Arcadia Players 2007-2008 Season

5:15 A Musical Feast with Cantabile and guest artists Meg Pash, lute, and Laurie Rabut, viol,
in an assortment of delightful ensemble pieces and solo ballads depicting delicacies from hunt to market to table. Savor herbs and their virtues, the miracle of the loaves and fishes, a lusty St. Martin’s Goose and much more, washed down with ample portions of wine, ale and coffee. Cantabile’s selections touch on subjects ranging from the harvest to gluttony to the hedonistic adventures of an order of French monks.
6:00 Wine, alternative beverages, hors d’oeuvres and a lively auction of goods and services to benefit Arcadia Players, with auctioneer extraordinaire Walter Denny. The auction will feature items beautiful, useful or both; gift certificates, and services that draw on the expertise of our community: music lessons, dinners and more.
The Celebration will be preceded at 4:00 PM by Arcadia Players’ Annual Meeting (all welcome) and announcement of the eight concert programs Arcadia will offer in 2008-09, our twentieth season!

There is no charge, but you are asked to bring a favorite food (cheese, dips, other hors d’oeuvres) or beverage to share. The event will be held in any weather, with the Annual Meeting in the parlor and the concert and auction in the newly created theater space in the Renaissance Center barn. The theater provides performance space for the Renaissance Center Theater Company until the Center's planned replica of a 16th century Great Hall is constructed on the grounds as an appropriate facility for conferences and the Renaissance performing arts.

Public Television for Western New England is the sponsor of Arcadia Players’ 2007–2008 season.
