MOUNT CARROLL, IL -- Timber Lake Playhouse, in collaboration with Timber Lake Resort and Campground, will present an interactive event performance of the Felix and Fingers Dueling Pianos Show at the playhouse on Saturday, May 9th. This nationally renowned show that take requests from the audience and encouraging dancing in your seats, will begin at 7:00 p.m., with cash bar opening at 6:30. Tickets are $20 and are available online and through the TLP box office.
"Ron Swanson–of Timber Lake Resort–came to us with the idea as a way to kick off the summer and celebrate Mothers Day Weekend. Then he reached out to restaurants in Mount Carroll. There are many exciting things happening in downtown Mount Carroll, we also saw this as a way to partner with the town," said TLP Artistic Director, Jim Beaudry.
"We thought it was a great idea, and I immediately thought of Felix and Fingers because I know how much people love them in the Chicago area, and not all dueling pianos acts are as good as they are," Beaudry continued. "So you can imagine my excitement when I found out that was the same group Ron had already reached out to about coming to TLP."
