Letter from the President Have you ever thought about how the Arts contributes to the vitality of a community? Indeed, to your life? Art brings us together, art heals, it’s non-political. Art brings about innovation, education, and grows the economy. We missed most of that in 2020 but we have a full schedule for you to enjoy when the season opens in 2021.

For 20 years the Highlands PAC has provided a low cost, first class facility for our local 501c3 organizations and promoted and encouraged the performing arts in the Highlands-Cashiers community. This year we need the performing arts more than ever. Become a member so you don’t miss out on any of the amazing performances offered. There are several levels of memberships available for you; join now so you will be first in line to pick your shows and your seats. Members Have Perks…

Thank you for being a part of the arts in our community. We’ll provide a safe environment for you to gather and enjoy your favorite performances with an updated ventilation system and seating according to health mandates.

Nancy Harrison

A Note from the Executive Director

Hi there, I want to express my gratitude to all of you who support the arts. The arts, performing and visual, have been an important part of my life and instrumental in my life’s journey. I have the best job ever and I’m so excited to have all the performing arts in Highlands coming under one roof. The community support for this project has been overwhelming, as you will see as you turn the pages of this brochure. Be sure and get your tickets early so you won’t miss out. THANK YOU again for supporting the arts in Highlands!

Bluegrass: Seldom Scene Friday, June 18 7:30 pm Photograph by Jeromie Stephens

Since forming nearly 50 years ago, The Seldom Scene has brought both freewheeling joy and immaculate musicianship to their take on bluegrass, offering up spirited interpretations of songs from limitless genres. On their new album Changes, the band sharpens their focus to a highly specific body of work: songs first recorded in the 1960s and very early ‘70s, rooted in the archetypal storytelling of classic singer-songwriters.

And in taking on the music of iconic artists like Bob Dylan and Townes Van Zandt, The Seldom Scene performs a sort of subtle magic; transforming the most stripped-bare songs into harmony rich and elaborately arranged compositions, while wholly sustaining the charmed simplicity of each piece. On Changes, The Seldom Scene more than proves itself up to the task, gracing every song with breathtaking instrumental interplay and heavenly three-part harmonies. Co-produced by the band and Rounder Records co-founder Ken Irwin, the album also spotlights The Seldom Scene’s sheer ingenuity as song arrangers, with even the most starkly composed tracks taking on wondrously intricate textures and tones.

Broadway & More: Terry Barber with Grace Fields

Saturday, June 26 7:30 pm With an extraordinarily broad vocal range and natural fluency in many musical styles, countertenor Terry Barber has been featured on some of the world’s most storied stages and has worked with many of the music industry’s most prestigious figures.

A voting member of the Grammy Awards, and on the advisory committee for Nelly’s X’treme Recording Institute, his voice has appeared on every major record label, and with Grammy-winning artists such as Chanticleer, Madonna, Jewel, Chaka Khan, Cyndi Lauper, Steve Smith, and many more. Whether performing classical or popular favorites, he “breathes new life into everything he sings” and crafts what the Los Angeles Times calls “performances of great vitality and verve.” “A musical experience; entertaining beyond what we imagined (classical) could be, and yet informative and inspiring. His use of voice challenges what we thought possible and every performance is delivered as a piece of theater. He took our audience by the hand and helped them to connect with the art, resulting in laughs, tears, and a real connection with this genuine artist we can’t wait to invite back. His concert was among our all-time favorites.” Julie Hassett, Executive Director, Colorado River Concert Association Sponsored by: Minnie Bob & Mike Campbell, Ruth & Tom Claiborne, Geri & Wade Coleman Fran & Bill Matthews

Comedy: Men are from Mars Women are from Venus: Saturday, August 14 7:30 pm

LIVE

The Off-Broadway hit comedy Men Are From Mars – Women Are From Venus LIVE!, is a one-man fusion of theatre and stand-up, and is a light-hearted

theatrical comedy based on the New York Times #1 best-selling book of the last decade by John Gray. Moving swiftly through a series of vignettes, the show covers everything from dating and marriage to the bedroom. This hysterical show will have couples elbowing each other all evening as they see themselves on stage. Sexy and fast-paced, this show is definitely for adults, but will leave audiences laughing and giggling like little kids! When Mars and Venus collide, the adventures are earth-shatteringly hysterical. It’s a great recipe for a date night out: a little storytelling blended with some comedy, and a dash of sage wisdom from the book. A delicious evening of entertainment!

AMADEO FUSCA, Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Amadeo has now performed Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus LIVE! in over 50 cities across 30 states and in front of 60,000 people and counting!

Bluegrass: Sideline

The Friday after Thanksgiving

Friday, November 26 7:30 pm

Sideline is a pedigreed six-piece powerhouse whose style has set the pace in Bluegrass for over two decades. Founders Steve Dilling (banjo), Skip Cherryholmes (guitarist) and Jason Moore (bass) can all claim their own historical significance to the genre as members of highly-awarded groups, with multiple Grand Ole Opry appearances and years of national and international touring. What started as a side project for the seasoned players soon moved to the front and center and they began to record and release albums in earnest. In 2019, Sideline won the IBMA Song Of The Year Award for their hit single, “Thunder Dan.” To listen to Sideline reminds the fan of why so many people fell in love with Bluegrass in the first place: pulse-pounding drive, songs sung from the heart, perfected timing and dynamics as well as a visceral emotion in the rendering. A band that was started as an off-season fun experiment has become a full-time dream team of players and singers, including its latest additions, Zack Arnold (mandolin), Jamie Harper (fiddle) and Jacob Greer (guitarist). Whether live or in the studio, the sextet moves dynamically from well chosen, hard-hitting neo-traditional covers of classic songs to new material, all curated by a band with a perfect sense of who they are and what they have to say. Combine all this with their on-stage energy and finesse as well as their powerful and affecting harmonies, and you have the embodiment of the North Carolina Bluegrass sound. Sideline has released 5 national projects and records for the highly awarded Mountain Home Music Company based near Asheville, NC. Sponsored by: Nancy & Lyle Nichols
