Good morning from Collegeville,

I stopped in at The Paramount Theater for Chamber Connection this morning. Today is the last event at The Paramount in the 67 year old seats that came from Stewart Hall at SCSU when The Paramount was renovated in 1998. On Monday they will start to remove the existing seats and by July 16th, when Andrew Walesch and his Big Band present “100 Years of Sinatra”, there will be brand new seats.

You have an opportunity to support this project by participating in “Take Your Seat…For Act 2” by purchasing a seat to commemorate a loved one, yourself or your business with an engraved plaque on an arm of the seat. If you are interested simply reply to this email and I will mail you a brochure or go to paramountarts.org.

The APHC show this week is a rebroadcast featuring two shows from the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia, one from May of 2010 and one from last season, May of 2014. Special guests include southern music singer Suzy Bogguss singing Merle Haggard’s “Today I Started Loving You Again”. Bryan Sutton does his flat-picking guitar work with “Hangman’s Reel” and The Steep Canyon Rangers perform “Can’t Sit Down”. Garrison and Lynn Peterson sing a few songs in Norwegian to celebrate Syttende Mai. The usual cast of characters ramp up the radio drama. In Lake Wobegon, the war between the Lake Wobegon Lutheran Church pastor Haugen and secretary Marlene intensifies. Enjoy the show.
