ARGS THEATRE presents The Flight of the Lawn-Chair Man, a musical one-act play presented by students at the Appomatox Regional Governor’s School, is based on the real events of 1982 when, in a quest for flight, Larry Walters attached 42 weather balloons to his lawn chair, soaring to a height of 16,000 feet. Come on out & support the ARGS students; this is their trial run before they take the play to competition! Performance at 7pm.

Sycamore Rouge will be open 6pm-10pm Friday; both events are free.
