Boots ’N Beats was created to bring people together across genres – Country fans, EDM fans, and everyone in between. It’s about connecting two worlds, creating singalongs and dance floors that cross boundaries of age, gender, and background. The concert series highlights our favorite parts of live entertainment, live elements with dance music, and it has exploded this year.
Join us to “Do Something Beautiful” by assisting in maintaining the native landscape, including the shoreline buffer, living shoreline, green roof, and rain gardens at the Elizabeth River Project’s Ryan Resilience Lab. Volunteers with interest in sustainable landscaping practices encouraged as we build our cadre of conservation landscaping volunteers at the Lab.
All supplies will be provided (including gloves). Dress to be working outdoors, bring your reusable water bottle and preferred work gloves (if you have them).

In a small town in Newfoundland, an ordinary morning becomes extraordinary when the world suddenly changes. On September 11th, 2001, thirty-eight planes carrying nearly 7,000 passengers are diverted to the tiny town of Gander. As cultures collide and uncertainty fills the air, strangers open their homes, their kitchens, and their hearts.
This acclaimed Broadway hit tells the remarkable true story of kindness in the face of crisis. With a soaring score and an ensemble cast playing dozens of characters, Come From Away celebrates the generosity that can appear when we need it most. And reminds us how deeply connected we really are.

Thanksgiving, 1973. In a small apartment somewhere in America, two recent immigrants meet for the first time. Luna from the Philippines and Jane from South Korea have never experienced an American Thanksgiving before, and tonight neither of them wants to spend it alone.
What begins as an awkward visit becomes an evening of laughter, shared memories, and unexpected friendship. As they swap stories about home, marriage, and what it means to start over in a new country, this warm and funny play captures the quiet courage of building a life far from where you began.
