If you think that the chiefs at the Brewery Arts Center are sitting back and congratulating themselves on the sold-out show Saturday by George Winston, you don't know John Procaccini, the boss, and Chris Willson, producer. Here's a quick rundown on upcoming show at the BAC:
- If you missed "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)" earlier this summer, fret not because the same three actors present the show at the Brewery this Friday and Saturday, and then again Friday and Saturday, Sept. 26 and 27 at 7:30 p.m. Karen Chandler, Carson High theater teacher, directs, if one can say a show that moves so fast and wittily needed direction. Tickets are $15 general admission, with $3 off for Brewery members, seniors and students. It's in the Black Box Theater.
- Coming up next are Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Hass Friday Oct. 20. Fiddle meets cello when these two get together in a combination of big and little fiddles that was popular in the 18th century in Scotland. So Fraser is the Scot and Hass the American. They play with almost telepathic communication and are a musical delight. They'll play in the BAC Performance Hall at 7:30 p.m.
- Then brace yourself, here come the Trailer Park Troubadors, a group that has taken local music fans' fancy. Be sure and book seats for these guys long in advance; they'll play Oct. 31. These five guys play in a roots rock 'n' roll tradition matching their blue-collar forefathers. These are fine musicians with a great sense of humor and a great sound.
- You may not know much about the Delta Wires, but you'll know them better after the lift the arched roof of the Performance Hall Saturday Nov. 8. The seven men involved here bring a harmonica and horns along to fill out their blues foundation. They've played with the biggies " Van Morrison, John Lee Hooker, the Doobie Brothers, Boz Scags and others.
- Then there's the premiere of "I Say Nevada," a collection of 15 sketches in cabaret format. This is Leonard Reid's first work for the theater and promises to put Nevada on the musical map.
