Triumphant Quartet to Perform at McGregor Hall with Opening Act Unashamed

-Information courtesy the McGregor Hall Performing Arts Center website

Gospel music performers Triumphant Quartet will perform at McGregor Hall on Saturday, November 17, 2018, at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. This performance is part of the JOY! Series.

Special opening act by Vance County’s Unashamed.

The one consistent thing about life is change. Things around us are constantly changing. So when a group like Triumphant Quartet maintains consistency, it speaks volumes about who they are and what they have accomplished. Triumphant is the face of quality Gospel Music, Christian integrity, family values, friendship and dedication.

The group has been that way since their beginnings in 2003, when the four friends first walked out on to the stage of the Louise Mandrell Theater, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee as a headlining talent. Each current Triumphant group member was there in that defining moment and has continued together ever since.

Their smooth harmonies and rich quartet sound quickly gained them national attention, recognition and concert demand. That popularity promoted the group in 2008, from singing daily at the theater to touring nationally and performing in major concert venues, auditoriums and churches. It has earned them the vote of Fan Favorite Quartet in the Gospel Music field for the last nine years, with each group member also being nominated for and receiving various awards.

Triumphant Quartet has had five #1 songs and several others have climbed the Top 40 music charts. They have also received four Album of the Year and three Song of the Year awards, which has contributed to their popularity.

Audiences will find themselves smiling, laughing, crying, encouraged and uplifted. And most of all, they will walk away having had the Gospel Message presented to them in a powerful way, with a hope that many will receive Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Henderson Rec Players Present ‘Clybourne Park’ at McGregor Hall, Aug. 9-12

/by

-Information courtesy McGregor Hall Performing Arts Center

The Henderson Rec Players will present “Clybourne Park” by Bruce Norris at the McGregor Hall Performing Arts Center nightly August 9-11 at 8 p.m. and August 12 at 2 p.m.

Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play, “Clybourne Park” is a satire about the politics of race that will be directed by Stephanie Asabi Howard. In response to Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin in the Sun,” playwright Bruce Norris set up his work as a pair of scenes that bookend Hansberry’s piece and are set in the same modest bungalow on Chicago’s northwest side.

In 1959, Russ and Bev move out to the suburbs after the tragic death of their son. Inadvertently, they sell their house to the neighborhood’s first black family. Fifty years later in 2009, the roles are reversed when a young white couple buys the lot in what is now a predominantly black neighborhood, signaling a new wave of gentrification. In both instances, a community showdown takes place, pitting race against real estate with this home as the battleground.

Tickets are available for $16 at the McGregor Hall Box Office, 201 Breckenridge St. in Henderson, by calling (252) 598-0662 or visiting www.mcgregorhall.org. Doors open one hour before the show.
