KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. — The Ross Ragland Theater has released a busy May calendar featuring five separate events ranging from live music and ballet to children’s entertainment and a summer camp fundraiser.
The month begins on Sunday, May 3 at 2:00 p.m. with the Klamath Chorale: 250! Happy Birthday America! concert, a nonpolitical celebration of America’s upcoming 250th birthday featuring patriotic music, Broadway favorites, folk, gospel, jazz, country, and rock selections. The volunteer choral group has performed in the basin for more than four decades.
Next up is the Be Like Blippi Tour on Wednesday, May 6 at 7:00 p.m., bringing the popular children’s character to the Ragland stage. Organizers say the interactive family show will include music, dancing, and fan-favorite songs such as “The Excavator Song,” “Monster Truck,” and “Dino Dance.”
