Dance, Broadway & Beatles
Written By: Mary Adair Trumbly - Highlands PAC | Issue: 2017/08 - August
The Highlands Performing Arts Center will present a variety of concerts in September.
Saturday, September 16, brings Taylor 2 back to Highlands. Taylor 2 is part of the Paul Taylor American Modern Dance company from New York City. Paul Taylor (in his 90’s) was a dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company. He was invited by George Balanchine to be a guest artist with the New York City Ballet, and he continues to create dances that seek to be reflective of the times.
In addition to the concert, the Dance Master of Taylor 2 will conduct a Master Class for the dance students of our area. Taylor 2 is presented by Sandy Cohn and Ruth Gershon, Ruth and Tom Claiborne, Geri and Wade Coleman, and Cathy and Michael Crosby.
Saturday, September 23, 8:00 P.M. is Broadway Night at PAC. The Doo Wop Project starring singers and dancers from the Broadway hits “Memphis,” “Motown – the Musical” and “Jersey Boys.” The Doo Wop Project begins at the beginning, tracing the evolution of Doo Wop from the classic sound of five guys singing tight harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today. The Doo Wop Project is presented by Geri and Wade Coleman, Nancy and Lyle Nichols, Nancy and John Ludwig, and Fran and Bill Matthews.
Saturday, September 30, 8:00 P.M. welcomes back the Billy McGuigan Band with “Yesterday & Today: The Interactive Beatles Experience.” The band knows every song The Beatles ever wrote, the way it was written. This concert is all Audience Request! When they were here in 2015 the concert was sold out and we got several obscure song requests…the band did not disappoint. Every song was sung, the way the Beatles sang it. Presented by Jane Webb and David LaCagnina, and Amy and Cecil Conlee.
Tickets are available at highlandspac.org or by calling (828) 526-9047 Highlands Performing Arts Center, is located at 507 Chestnut Street.
