A monthly, outdoor variety performance produced by Bluffton, SC artist Amos Hummell with family and friends. Begun in May 2006, the show's stage is itself a colorful work of art, fabricated mostly from scrap material and found or donated objects. The venue features music by local high school bands, short one-act plays or monologues, and video shorts called YOUVIES (see above). It is a free, independent cottage theater, an open community venue for the arts of creative expression.
