Marlene Dietrich is quoted as saying, “It’s the friends you can call at 4 a.m. that matter.” Becca, Tammy, and Kim are those kinds of lifelong 4 a.m. Friends with humor and heart and the ties that bind. A myriad of iconic moments, people, and fashion from the 1970s to the present propel these friends as they laugh, fight, argue, support, and love through some of life’s most challenging hurdles -- growing from their teens to their sixties. You know, just like you might do with your own 4 a.m. Friends.

4a.m. Friends runs from Saturday, April 18th through Tuesday, April 21st at the ESPloft (16 East Patrick Street, Frederick, MD, 21701) and Thursday, April 23rd through Tuesday, April 28th at Sky Stage (59 South Carroll Street, Frederick, MD, 21701).

Harnessing these extraordinary bandstand experiences – Fuller leads the New York City-based Larry Fuller Trio. He presents a musical program consistently praised for its emotive swinging style, monster technique, and program versatility.

Based on the beloved Newbery Medal- and National Book Award-winning novel—and the hit 2003 film starring Shia LaBeouf, Sigourney Weaver, and Jon Voight—this theatrical adaptation is a thrilling ride for audiences of all ages. When teenager Stanley Yelnats is hit by a pair of falling sneakers, his unlucky family curse strikes again. Wrongly convicted of stealing the sneakers and sent to the mysterious Camp Green Lake, Stanley joins a ragtag group of boys digging endless holes under the blistering sun—all in the name of building character. But as the layers of dirt pile up, so do the secrets buried beneath them. Part mystery, part adventure, and packed with heart, Holes is a wildly imaginative tale about friendship, fate, and the courage it takes to rewrite your story. Holes is “a fast-paced and inventive family show that works on every level” (The Stage).
