POWNAL — Bradbury Mountain Arts presents the third event in the Keep Me Warm Concert and Art Series to be held Saturday, Feb. 9, at Mallett Hall, 429 Hallowell Road.
The gallery opens at 6:30 p.m., and the concert starts at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $10 at the door.
The gallery will feature paintings and etchings by Andrea van Voorst van Beest and photographs by Jan Pieter van Voorst van Beest.
The first half of the concert will feature comedy duo “Reifer and Saccone” who bring a wealth of physical theater and comedy to the stage. Their sketches weave together movement, mime and monologue to create comic and often poignant observations of life. They will be joined by Karen Montanaro.
John Saccone and Jackie Reifer are a physical theater duo who met in 1980 while touring with Tony Montanaro’s Celebration Theater Ensemble. They toured and performed with this ensemble for five years and in 1987 created their duo “Reifer and Saccone.” They have been offering performances and workshops ever since.
The second half of this concert will feature the female trio known as ‘The Chick Peas” — Linda Pervier, Jody Albright and Darienne Oaks. They sing American songbook standards such as “Night and Day”; romp through some catchy tunes from the 1930s and ’40s; revive some Beach Boys, Beatles and Bacharach songs; and arrange classic blues and contemporary pop tunes as well as some original music. Pervier grew up in Pownal and Brunswick and performed quirky, rootsy pop music with Maine bands.
Refreshments and a door prize drawing will follow. All proceeds go towards the Keep Me Warm Fuel Assistance Fund.
The final concert in the series will be March 9. For more information, contact Kathy Hogue at 688-4153 or [email protected].
