Appetite for Voltage: A Tribute to Guns N' Roses & AC/DC
2024-01-26 19:30 | Deane Center for the Performing Arts, 104 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
Paying tribute exclusively to the music of GUNS N’ ROSES and AC/DC, Appetite for Voltage exists to bring those classic rock and roll songs to life at every show. The band has dedicated themselves to authentically recreating “note for note” renditions of songs that span the catalogue of hits as well as deep cuts, including the classic albums “Appetite for Destruction” and “Back in Black” in their entirety.
Formed in 2017, Appetite for Voltage has already toured sold-out clubs, festivals, and casinos including high-profile events such as “Rochester Party in the Park”, “Bands on the Bricks”, “Fairport Music Festival” and more. Each member of A4V brings several years of national touring experience to the band including performing on the “Monsters of Rock” cruise and providing direct support for heavyweights like ZZ Top, Motley Crue, The Ramones, George Thorogood, and countless others.
In their never-ending effort to emulate the music, lead singer Seth Martino commands the stage with his unparalled showmanship. Complete with wardrobe changes, his well-known Axl/Bon/Brian sounding wail and epic piano work on iconic songs like “November Rain” and “Live and Let Die,” you’ll leave feeling like you were just at a G N’ R or AC/DC show.  The band is equipped with two heavy hitter guitar players. Lead guitarist, Dylan DeSmit tackles the raw sounds of Angus Young and groove-conscious rhythms of Izzy Stradlin with ease. Hand him a guitar and those frets light up. Having toured alongside Billy Sheehan as Talas’s guitar player, the newest addition of the band, Kire Najdovski sets fire to the stage with his incomparable sound. He emulates the parts of Slash and Malcom young flawlessly. Brian Eberts brings years of experience and versatility to the rhythm section. His passion for the craft is evident on stage as his bass rumbles with excitement. Energy erupts from the stage when Todd Lange hits the drums. His playing is infectious and undeniably powerful. Together, Appetite for Voltage is a force to be reckoned with.
Tickets are $30, and we will have table seating, which is the standard for our BYOB shows. There are General Admissions risers in the back of the theatre and the opportunity to rent a table in the middle and front of the theatre. A small table is an additional $5 and seats 2-4 people.

Hamilton-Gibson Production Winter Theatre Arts Camps for kids in grades 3-9
2024-01-17 - 2024-03-09 | Clark Wood Elementary School, 110 Addison Hill Rd # A,, Elkland, PA, 16920, United States
Hamilton-Gibson Productions announces its after school Winter Theatre Arts Camps in Elkland and Wellsboro for kids in grades 3-9. The two camps will be presenting the musical “Junie B. Jones JR” based on the beloved books by Barbara Park.
The camps are free and open to students attending public or private schools or who are home schooled.
Registration forms will soon be available at schools throughout Tioga County or can be found now on the hamiltongibson.org website or can be obtained by calling the HG office at 570-724-2079 or emailing hamgib@gmail.com.
The first after school camp is for third through ninth graders who reside in the Northern Tioga School District. It will be held for 12 days at the Clark Wood Elementary School at 110 Addison Hill Road In Elkland beginning on Wednesday, Jan. 17 and continuing on selected dates through Thursday, Feb. 1 with Pay-What-You-Can performances for the public at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Feb. 2 and 3.
The second after school camp is for third through ninth graders who reside in the Southern Tioga and Wellsboro Area school districts. It will be held for 14 days at the Deane Center at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro beginning on Wednesday, Feb. 14 and continuing on selected days through Thursday, March 7 with Pay-What-You-Can performances for the public at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, March 8 and 9.
Campers will rehearse and perform “Junie B. Jones,” a delightful adaptation of four of Barbara Park’s best-selling books created specifically for Broadway Junior performers.
The campers will be taught choreography, how to project their voices when speaking and singing and how to create a character – all while having fun. Among the show’s many songs are “You Can Be My Friend,” “Lucille Camille Chenille,” “Show and Tell” and “Sheldon Potts’ Halftime Show.”
Join Junie B. on her first day of first grade, where many changes are in store. Junie’s best friend Lucille has found new best friends and Junie B. makes friends with Herb, the new kid at school. While in Mr. Scary’s class, Junie has trouble reading the blackboard and may need glasses. Add in a friendly cafeteria lady, an intense kickball tournament and a “Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal,” and first grade has never been more exciting.
Featuring many lovable characters and fun-filled songs, “Junie B. Jones JR” will capture the audience’s and performer’s hearts just as the books captivated an entire generation of students.
Campers are expected to be at all scheduled rehearsals. The basic times are 3:45 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The Winter Theatre Arts Camps are offered at no cost to campers due to generous grants from the Deerfield Charitable Trust and UPMC Wellsboro. Each camper will receive a tee shirt, script, rehearsal cd and instruction.

Martin Luther King Jr program
2024-01-15 19:00 | Wellsboro High School, 227 Nichols Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
At 7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 15, two area choral groups, two soloists and local speakers will explore the mission of Martin Luther King, Jr. at the Wellsboro High School Auditorium at 227 Nichols Street in Wellsboro. Donations �will be accepted at the door.

“Area citizens will share short insights of ways we can connect with others with kindness and respect,” Putnam said. They include newly elected Tioga County Commissioners Shane Nickerson, Sam VanLoon and Marc Rice; The Rev. Dr. A. Michele Somerville; Candice Chase; Lenore Hosier and Roger Wagner.

The Hamilton-Gibson Treble Choir will sing “Hold Fast to Dreams” with words by Langston Hughes and the spiritual “Over My Head.” Local a cappella group Pine Pitch will sing “Because All Men Are Brothers” and ‘Imagine.” Singers Logan Route and Molly Cary, both of Wellsboro, will perform solos. �

Dr. King was an American Baptist minister, a nonviolent activist and the most visible spokesperson and leader in the Civil Rights Movement from 1955 until his assassination in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4,1968. He led the fight against segregation to gain equal rights under United States law for � African Americans.�

Both houses of Congress passed the bill to establish Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in 1983 and President Reagan signed it into law on Nov. 20 of that year. This federal holiday has been observed to mark King’s birthday, his life and achievements on the third Monday of January each year since 1986. This year, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is Jan. 15. � �

“Sadly, intolerance of anyone different from ourselves seems to just be part of our human nature,” said Thomas Putnam, Hamilton-Gibson Productions artistic director. “Because Tioga County is isolated in many ways and homogenous in many others, we find that lack of exposure to other races and cultural traditions may further this intolerance of the ‘other.’

“Our goal is to generate dialogue between ourselves and others–especially those we disagree with–in order to become more open and hospitable, and to honor the dignity of every woman, man, and child we encounter. It all boils down to basic human kindness, and the universal intention of treating others as we would like to be treated,” said Putnam.
