SHENANDOAH Thursday, September 19 at the Saenger Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Marty Raybon and Mike McGuire formed Shenandoah in 1984 in Muscle Shoals, Alabama with bassist Ralph Ezell, keyboardist Stan Thorn and guitarist Jim Seales. Shenandoah inked a deal with Columbia Records and established a national fan base with their self-titled debut in 1987. However, it was the band’s sophomore effort, The Road Not Taken, that spawned their first top ten hits, “She Doesn’t Cry Anymore” and “Mama Knows.”

The group followed with three consecutive No. 1 hits, “Church on Cumberland Road,” “Sunday in the South” and “Two Dozen Roses.” “The Church on Cumberland Road” spent two weeks at the top of the chart and made country music history as it marked the first time that a country band’s first No. 1 single spent more than one week at the summit.

The group currently consists of original members Marty Raybon (lead), Mike McGuire (drums) with Paul Sanders (bass), Donnie Allen (acoustic guitar/fiddle), Andrew Ishee (keys), and Nicky V Hines (guitar).

A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS Friday, Sept. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Pensacola Little Theatre.

A Man For All Seasons is a captivating historical drama originally set in 16th-century England during the reign of King Henry VIII. This production will transport the story to the Cold War era, offering a unique perspective on the timeless themes of morality and political struggle.
The play delves into the moral and political challenges faced by Sir Thomas More, a devout Catholic and loyal subject of the King. As Henry VIII, driven by his desire to divorce his wife Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn, clashes with the Catholic Church, he demands unwavering loyalty from his subjects.
Amidst the political turmoil of the mid-20th century, More refuses to endorse Henry’s divorce and breaks with the Pope, citing his conscience and principles. Despite pressure from friends, family, and the King, Moore remains steadfast in his beliefs, ultimately leading to his downfall. Written by Robert Bolt. Directed by Jeff Glickman.
