This week is your FINAL chance to see The Ballad of Weedy Peetstraw at Rosehall Run Vineyards and the feedback from audiences is possibly the best we’ve ever had. Maybe it’s the wine, the tent, the TALENT, the music, but people are LOVING this show!
“Terrific, entertaining show! Very well done. Congratulations!”
“Worth seeing twice! Thanks for a great evening!!!”
“Imagine sitting in a vineyard under a giant tent. You are watching a live performance of a bluegrass opera. The talent is amazing, the script touching and funny. It’s The Ballad of Weedy Peetstraw at Rosehall Run near Wellington. Don’t miss it!”
“Just came from Opening Night at Rosehall Run, I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but you GOTTA
see this production…fabulous. Bravo!”
“Weedy Peetstraw is an outstanding production and a must see!!”
“Bringing friends to tonight’s performance of Weedy Peetstraw – looking forward to this amazing show again as you always see something more the second time around!”
Described as part bluegrass and part opera this witty, darkly comedic retelling of the Faust legend is sure to delight audiences young and old. The Ballad of Weedy Peetstraw, by Peter Anderson and John Millard, tells the story of a young man who sells his soul to the devil to play the banjo.
