Visual Arts Center

"Caesar's Palace" at Visual Arts Center
We thoroughly enjoyed performing for the Visual Arts Center in Punta Gorda last Saturday.  It was the final event in a month-long celebration of their 50th anniversary.  The theme of the gala party was "Big Italian Wedding Reception." and a gala it was!  Our show was presented in "Caesar's Palace", which was their Goff Gallery magically transformed into a really cool show room.  There was dancing on the patio to the music of Sammy J., and an actual "wedding" in the other gallery where a couple renewed their vows.  Kudos to the entire gang at VAC for a great evening.


Funny, I don't remember them being at the Last Supper !?
 The member artists at the Visual Arts Center are amazing.  Various artists' work is always on display, and you know the old saying, "I don't know art, but I know what I like!"  Well, that's me.  And there was a lot to like.  (The gift shop is full of wonderful and unique items created by members too, incuding jewelry, novelty items and fun stuff.) 

The artists' theme this month was 'Leo vs. Mike' and several member artists re-created the works of Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci, including a HUGE wall-size reproduction of "The Last Supper".

You should visit there.  Click this link and find out more.

So next up...Holiday Shows at Visani Dinner Theater and Lemon Bay Playhouse in December.

Foxfire

Foxfire Country Club, Naples, FL


We're on the road again, but this time a bit closer to home (Florida that is.)  Last Saturday we  performed our show at Foxfire Country Club in Naples, FL,  and before that (on Wednesday, the 3rd) we did TWO shows at our favorite dinner theater, Visani, in Port Charlotte.  We were pleased to welcome the "Sun City Center Travel Club", a group of 55 on-the-move members, to our matinee show on Wednesday, as well as many old and new friends for our evening show as well.

This Saturday (Nov. 13) we will perform two shows at the Visual Arts Center in Punta Gorda.  This fabulous visual arts gallery and studio is celebrating its 50th Anniversary, and this Saturday's gala fundraiser party (called the "Big Italian Wedding Reception") is the culmination of a month-long schedule of special events.  Click the Visual Arts link above to find out more.

Looking forward to a great season here in the Sunny South.  
More "hysterical historical" photos coming soon.
We'll keep you posted!
