SUMMARY:Kris Tokarski Quartet PRESENTS: The Jazz Age - Celebrating Jazz Visionaries of the 1920s - Jelly Roll Morton\, Louis Armstrong\, Red Nichols and More...
DESCRIPTION:Show Ticket $25 \nDinner is required with all reservations. \n*6:30 PM SHOW – DINNER RESERVATIONS FROM 5:15 PM \n*9:00 PM SHOW – DINNER RESERVATIONS FROM 8:00 PM \nKris Tokarski – Piano \nAndy Schumm – Cornet\, Trumpet\, Clarinet \nMike Davis – Trumpet\, Trombone\, Vocals \nRiley Baker – Drums \n“Tokarski knows how to swing and stride — with both hands — and his playing is fluid\, supple — never stiff. His accompaniment is the very definition of sweet teamwork\, and his solos are full of surprises: you can’t tell where he is about to land\, but it’s graceful and satisfying when he does.” – Michael Steinman ( Jazz Lives) \nIn 2011\, Tokarski moved to New Orleans to complete a master’s degree at the University of New Orleans. Shortly after moving to the “Cradle of Jazz” he embraced the early piano traditions of the city as well as those of the early New York and Chicago masters. A keen interest in the music of Jelly Roll Morton\, James P. Johnson\, Earl Hines and Teddy Wilson; combined with his bebop roots allowed Tokarski to develop an all encompassing voice of his own\, deeply rooted in the jazz piano tradition. \nAndy Schumm is a cornetist\, pianist\, and arranger specializing in the jazz and popular music styles of the 1920s. Schumm is a multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, and arranger originally from Wisconsin. As a member of the Chicago-based band\, the Cellar Boys\, you can hear him play cornet\, clarinet\, and saxophone. Andy has appeared all over the traditional jazz world\, both domestically and internationally. He is also an avid student of the history of jazz. \n“Eloquent trumpet prodigy” Mike Davis (Wall Street Journal) has a voice beyond his years on his instrument. His playing is imbued with the sounds of prohibition-era speakeasies\, Hoovervilles of the depression\, and glittering jazz palaces of the swing era\, creating a timeless cocktail of American music. \nRiley Baker is a highly accomplished young Jazz multi-instrumentalist (drums\, tuba\, trombone\, bass) known for his deep roots in traditional jazz\, playing professionally from age 12 with his father\, Clint Baker\, and appearing with prominent Bay Area groups like The Hot Baked Goods\, while also studying at CSUN\, showcasing prodigious talent and versatility in both swinging ensembles and youth orchestras

SUMMARY:"I Love You\, You're Perfect\, Now Change"
DESCRIPTION:Romantic adult relationships are the focus of the musical comedy I Love You\, You’re Perfect\, Now Change\, coming to Sea Glass Stage Company February 20 to March 8. \nDirected by Dan Franke\, the show promises chuckles\, guffaws\, and maybe slightly cringy shrugs at familiar scenes. \n“This show is almost indescribable – there’s nothing to compare it to\,” Franke said\, when asked what the musical is all about. “Each scene is a snapshot of love\, in or out of it\, with people who are old\, young\, gay\, straight.” \nThe many stories celebrate numerous facets of relationships from first meet-ups to marriage\, successful pairings to comical mistakes\, from moving in to moving on\, with a healthy dose of kids and in-laws\, family vacations\, and pick-up techniques of the elders. \nFour local actors will portray the 40 characters represented in the comedic vignettes\, “almost in Saturday Night Live sketch format crossed with a musical revue\,” Franke said. “It is delightful\, because the audience isn’t sure what the next scene is going to be.” \nFranke is joined on the production team by Bob Adams as musical director\, Alex Clark as stage manager\, Ashley Gonzalez as choreographer\, and Craig Walck as lighting designer. Marcia Peterson returns as costume designer and procurer. \nPerformances are at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays\, February 20-March 8\, at the home of Sea Glass Stage Company\, 1 N. Forest Beach Drive in Coligny Plaza. Tickets are available now at sgstage.org.

