ROCHELLE — The Vince Carney Community Theater will be hosting its first performance at its permanent location on Saturday, Oct. 24. MooNiE will be performing on Oct. 24 at 3 p.m.

Anyone who has ever attended the Renaissance Fair in Bristol may recognize him as the silent one of the “MooNiE and BrooN” comedy team. When they are not on stage together, they perform solo, entertaining audiences all over the area with a unique style of humor and daring stunts.

Due to COVID restrictions, the performance will be held in the meadow (the old baseball field next to the Lincoln Arts Center, formerly known as Lincoln Elementary School). Ticket-holders are urged to come early and get lunch in the parking lot from Ralfie’s BBQ.

Bring your own chair(s), wear warm clothes and bring a blanket. Tickets are $15 each and can be purchased on the VCCT website at www.vcctrochelle.org or at the event.
