The goal of every HAPPENSTANCE performance is to get the audience involved in the show and makes sure everyone leaves with a smile on their face and a song in their heart.

THE BOOMERS

"Every day is a good day to play some music and do some singing. It's even better if you do it with friends and get other people to sing along."
