Professional theater troupe Mad River Theater Works, based in rural Ohio, creates evocative original musical plays with a rich sense of place. The troupe’s productions, many of which are based on American history and folklore, have earned a reputation as authentic presentations that reflect the rich diversity of the country’s common heritage. At DCA, the company will present “Freedom Riders,” which tells the story of the black and white Americans who defied segregation in 1961, traveling together on buses that crossed state lines in order to protest the bus segregation practices that were still commonplace in so many parts of the United States.

Since Justin Spencer formed Recycled Percussion in 1995—to perform in a high school talent show in New Hampshire—the four-man band has become a national phenomenon. They call their music “junk rock,” and they create it by turning ladders, buckets, trash cans, car parts, vacuums, and power tools into percussion instruments. Recycled Percussion first gained national attention after appearances in “USA Today” and on “America’s Got Talent.” In addition to playing thousands of shows in over 15 countries, this unlikely quartet has also made guest appearances on “Carson Daly,” “The Today Show,” “China’s Got Talent,” and the Latin Grammy Awards.

An annual concert event now in its fifth year, Play It Forward brings together some of Door County’s best-loved musicians for an evening of seasonal music that is both festive and reflective. Inspired by the life and legacy of Bo Johnson, a young Sister Bay resident who died in 2012, “Play It Forward” does just what its name suggests: participating musicians donate their time, and proceeds from the evening go to benefit a worthy cause—this year, hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico. Play it Forward is an evening that celebrates the best of Door County: community, generosity, and good music.
