The Return of Crazy Chase

300 people came. Allen was remarkable - you must see the show! We’re doing two more shows due to demand: January 2, and January 3 - watch here for specifics, but the price will be the same, and Saturday’s will likely be at 7, Sunday’s show at 3…. mark your calendars….

Allen Church presents The Return of Crazy Chase. Allen’s performance celebrates the life, times and music of Alfred “Crazy” Chase, a gifted and eccentric fiddler who lived in Middlesex and Morrisville in the early 20th century. We are holding two different shows. The first show, on Friday November 13 starts at 7pm. The second showing is a matinee on Sunday, November 15th at 3pm. Admission to both shows is by suggested donation of $5-$10. The performance will be in Foley Hall, upstairs at the River Arts building. The Return of Crazy Chase is co sponsored by River Arts and the Morristown Historical Society. For questions and further information on the show please call River Arts at 888-1261 or email us at info@riverartsvt.org
