Local entertainment takes place each Friday at the local theatre. This week's event features local musicians Gary Smallwood and Don Chapman.
Local recording artists Gary Smallwood and Don Chapman are scheduled to perform at the Tally Ho Theatre on Friday, April 13. They are part of this month’s lineup for Friday Night Live, a weekly entertainment event, which kicked off late last year. “When we first took over the theatre back in 2008 we started with our Last Ham Standing Comedy Improv show and we had been doing that on First Friday ever since,” said owner Dave Wright. “Toward the end of last summer we were trying to think of things to do to kind of expand the live entertainment portion," he said.

They were all there to see Last Ham Standing, an improv comedy troupe founded by Tally Ho owner Dave Wright. The games played during the performance are similar to those one sees on the television show, 'Who's Line is it Anyway?', and featured guessing games like "Party Quirks," as well as more physical and character-based games. The one thing that all of the games have in common though, is that they require a lot of audience participation.
