The Women
2020-03-05 19:30, 2020-03-06 19:30, 2020-03-07 19:30, 2020-03-08 14:30 - 17:00 | Lewis Auditorium at Flagler College, 14 Granada St, St. Augustine, FL, 32080, United States
‘The Women’ tells a story of struggle and strength for International Women’s Day
St. Augustine, Fla. – The Flagler College Department of Visual and Performing Arts will
present Clare Boothe Luce’s “The Women” with performances starting March 4 in Flagler
College’s Lewis Auditorium.
Set in the 1930s, the play tells the story of Mary Haines, a New York City socialite, who discovers
her husband is having an affair. Mary must decide whether to feign ignorance and save her
marriage or divorce her husband and allow her rival to replace her.
True to its name, “The Women” is an entirely female cast. Although the script calls for 35
speaking parts, the Theatre Arts department was able to cast 20 students, with some playing as
many as four different parts. The play can be a challenge to produce, due to its large cast and
many locations, but Program Director for Theatre Arts, Paul Denayer, designed a set to
accommodate the scope of the play.
“The issues these women face are timeless,” said Elaina Wahl-Temple, resident artist and
director of the show. “The script is full of strong women facing difficult challenges and rising to
meet them.”
Presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, “The Women” will run March 4-
7 at 7:30 p.m. and March 8 at 2 p.m. All performances take place in the Lewis Auditorium at 14
Granada Street.
“It is wonderful timing that our run coincides with International Women’s Day,” said Wahl Temple. “A fitting tribute to the ladies of the play as well as the playwright herself.”
Tickets are $15 for general admission and may be purchased online at tickets.flagler.edu or at
the Lewis Auditorium box office. Flagler faculty, staff, students and their immediate family
members may obtain one free ticket directly from the box office. Non-Flagler students may
purchase a discounted $5 ticket with their identification. During hours of operation, the box
office can be reached at 904-826-8600

Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes
2020-03-10 20:00 | Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, 1050 A1A North, Ponte Vedra, 32082
Southside Johnny’s story is one of resilience, perseverance and making music for the love of music. It leaves you with a strong feeling of respect. Even though his friends Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi achieved more fame, Southside Johnny’s unmatched dedication will be remembered forever. The singer-songwriter and the front man of Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes is known for influencing what critics call the “New Jersey sound,” but if you ask him about it as I did, he would tell you that this sound does not exist. He believes every musician has his or her unique sound.
Emerging from the New Jersey Shore music scene of the mid-1970’s, co-founded by Steven Van Zandt (later of the E Street Band and The Sopranos), the Jukes’ classic R&B sound, driven by soulful guitar and blistering horns, propelled hits like “I Don’t Want to Go Home,” “Having a Party,” “The Fever,” and “Talk to Me” up the charts. Rolling Stone Magazine voted Hearts of Stone one of the Top 100 albums of the 1970s and 1980s.
Presented in partnership with Florida Theatre.

Lenten Concert Series
2020-03-11 12:30 | Memorial Presbyterian Church, 32 Sevilla Street, St. Augustine, FL, 32084, United States
A Lenten Organ Concert Series is offered at Memorial Presbyterian each year during the Wednesdays of Lent at 12:30pm. Guest recitalists come from across the community, the country, and the world to play Memorial’s 155-rank, over five thousand pipe, Aeolian-Skinner organ. Admission is free. Donations are appreciated.
In 1969, Reverend Dr. David Redding and organist Everett Eubanks approached two long-term members of the congregation about funding a new pipe organ for the congregation. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Johnson, closely tied to the Mellon family of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, provided the money necessary for the project. The church selected the Aeolian-Skinner Pipe Organ Company of Boston, Massachusetts, to install the new pipe organ. The new organ contained 90 ranks and over 5,000 pipes including the chimes from the old Roosevelt-Estey organ. In 1971, the organ expanded with two additional divisions: the Bombarde division above the organ in the casework and the Antiphonal division in the north balcony. The Aeolian-Skinner organ at Memorial Church represents one of the “American Classic Organs” produced by the company during this period. In 2000, R.A. Colby, Inc. of Johnson City, Tennessee, rebuilt the organ console adding new MIDI technology to the organ allowing the organ to be played remotely in six locations throughout the sanctuary.
