The annual Theatre in the Arboretum event is set for 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday in the meadow at Lake Wilderness Arboretum near the gazebo with audience members encouraged to bring donations to benefit the Maple Valley Food Bank.

Performances of “Cowboys and Idiots” by Wade Bradford, an epic Western comedy filled with adventure, romance and … tumbleweeds. The play about two harebrained cowboys out for revenge after being abandoned and left for dead in the middle of the desert is directed by Tahoma High School senior Rachel Dimmig, as her senior class project.

“Last year’s play was my favorite event,” said Debbie Fuchs, the Arboretum’s Secretary. “The kids did such an awesome job with their performances and it was just so wonderful to be able to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Arboretum while watching an incredible production.”

Admission and parking is free, and each attendee is asked to donate one can of food to benefit the Maple Valley Food Bank. Please bring your own chair or blanket to sit on.

“Also, consider donating to the Arboretum for hosting this enjoyable event,” said Executive Director Amy Hardebeck.
