Yesterday and Today, The Interactive Beatles Experience

Friday, October 23 - 7:00pm
Presented by: Craterian Performances
Yesterday & Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience

Yesterday and Today is anything but a typical Beatles tribute show. Making no attempt to perform as the Beatles, the amazing band, anchored by brothers Billy, Matthew, and Ryan McGuigan, perform as themselves and leave the song choices completely up to the audience. As a result, every show is different, every show is interactive, and every show proves that the music of The Beatles is truly the soundtrack to our lives. There’s no better way to come together, right now, than to come to Yesterday and Today!

Last Saturday, we celebrated the illustrious career of the Craterian's one-and-only Executive Director, Stephen McCandless, as he prepares to retire after 31 years. It was a magical, memorable evening filled with stories, songs, and fellowship, commemorating Stephen's visionary leadership at the helm of our organization. Thank you to all who joined us that evening to honor Stephen, and to all who made the event possible. It was a night we'll never forget!
