War Dogs: K9 Military Heroes
Jan 30 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Upcountry History Museum

September 20, 2025 – February 1, 2026

“I want to pay tribute to the soldiers who served with great sacrifice by creating the sculptural allegory of wounded warrior dogs who were the soldier’s best friend and companion in battle.”
– artist, James Mellick

Since the American Revolutionary War, military working dogs have served with all branches of the United States Armed Forces. First used as pack animals, working dogs have expanded their military roles to include scouting, policing, detection, and combat. U.S. military dogs officially began serving in WWII, following the formation of the Dogs for Defense, Inc. coalition. Today, hundreds of dogs serve with U.S. military forces around the globe assisting with dangerous missions on today’s modern battlefields.

The Upcountry History Museum will spotlight and honor the important role of these four-legged warriors when it hosts War Dogs: K9 Military Heroes. The exhibition combines life-size sculptures designed by Ohio master craftsman James Mellick with combat art and objects on loan from the collections of the National Museum of the Marine Corps, the United States Coast Guard, and the Naval History & Heritage Command.

The project features eight Wounded Warrior and two Canine War Dog sculptures, bringing attention to the history, service and heroism of military working dogs. The collection represents Doberman Pinchers, German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers and Belgian Malinois who served in WWII, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan military campaigns.

One of the sculptures honors Lucca, a Marine Corps war dog. Lucca conducted more than 400 missions during two deployments to Iraq and one to Afghanistan. One of those missions cost Lucca her leg and severe burns but there were no human casualties under her watch. When she retired, Lucca’s handler adopted her.

Twenty pieces of art paint a more complete picture of dogs at work, detailing the most menacing war dogs to goggled high-flying dogs to sleeping warriors and keen detectives. Artifacts include items used by war dogs and their handlers. Dog uniforms, medical kits and Purple Hearts share poignant stories of perseverance and bravery. Military working dogs have served and protected countless lives in war, this inspiring exhibition tells their amazing story.

Tuesday – Saturday: 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Sunday:  1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Heros of the Fourth Turning
Jan 31 all-day
The Warehouse Theatre

It’s nearing midnight in Wyoming, where four young conservatives have gathered at a backyard after-party two days before the 2017 eclipse and a week after the Charlottesville riot. They’ve returned home to toast their mentor Gina, newly inducted as president of a tiny Catholic college. As their reunion spirals into spiritual chaos and clashing generational politics, it becomes less a celebration and more a vicious fight to be understood. Will Arbery’s haunting play offers grace and disarming clarity, speaking to the heart of a country at war with itself.

WHY SEE THIS SHOW: 

A Pulitzer Prize finalist, this play is an open and honest dialogue about the restlessness of the heart, how generations define their politics and beliefs, and how in order to understand others we can’t immediately judge them. It’s another unicorn play, a play that has things to say to both sides of the political spectrum.

This is the kind of play that The Warehouse NEEDS to do. It takes a group of people not normally seen in a sympathetic light in theater and treats them with dignity and respect. A masterclass in contemporary storytelling, this is a play that will not be forgotten long after seeing it.

THE OUTSIDERS
Jan 31 all-day
Peace Center

The winner of four 2024 Tony Awards®, including Best Musical, is THE OUTSIDERS.

This classic coming-of-age story takes you to Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1967, where Ponyboy Curtis, his best friend Johnny Cade, and their family of Greaser “outsiders” dream about who they want to become in a world that will never accept them.

THE OUTSIDERS features Danya Taymor’s Tony Award® winning direction that’s “refreshing, gritty, and endlessly effective” (The New York Times). With “high-octane choreography” (New York Magazine), THE OUTSIDERS has been described as “more pulse-pounding than anything else on Broadway!” (Time Out New York).

Hell’s Kitchen
Feb 10 all-day

Ali is a 17-year-old girl full of fire—searching for freedom, passion, and her place in the world. How she finds them is a New York City coming-of-age story you’ve never felt before—HELL’S KITCHEN, a new musical from 17-time Grammy® Award winner Alicia Keys.

Rebellious and stifled by an overprotective single mother, Ali is lost until she meets her mentor: a neighbor who opens her heart and mind to the power of the piano.
