America’s Navy is coming to St. Augustine, Florida, one of only twenty cities in six states chosen to host a performance by the United States Navy Band during its 2020 tour — one of the signature outreach programs of the U.S. Navy!
As the original ensemble of the Navy Band, the Concert Band has been performing public concerts and participating in high-profile events for more than 95 years. Joined by the Sea Chanters, the official chorus of America’s Navy and the Cruisers popular music group, the versatility of the ensemble expands to include music ranging from traditional wind band repertoire to Broadway showstoppers, rhythm and blues, pop and patriotic favorites. These elite ensembles combine their world-class talents to create a dynamic musical production sure to delight audiences of all ages.
One of the U.S. Navy Band’s primary responsibilities involves touring the country. All of the band’s primary performing units embark each year on concert tours throughout specified regions of the country, allowing the band to reach out to audiences in areas of the country that do not have opportunities to see the Navy’s premier musical ensembles on a regular basis. The concerts are family-friendly events, meant to be entertaining to veterans, families, individuals and those interested in joining the Navy.
“For many years, Navy bands have been where it matters, when it matters, just like the rest of our Navy. Today, we have Sailors performing around the world, improving relations with our allies abroad as well as telling the Navy story here at home.” –Capt. Kenneth Collins, U.S. Navy Band commanding officer

The Women
2020-03-05 19:30, 2020-03-06 19:30 | 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

The Searle’s Sack encampment will take place on the first Saturday from 10am to 4pm at the Colonial Quarter. The reenactment of the battle between the freebooters and the city’s Spanish defenders will take place in St. Augustine’s historic district at 4:30pm on Saturday. The English brigade will head up St. George Street from the Plaza toward the city gates, and the battle will commence when the English try to invade the Spanish defenders who will be stationed at the Santo Domingo Redoubt off Orange Street across from Potter’s Wax Museum.

At the end of June, 2019, Cultural Center Director Donna Guzzo visited the museum in Malaga, Spain to start discussions with the MIMMA Director, Miguel Angel Piedrola. After the visit to MIMMA, Guzzo requested the collaboration with MIMMA to develop a program that will showcase music-related activities and host the exhibit in the United States at the Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach. The interactive nature of the MIMMA exhibits, with galleries full of musical instruments where the public is encouraged to touch and try, is one of the traits the Cultural Center is looking to replicate during the exhibit in Florida.
“Loving Beethoven ties together the Cultural Center’s mission and the Center’s outreach program Sound Connections® Music Therapy perfectly. We are thrilled to be working with Miguel Angel Piedrola and MIMMA on our first collaborative, international project.”
