Invigorated by a shared affection for their new attractive neighbor, two grumpy old neighbors face-off as romantic rivals in this hilarious musical. Based on the 1993 popular film, the stage adaptation of Grumpy Old Men perfectly captures the lovably crotchety characters through twinkling humor, great songs, and the affectionate depiction of a small town that feels like home. Don't miss the fun!

We are kicking off Banned Books Week with a Read-In on Sunday, October 5 from Noon-3pm. We've teamed up with Libro.fm and Silent Book Club in protest of censorship. Join us as we read and take action to fight book bans!
It is a Packers bye week so we can relax and read banned books. Bring your favorite banned book, buy one or download the free audiobook to read. We'll have 30 minute silent reading sessions starting at noon, 1pm and 2pm. Then we can chat about banned books, and create some art that expresses the importance of the freedom to read that we can display in the store. I'll have some coloring sheets in case you don't feel creative.

Meet author Ann Schreiber; she'll have books for sale and signing.

The Books

Emily is a writer, a mother, and a woman who knows heartbreak. Still healing from her divorce, she's spent the past few years quietly rebuilding her life.

Lucas is a dedicated father and architect who's grown used to solitude after his own marriage ended. His love for his daughter, Lily, remains the anchor that keeps him steady.

When a dating app brings them together, sparks fly--but falling in love later in life comes with its own set of complications. Between careers, kids, and past pain, learning to blend their worlds takes more than chemistry.

Told through alternating perspectives--and love letters written but not always shared--Emily's Next Chapter is a tender story about second chances, the quiet work of rebuilding, and the unexpected joy of finding love when you least expect it.

For anyone who's ever wondered if it's too late to start over--this story is for you.
