A Book and a Beer
2020-08-01 15:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York) | Old Coast Ales, 300 Anastasia Blvd, Saint Augustine, 32080
Old Coast Ales and local author Andrew Stack will be hosting “A Book and a Beer” to celebrate the release of Stack’s military thriller The Black Hand. Between 3 and 7pm, come enjoy fine craft beers and meet the author. Andrew will be discussing his novel The Black Hand and signing copies. For each book purchased, the author picks up the first round!
“With all that is going on in our country, I feel the release of ‘The Black Hand’ could not be more appropriately timed,” Andy explained. “This novel is about how our differences make us stronger as a nation, not weaker. The cast of heroes who save America are as diverse as the country itself. Every reader needs to check his or her unconscious biases at the door when entering the story of ‘The Black Hand.’ Otherwise, they may discover that door is really a trap.” Andy’s extensive military career and global travels have given him a unique insight into how humans interact with one another.

Penelope Ann’s Revenge: A Reading

First Coast Opera and A Classic Theatre will perform Penelope Ann’s Revenge: A Reading on Sunday, August 30, at 3pm in the sanctuary of Ancient City Baptist Church in Saint Augustine. This free program will be open to a limited in-person audience, with social distancing measures in place. It will also be streamed online.
A brand new one-act opera written by composer Curtis Tucker, FCO’s Artistic Director, and librettist Nelson Sheeley, Penelope Ann’s Revenge is a sequel to Arthur Sullivan’s one-act comedy Cox and Box. It continues where the other ended, with two brothers sharing a rented flat in Victorian England. Their lives are turned upside down when Penelope Ann, who was formerly engaged first to Box, then to Cox, arrives!
The cast features four FCO veterans. Singing the title role of Penelope Ann is soprano Elena Galván, who last appeared with FCO in Bernstein’s Broadway and The Stranger’s Tale. Mezzo soprano Emily Heumann sings Lydia. Emily sang Cherubino in FCO’s 2019 production of The Marriage of Figaro, and she was in town rehearsing The Little Prince when COVID-19 shut the production down. Tenor Daniel Bates returns as Box, having sung the tenor roles in two other Tucker/Sheeley operas, Jay in The Stranger’s Tale and B. B. Wolf in The Trial of B. B. Wolf. He also sang Beppe in FCO’s I Pagliacci. Singing Cox is baritone Sean Stork who has appeared in numerous First Coast Opera productions and concerts, most recently singing Tonio in I Pagliacci.
The two companies will mount a full joint production of both Cox and Box and Penelope Ann’s Revenge in the Spring of 2021.
