BILLIFER AND THE FEARLESS PALS SEPTEMBER 19th at 7:30
THEATRE OF MEMORY

Billifer and the Fearless Pals return to the Theatre of Memory on September 19 on a madcap ride between the ridiculous and the sublime. This time we are pleased to be joined by bassist Ron McGlone. We are most curious to see how this serious musician and teacher will react to being part of such a boffo enterprise. Jennifer Johnson, Jen Downey, and Dan Tampas, and Bill Hutchinson invite you to join them for music and fun in air-conditioned comfort. Seating is limited but tickets are available at theatreofmemory.org under EVENTS.

NERD NIGHT MANUSCRIPTS OF THE MYSTERIOUS EAST
SEPTEMBER 30th, 7:30 at the THEATRE OF MEMORY

The East is still mysterious, but thanks to Google Translate the manuscripts are no longer mysterious, merely exotic. Come and be amazed that there are scripts even more beautiful than Times New Roman. And whereas the manuscripts of the West were largely accomplished by quills on parchment, these came from reed pens and brushes on various papers – papyrus, mulberry, silk, rice, etc. This one’s a sensory feast as well. Admission is free but seating is limited to 12 Please let us know with an RSVP at theatreofmemory.org under EVENTS so that we may save a chair for you at the table.

TED MCVAY SATURDAY SEP 5th 7:30 THEATRE OF MEMORY

I’m hoping that Ted will sing at least a few of my favorites from this great CD! After a career of teaching Medieval and Renaissance Spanish poetry, Ted is no stranger to narrative styles. I suspect that’s why each song he writes and performs is a perfect, sometimes quirky, little gem lasting but a few short minutes. It’s some pretty wonderful stuff and we love his concerts! Join us for an intimate performance filled with fun and magic. Seating is limited but tickets are available at theatreofmemory.org under EVENTS.

HIGH BRIDGE REURNS! THEATRE OF MEMORY August 29th 7:30

If there is a super group of songwriters in Gainesville I think my vote would go to High Bridge. You've seen and heard the members for years in different groups and configurations and now they come together as one. Fagan Arouh, Michael Beasley, Alan Hill, and Dan Tampas. They're talented, creative, and fun to be with. Tickets are available at theatreofmemory.org under EVENTS and seating is limited. They’ll probably sell out and there will be NO tickets at the door, so tell your friends - they’ll go fast.

SHANA SMITH”S “FLORIDA WILD WOMAN” CONCERT
AUGUST 1st at 7:30 at the THEATRE OF NEMORY

Shana Smith is an author, a teacher and a singer/songwriter, but more importantly, a seeker. I’ve known her for years and loved her positive energy ever since we worked together in the children’s Super Saturday Series presented by Gainesville’s Department of Cultural Affairs. And though I am still allowed to, I’ve practically stopped calling her Shana Banana. I am thrilled that she will be bringing her “Wild Florida Woman” concert to the Theatre of Memory on August 1st at 7:30. What’s more, she’ll be playing with Raihan Alam, a world music percussionist and didgeridoo player. Tickets are available at theatreofmemory.org under EVENTS and seating is limited.

CHARLIE ROBERTSON JULY 18th 7:30
at the THEATRE OF MEMORY

There are still a few tickets left! Charlie Robertson is revered in the Florida folk community as a true and timeless artist. I mean, this guy is the real thing. Added to his considerable pedigree, his chord structures and guitar voicings are way beyond the ordinary and they support some very clever lyrics. He’s a gem. Rough cut. Here’s your chance to see him in the air-conditioned comfort of a small listening room. It’s a rare opportunity to catch his show in an intimate setting. For tickets go to theatreofmemory.org and click EVENTS. Seating is limited, so don’t miss out. I promise that you won’t be disappointed. And remember that each ticket purchased helps to keep our non-profit open and full of fun.
