The Women
2020-03-06 19:30, 2020-03-07 19:30, 2020-03-08 14:30 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | 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

Searle’s Sack and Encampment
2020-03-07 10:00 - 17:00 | Colonial Quarter, 33 St. George St, St. Augustine, FL, 32084, United States
Searle’s Raid is an annual event that recreates the famous bloody pirate raid on St. Augustine in 1668, takes place on the first Friday and Saturday of March. Join the Historic Florida Militia in the reenactment of the “1668 Sack of St. Augustine” in our nations’ oldest city. During the day, a 17th century-style military encampment will be open to the public at the Colonial Quarter and will play host to military drills, demonstrations, and living history interpretation. The actual sacking and burning of the town will commence Saturday evening at 4:30pm. The specific route may vary.
The procession that commemorates the arrival of the raiding pirates and introduces this annual event will begin at the Colonial Quarter at 4:30pm and will proceed north on St. George Street to the Santo Domingo Redoubt on Orange Street. 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. Living history gets real when living historians demonstrate how the Spanish settlers had to fight off Searle and his pirates.
Events in the historic district are free.

In 2020, the world will celebrate Ludwig van Beethoven’s 250th birthday anniversary. The Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach, in partnership with MIMMA (Interactive Music Museum in Malaga, Spain) is paying tribute to this milestone thanks to the traveling musical installation Loving Beethoven. The interactive music installation will be at the Cultural Center from March 6, 2020 to May 26, 2020.
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.”
– Executive Director Donna Guzzo

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.

Eric Johnson “Classics: Present and Past”
2020-03-12 19:30 | Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, 1050 A1A North, Ponte Vedra, 32082
Eric Johnson has been traveling on a prolific odyssey over the course of more than four decades. Along the way, his creations have encompassed repertoire that cross pollinate genres which include rock, blues, jazz, fusion, soul, folk, new-age, classical and even country. Inevitably E.J. says it best himself in sharing. “It really boils down to the music and the song at the end of the day,” he explains. “If it doesn’t have that it gets boring for me. The most important thing for me is to grow musically and make a more expansive and meaningful artistic statement with every new project.”
As another decade turns, the guitarist, vocalist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist will release a new studio offering titled EJ Vol II. This album follows its predecessor from 2016 which was simply EJ, an all-acoustic collection of songs which showcased nine original compositions and four covers. His approach was deeply honest, intimate, personal and delivered with organic emotion. The touring which followed presented the rare opportunity for fans to enjoy the artist’s performances on both guitar and piano. With EJ Vol II, Johnson presents new repertoire that combines electric and acoustic arrangements. Additional detail on the upcoming album release will follow later this year.
Among Johnson’s many accolades are a Grammy award for “Cliffs Of Dover ” (a track from his Platinum certified Ah Via Musicom), lifetime induction into the Guitar Player Gallery of Greats, his listing among the “100 Greatest Guitarists of the 20th Century” by Musician. In his hometown of Austin TX, a city full of guitarists the readers of the Austin Chronicle have voted Johnson the city’s “Best Electric Guitarist” and “Best Acoustic Guitarist” in their yearly poll year after year. They also named him “Electric Guitarist of the Decade” and one of the top five “Musicians of the Decade”.
Throughout his career, Johnson has approached music as a healing force, a way to enhance a listener’s consciousness and conjure joy and inspiration. “That’s what I’ve always appreciated most about other artists,” he says. “Some artists inspire us to wake up and get back to the clarity of consciousness. With this record, I’m trying to do that too, because I appreciate it so much in other people.”

The Weight Band – featuring members of The Band and the Levon Helm Band
2020-03-13 20:00 | Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, 1050 A1A North, Ponte Vedra, 32082
Performing their current album, World Gone Mad, as well as classic songs of The Band, The Weight Band is led by Jim Weider, a 15-year former member of The Band and Levon Helm Band. The Weight Band originated in 2013 inside the famed Woodstock barn of Levon Helm. Weider was inspired by Helm to carry on the musical legacy of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group.
Years of touring have seen The Weight Band revive “The Woodstock Sound,” keeping the spirit of Americana/Roots Rock alive for audiences of all ages. They continue to keep the sound vibrant by releasing new music, evidenced by the album World Gone Mad (February 2018.) Their live set features Weight Band songs from the new album as well as fan favorites from The Band’s treasured catalog, including “Up On Cripple Creek,” “The Weight,” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.”
The Weight Band includes Brian Mitchell (The Levon Helm Band), Michael Bram (Jason Mraz), Matt Zeiner (Dickey Betts Band), and Albert Rogers (The Jim Weider Band). With a US and international tour schedule slated for 2019 and beyond, The Weight Band complements The Band’s timeless legacy while pushing the music forward for new audiences.

St. Augustine Race Week 2020
2020-03-14 | St. Augustine Municipal Marina, 111 Avenida Menendez Slip 86, St. Augustine, FL, 32084, United States
Once again the First Coast Sailing Association and its associated yacht clubs are proud to bring to St. Augustine the premiere sailing event of the spring season. It’s an eight-day celebration of all types of sailing set in America’s oldest seaport city. In 2020 we’ll continue that great combination of competition and entertainment with spectator events and entertainment the entire city can enjoy. As always, St Augustine Race Week offers Challenging Offshore Yacht Racing, Exciting Inshore Yacht Racing and Inspiring Bayfront Youth Sailboat Racing for sailors from 12 – 92 arriving from up and down the Atlantic coast. Sailers will race their yachts on the Ocean in the River and on the Bay! FAST, FUN and FRIENDLY events for Sailors, Spectators and Party People on the Water and on the Land for a full week in St Augustine, Florida. It’s the world-famous St Augustine Race Week – March 14-21, 2020.
Race Week 2020 includes all the features everyone loves including the best live local bands, great food, delicious rum drinks and convivial socializing with all your sailing friends – public is invited too – downtown in the Meehan’s Big Party Tent at the St. Augustine Municipal Marina. To get your 2020 shirts, hats, sail bags and other paraphernalia, check the merchandise page on the Race week website. And, like the 2019 event, hundreds of spectators will see the delightful spectacle of youngsters racing right off the Bayfront in their One-Design 420’s. We will even have a Dragon Boat demonstration on the Bayfront, too!
Something for Every Boat. You don’t have to own an ocean-going boat to participate. Slightly smaller yachts and even trailerable sailing boats are invited to race in the popular Inshore Series in the Tolomato River just North of the Vilano Bridge. The Offshore Series is for serious racers who like lots of traditional round-the-buoys, upwind-downwind racing. The Tactical Challenge Series presents a set of coordinates to be reached by any route sailors choose.
Kids – The Best Thing about the Regatta: In the summer of 2019 proceeds from St. Augustine Race Week enabled us to send nearly 40 underprivleged kids to various summer sailing camps around the area free of charge! That’s what we’re all about – giving less fortunate children a great summer experience and training the next generation of sailors. We’re looking forward to increasing that amount in 2020 and giving even more kids their first experience at the helm of a real sailboat. The 2020 SARW One-Design 420 Youth Regatta sails in the Matanzas Bay on its own special weekend, March 14th & 15th.
For all the week’s racing events – from actual races to the parties and socials – visit this events page.
