The Arts Council 2011-2012 Series

Hollywood Logan and "The Legendary Drifters" are set to rock the house on Saturday, August 20, 2011 at 7:00pm. The Warm-up band will feature Julius Genius and his group.

Coming in November, "Mark Twain At Large", staring Ron Jewell. A full-length one-man theatrical tour de force that seemingly channels the seventy-plus year old Samuel Clemens, so real you'll believe that you've actually spent the evening with the real McCoy.

In February, independent theater stage actor and playwright, Cedric Liqueur will perform his solo performance on the life of "Leroy 'Satchel' Paige: Long Rifle", an African-American athlete and one of the greatest baseball pitchers of all time.

The professional touring musical “Honky Tonk Angels” presented by Springer Theatricals will be a March 1, 2012, event for us. In Ted Swindley’s raucous and touching hit musical, three attractive and talented young women make their way to Nashville determined to “make it.” Hear the classic tunes of Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn as they were meant to be sung.

The Arts Council will have another special Children’s Program in April. "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", a Bits'N Pieces Puppet Musical will be offered as a Series evening event and in multiple daytime school showings. 

More programs are under consideration for the 2011-2012 season
