Summer Amphitheater Program Series

Beginning June 1, join us every Saturday night in June, July and August at 7 p.m. at the Ottawa Metro Park Amphitheater for a variety of programs ranging from live musical performances, live animals, comedic puppeteer to local historian plus much more. 

On June 1, join us as we turn back time to June 1863 with Mark Twain.  Local historian and Twain relative; Eric Rotsinger, has been portraying Samuel Clemans or Mark Twain since 1997. He brings Mark Twain to life through his humor and animated storytelling. Eric can be found all summer long from western Ohio to Elmira, New York entertaining and educating adults and children. When he puts on the white suit, he truly becomes Mark Twain.
