dialogue about the Black Lives Matter movement as a whole, and discuss some of the systemic injustices against Black communities that have brought us to this ‘powder keg’ that is 2020. You will not want to miss this vital discussion.
