\nArts of the Pamlico, in association with EbzB Productions, will present the musical theatre production \u201c\u201969 Seasons\u201d this Saturday at the Turnage Theatre in downtown Washington. Curtain time is 8 p.m.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nAccording to AOP executive director Joey Toler, the production can best be characterized as a \u201cjukebox\u201d musical, because it employs music from the era instead of original tunes.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\u201cFor those who lived through the late \u201960s, particularly 1969, the show will be nostalgic. For those who didn\u2019t, it will be a history lesson worth learning,\u201d Toler said. A partial song list from the show includes such titles as \u201cDizzy,\u201d \u201cProud Mary,\u201d \u201cSpinning Wheel,\u201d \u201cMajor Tom,\u201d \u201c2525,\u201d \u201cBoth Sides Now,\u201d \u201cGive Peace A Chance\u201d and many more. The production contains close to 20 different musical numbers.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nBeginning with Nixon\u2019s inauguration, the show takes you through a turbulent year filled with war, protests, senseless violence and radical movements. These events are counterpoised with incredible music, avant-garde art and scientific achievements that literally took us to the moon and back.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThe writer of the show is Durham native Howard L. Craft, author of a book of poems titled \u201cAcross The Blue Chasm\u201d and many plays, including \u201cThe House of George,\u201d \u201cThe Wise Ones,\u201d \u201cTunnels,\u201d and \u201cStealing Clouds,\u201d to name just a few.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nKevin Wilson is the musical director and an internationally recognized guitarist and music educator. He has shared the stage and toured with music legends such as Stevie Wonder, Lou Rawls, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, The Isley Brothers, Ohio Players, Jon B, Tower of Power and gospel music\u2019s queen, the legendary Shirley Caesar.<\/div>\n

His portrayal of Charles Dickens in \u201cThe Night Before Christmas Carol\u201d has now been seen by millions nationally and internationally on public television.<\/div>\n
