For all things Pelican Players go to [http://www.pelicanplayersscc.org%20.]http://www.pelicanplayersscc.org . In “Desperate Housewives of Shakespeare,” six leading ladies seek revenge on the playwright who has been manipulating and twisting their lives for far too long. Are they desperate enough to commit murder? Shakespeare has been found dead — stabbed, poisoned, starved, choked, bitten by an asp, and even turned into a baardvark. But whodunit? This brilliant comedy provides answers as it sideswipes the classics with modern English and pop culture. This is the first main-stage production offered this year by the Pelican Players Community Theater of Sun City Center. Written by Jane and Jim Jeffries, the play is directed by Kevin Steinke and co-directed by Jennifer Meier. “Too often when you hear or see the word ‘Shakespeare’, you get real serious,” says Steinke, “I just want to make Shakespeare fun!” This comic tragedy (or is that tragic comedy?) has all the action of a Shakespearean play but none of those angsty monologues about the meaning of life. Get ready for an enjoyable evening. Also featured in the evening’s performance will be “Drams of Shakespeare,” by James Williams. A sort of pre-show to “Desperate Housewives,” it’s a time-travel piece that, says Williams, “unites a jovial and jolly William Shakespeare who creates conflict and discord with six of his many leading ladies, introducing them to the audience in a funny, interactive way as they seek to rewrite their roles.”The part of Shakespeare is played by Guy Bailey; Katherine Minola (“The Taming of the Shrew”), by Adrienne Lisko; Titania (“A Midsummer Night’s Dream”), by Candy Sigel; Juliet Montague (“Romeo and Juliet”), by Dawna Gantvoort; Lady Macbeth by Sandra Foell-Goldman; Cleopatra (“Antony and Cleopatra”), by Clair McColl; Lord Macbeth by James Williams; and King Duncan (“Macbeth”), by Shirley Walker. Stage Director is Julie Ramsey.
SAT. MAY 31 - TBONE HAMILTON BAND AT THE FIREHOUSE!
7:30 - 9:30 p.m. at the Firehouse Cultural Center, 101 1st Ave NE, Ruskin.
Event type: Center Stage: The TBone Hamilton Band returns to the Firehouse! TBone is focusing on the new version of the TBone Hamilton Band, which includes many different styles of music, jazz, blues, rhythm and blues, funk, rock, NOLA grooves and originals. The TBone Hamilton Band: Bass & Vocals, John Puhl – Guitar & Vocals, Eric Elsner – Drums, Ed Ludwig – Tenor Sax. The TBone Hamilton Band was formed in 2009. This was a kind of a Booker T and the MG’s model – guitar, bass, drums, keyboards – a New Orleans Style band. TBone has fronted this band for several years and it was the foundation for his bigger band TBone Hamilton’s Big Easy Revue. During this era TBone started to lose some of his blues friends. So, he decided to create TBone Hamilton & the Blues All Stars as a way to perform concerts with the best blues musicians around.
“A Tribute to Willie Dixon” was recorded by the Blues All Stars and features harmonica man TC Carr, and boogie woogie piano of Mitch Woods. The album was recorded live and in studio with TBone up front singing on all tracks and playing acoustic upright bass. Look for new stuff on the horizon!