His accompaniment is the very definition of sweet teamwork\, and his solos are full of surprises: you can’t tell where he is about to land\, but it’s graceful and satisfying when he does.” – Michael Steinman ( Jazz Lives) \nIn 2011\, Tokarski moved to New Orleans to complete a master’s degree at the University of New Orleans. Shortly after moving to the “Cradle of Jazz” he embraced the early piano traditions of the city as well as those of the early New York and Chicago masters. A keen interest in the music of Jelly Roll Morton\, James P. Johnson\, Earl Hines and Teddy Wilson; combined with his bebop roots allowed Tokarski to develop an all encompassing voice of his own\, deeply rooted in the jazz piano tradition. \nAndy Schumm is a cornetist\, pianist\, and arranger specializing in the jazz and popular music styles of the 1920s. Schumm is a multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, and arranger originally from Wisconsin. As a member of the Chicago-based band\, the Cellar Boys\, you can hear him play cornet\, clarinet\, and saxophone. Andy has appeared all over the traditional jazz world\, both domestically and internationally. He is also an avid student of the history of jazz. \n“Eloquent trumpet prodigy” Mike Davis (Wall Street Journal) has a voice beyond his years on his instrument. His playing is imbued with the sounds of prohibition-era speakeasies\, Hoovervilles of the depression\, and glittering jazz palaces of the swing era\, creating a timeless cocktail of American music. \nRiley Baker is a highly accomplished young Jazz multi-instrumentalist (drums\, tuba\, trombone\, bass) known for his deep roots in traditional jazz\, playing professionally from age 12 with his father\, Clint Baker\, and appearing with prominent Bay Area groups like The Hot Baked Goods\, while also studying at CSUN\, showcasing prodigious talent and versatility in both swinging ensembles and youth orchestras

Artists of the Round Table\,” will celebrate 15 prominent local artists who gathered weekly at The Red Piano Gallery from the 1970s through 1994 to share ideas and projects that nurtured the island’s growing art community. The exhibit will be on view through March 23\, 2026. \nThe public is invited to the opening reception on Thursday\, November 13\, from 5 to 7 pm. \nThis retrospective brings together approximately 80 works from private collections and new museum acquisitions. The Artists of the Round Table include Aldwyth\, Ralph Ballantine\, Joe Bowler\, Danielle DeMers\, Joe DeMers\, Ray Ellis\, Elizabeth Grant\, Walter Greer\, Tua Hayes\, Katy Hodgman\, Louanne LaRoche\, Allen Palmer\, Marge Parker\, George Plante\, and Coby Whitmore. \nThe museum is offering free curator’s tours of the exhibit on the following dates:\nTuesday\, December 16\, at 1 pm; Thursday\, January 22\, at 1 pm; Tuesday\, February 24\, at 11 am; and Saturday\, March 14\, at 11 am. \n“We are thrilled to present this historically significant exhibition that captures a remarkable time in Hilton Head’s art community\,” said Elizabeth Greenberg\, Director of Exhibitions. “I would have loved to have been at their Thursday meetings and listened to these influential artists talk about their craft.” \nVisitors can see memorabilia\, photographs\, books\, and articles about the artists\, including articles by Theodore F. Wolff\, art critic for The Christian Science Monitor — a favorite of the Round Table. \nAlso on view in the gallery is the original red grand piano\, on loan from artist Louanne LaRoche\, former owner of The Red Piano Gallery\, and the round wooden table where the artists gathered on Thursday mornings. The table was donated to the museum last year. \n“At 25\, I was just a kid stepping into the world of the Round Table’s legendary artists\,” said LaRoche. “They took me under their wings\, teaching\, inspiring\, and supporting me. Their voices still echo in spirit today\, as I continue to feel and hear their thoughts challenging me to be a better artist. I am so grateful to be a part of this exhibit that can pay tribute to their legacy.”
