Start Time(s):

     Zero Point Theater’s new staging of Merchant of Venice, while essentially true to Shakespeare’s text, is set   against the background of a Jazz/Blues World during Prohibition, in a Venice very like (but not) New Orleans      Antonio, our Merchant of “Venus” (one of Shakespeare’s many puns), is a rumrunner whose understanding of love is sadly warped by his mercantile nature He so monetizes love that he risks his very life borrowing from Shylock to provide money to Bassanio, who he achingly loves but, under the strictures of society, he can never have He even gives the money to Bassanio to woo a woman      Portia, whose own father did not see her as capable to choose her own mate, is one of the most brilliant people around She cares little about her wealth, her beauty and her sexiness except as tools She so desperately wants to be respected for her mind, in a world in which only men can be, that she risks exposure and ridicule by disguising herself as a man to argue law in the bright spotlight of the Venetian Court      Shylock is a black woman who owns a Speakeasy Jazz Club, and a devout Jew She struggles under both the disrespect of her white Christian competitors, and the pain of the hard choices, unfair deprivations, and compromises in her values she made to get where she is In her desire to ensure her daughter Jessica a better life than she herself had, Shylock so represses and keeps Jessica cloistered at home that Jessica elopes with a Christian, and a lot of Shylock’s money Shylock’s dogged insistence on a literal enforcement of Antonio’s bond in order to gain the respect of the law backfires, and leads to the loss of all she holds dear      Zero Point’s production of Merchant will challenge the audience to recognize and re-think its own perspectives on gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, and the us versus them struggles which either bind us together in a sense of security, or expose us to biting and lonely pain, and at worst threaten our sense of personal identity and value]]>

 In the early fall of 1973 The Marshall Tucker Band was still a young and hungry group out to prove themselves every time they hit the stage Their debut album had already spawned numerous hits The band’s recent release of their Greatest Hits album, in traditional vinyl form, is a time capsule from that period “We were a bunch of young guys who didn’t know any boundaries” says founding member and longtime lead singer Doug Gray As it turned out, the collective talents of The Marshall Tucker Band took them very far indeed More than four decades later, the new vinyl Greatest Hits release takes us back to the early years of The Marshall Tucker Band, both literally and physically Still led today by founding member and lead singer Doug Gray, they represent a time and place in music that will never be duplicated Gray is quick to credit the band's current dynamic members with carrying on the timeless essence of the Marshall Tucker Band sound Current members include the highly respected drummer BB Borden, a former member of both Mother's Finest and The Outlaws, multi instrumentalist Marcus Henderson of Macon, Georgia, plays flute, saxophone and keyboards in addition to lead and background vocals, Pat Elwood on bass guitar, and Rick Willis on lead guitar and vocals, both of Spartanburg SC, are disciples of the Caldwell Brothers Acclaimed lead guitarist and vocalist Chris Hicks recently rejoined the band after a two-year absence Together they present a powerful stage presence as they continue to tour the country and continue to be powerful force in the world of music The Marshall Tucker Band got its start in Spartanburg, SC when Gray teamed up with Tommy Caldwell and Toy Caldwell, Paul T Riddle, George McCorkle and Jerry Eubanks, borrowing the name "Marshall Tucker" from a piano tuner whose name was found on a key ring in their old rehearsal space In 1972, they signed with Capricorn Records, the same label that guided The Allman Brothers Band, Wet Willie, and others to national fame The MTB opened shows for The Allman Brothers in 1973, and the following year, they began to headline their own shows across America due to the platinum-plus sales of their debut album They toured constantly playing sheds, stadiums, theaters, fairs, and festivals In years to come, The Marshall Tucker Band would wow critics and influence major country acts like Alabama, The Kentucky Headhunters, Confederate Railroad, and Travis Tritt with its definitive blend of rock, rhythm & blues, jazz, country, and gospel Now, thanks to the expanding scope of today's music, a new generation of fans is learning what the rest of their fans have known for so long- that good music knows no boundaries Along the way, the band has recorded twenty two studio albums, three DVDs, three live albums and many compilations]]>
