Nick Offerman at College Street Music Hall

Actor, humorist, and master woodworker Nick Offerman comes to College Street Music Hall with Lee Buchanan for an evening of conversation, woodworking, and family-friendly fun. This event celebrates their new book, Little Woodchucks, an illustrated woodworking guide filled with projects designed to engage the whole family and inspire young craftsmen to discover the joy of building with their hands.

The evening features candid conversation, hands-on woodworking demonstrations, singing, laughter, and wood-centered fun. Offerman and Buchanan share their experiences and tips for DIY enthusiasts while highlighting twelve brand-new woodworking projects suitable for all ages, from simple beginner crafts like handmade kites to more challenging builds such as a little free library.

Nick Offerman, known for his Emmy-winning performance as Bill in The Last of Us and as Ron Swanson in Parks and Recreation, is also a New York Times bestselling author and seasoned craftsman. Lee Buchanan, a longtime designer and builder, brings her expertise and creative spirit to this entertaining and educational show.

The event takes place on Friday, October 17, 2025. Doors open at 6 pm, and the show begins at 7 pm at College Street Music Hall in New Haven. This is a fully reserved seated event on both the floor and balcony.
