Pilgrim in Just One More Week!!

Posted on Monday June 3rd, 2013

Pilgrim! June 7-9 and June 14-15

We have been working, struggling, laughing, crying, creating, acting, moving, talking, screaming and rehearsing for well over a month and we are more than happy to tell you that it has been worth it!  We had a small audience (like really small - 1 cast member from our Christmas show) for a run-thru on Friday night. He (Deonté) was impressed and he said that it really kept a great pace. 

 

You really got to come see this show. There are six cast members and each cast member plays at least 3 different characters. The zany personalities abound! This show is fun, inspirational, relevant, cool, witty and amazing. In other words, it has all the attributes of the Director, Charlie Jones!! 

 

We are introducing some new talent to our little living room stage. By last name, we have Brandon Brockington,  Kamundi Jones & Rome Stevenson.

In case you don't know this book, "Pilgrim's Progress" was one of the first novels loved by the common people before being hailed by the more erudite. Macaulay says it's one of the very few books which have first become very popular among the populace, and only then been admitted as masterpieces by the intellectual elite. This is strange to us in 21st Century America. But in the 1600's a book's worth was first evaluated by the upper crust then it was declared a "hit" or a "flop." Pilgrim's Progress took the opposite route to fame. Indeed, it was the first Christian novel.

A Sad Update… but you can make it a bit Happier!

Posted on Friday May 17th, 2013

A Corageous Couple

If you have come to a Grub in the past six months or if you came to "City Sizzle" or if you came to our New Year's Eve party at our house then you probably have been wowed by the sounds of "Sourwood Suite." This duo has a unique sound and energy all their own. The duo is Faye Petree and Jeremy Wood. Jeremy also sings and plays in another duo, Serendipity. This duo is made up of Jeremy and his lovely wife Alison. This is where the sad news comes in: Alison has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Brain Cancer. Stunningly horrific. Paralyzingly sad. I spoke with Jeremy on the phone. He said that Alison has "good" days and "bad" days. And there are times when she goes manic and out-of-control. When that happens Jeremy will start singing one of the songs they sing together onstage. She calms down and begins singing with him. That's when I cried. So did he. This couple needs your help. This couple deserves your help. 

This Sunday at the Blind Tiger in Greensboro starting at 2pm & going into the evening.

S.O.S. — Save Our Singer — Fundraisder for Alison & Jeremy Perkins-Wood

This is an event for the entire family and all proceeds will go to Alison and Jeremy to cover costs and expenses of cancer treatment. The music will be amazing. And there will be a Silent Auction. We want the whole community... especially our Grubbers to show up for this event. Let me just list some of the bands that will be at this event.
