SUMMARY:Bill Bowers: It Goes without Saying
DESCRIPTION:Compared to the work of David Sedaris\, Claudia Shear and Augustin Burroughs\, IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING is a uniquely crafted autobiographical tour-de-force in which Bill shares funny\, heartbreaking\, and unbelievable true stories from his career as an actor and mime\, and his life-long exploration of the role silence plays in all our lives. \n​IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING takes you on a scenic tour of Bill’s life thus far; from his childhood in the wilds of Montana\, to outrageous jobs as a performer across the country\, to the whirlwind of Broadway and studying with the legendary Marcel Marceau. \nThe evening will also include a special guest delivering An Address to the FL Legislature\, Doug Wright’s poignant 10-minute play\, first produced in 2024\, as part of Voyage Theater Company\, Inc.’s Say Gay Plays.

SUMMARY:The Red Dirt Girls
DESCRIPTION:Born at the Sherman Song Swap nearly 20 years ago\, The Red Dirt Girls (RDG) are all about harmonies. Inspired by the classic trio work of Emmy Lou Harris\, Linda Ronstadt\, and Dolly Parton\, as well as Red Molly and the Wailin’ Jennys\, these neighbors got together for the sheer joy of singing. Susy Marker and Missy Alexander trade off on the lead vocals and high harmonies. They are the songwriters of the group\, crafting lyrics that are sometimes poignant\, sometimes funny\, and often both. Pat Walker is the chief arranger\, with a perfect ear\, a passion for the unexpected\, and a smoky bass line. Best described as Americana (a blend of country & folk)\, their repertoire is an eclectic mix of original music and unexpected covers. Whether singing around the kitchen table or on local stages\, this trio of friends aspires to share the magic that a perfect chord creates.
