Green Valley's Got Talent

The House Band: Hardscrabble Road Opens the Show

Wow! What a show at the third Green Valley's Got Talent Showcase! First, we

must give a sincere apology to the nearly 50 folks who came out but were not able

to squeeze into the theater. Even with adding seating on the stage behind the

performers, we were not able to accommodate everyone! We are so sorry that we

seem to have created a problem! Read on to hear our solution to over-

attendance!

Second, we want to applaud the performers who delivered an evening of

scintillating performances. Crooning, bluegrass, didgeridoo, hip hop dancing, jazz,

poetry—the evening had it all! The audience clapped, hooted, and hollered its

appreciation for our homegrown Greater Green Valley Area talent! And a big thank

you to our volunteers, without whom this event literally would not happen!

you consider an additional donation for the privilege of sharing the space

with our talented performers.

name on your word.

� Please be responsible and let us know if the number in your party changes.

Featured Performers for February 13 Showcase

The Green Valley Saxophone Quartet

This talented quartet of saxophonists from the Green Valley Concert Band does it

all: old jazz standards, happy-go-lucky arrangements of popular songs, humorous

side trips, and a touch of the classical. This is a must see! Of course, the concert

will feature the usual assortment of other acts, depending on who shows up to

audition. Right now the audition schedule is about three-quarters full. If you plan on

auditioning, let us know right away by calling Larry Worster at 303-641-3596.

Seating in the CPAC Theater! Seating will be on a first come, first served basis. As always, we reserve priority

access seating for the handicapped in our audience. Seating on the stage will be

by reservation. This seating creates a feeling of theater-in-the-round as pioneered

by Shakespeare in the Globe Theater in London. Patrons who sat in these seats at

the last show reported that the experience was unique and wonderful. Attendees

will have their choice of being up close and intimate with the performers or taking

advantage of the raked floor and comfortable seating in the main theater.

Refreshments during the Intermission

We structure each evening with an intermission to give patrons an opportunity to

take advantage of the cash bar. CPAC offers a nice selection of alcoholic and non-

alcoholic beverages. As always, thanks to our bartender George for his great

service!

Free to the public: Donations encouraged! At January's event, we suggested a donation of $7 or more per person at the door.

We have received positive feedback on the suggested increase, with many

attendees donating even more than the suggested minimum! As a Board, we are

committed to keep admission to our showcases accessible to everyone and remain

with a suggested donation rather than selling tickets. We want everyone,

regardless of their ability to contribute, to be able to share in our rich community of

music, magic, and the arts! Because of your increased donations, we are meeting

our financial obligations. Thank you to everyone who makes this possible!
