ACT ONE’s Festival 2019 is pleased to present Grammy Award-winning acoustic guitarist Ed Gerhard in concert!

From sold out tours of Japan to festivals in Italy and venues across the US, the exquisite music of Ed Gerhard has touched audiences all over the world. 

Performing on 6-string, slide guitar, and Hawaiian lap steel, Gerhard combines rare compositional depth with inspired virtuosity.  Fans of guitar music won’t want to miss this opportunity to see and hear one of the country’s finest players.

Gerhard was awarded a GRAMMY® for his arrangement and performance of “Moon River” on the compilation CD “Henry Mancini; Pink Guitar.” His guitar work can be heard on CDs by Arlo Guthrie and Jorma Kaukonen and is featured in the Ken Burns’ films “Mark Twain” and “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.”

“…beautifully articulated…some of the richest steel-string
sounds you’ve ever heard.”  – Premier Guitar Magazine

Many thanks to all who joined us for the New Hampshire premiere of Michael J. Tobin’s hilarious and heartfelt comedy ~
  Cupid’s Arrow!
June 7 – 9 at the West End Studio Theatre in Portsmouth, NH

Cupid’s Arrow!  played to full houses and we had to add a performance to accommodate everyone who wished to see the show.  Gretchen G. Wood and Michael J. Tobin wowed our audiences with the story of Fannie Lou Harper and Jimmie Tate, two charming people who dive into the deep end of online dating late in life and come up winners! 

Jimmie and Fannie Lou each log onto Silver Southern Singles with not a little trepidation, but before they know it, they are swapping wisecracks and hard-earned wisdom, sharing precious memories and a few of their deepest doubts.  Who-da-thunk-it?  And where will this lead, you may ask?  Treat yourself to a most delightful time, and join ACT ONE for this sweet and tender do-si-do! 

If you missed this wonderful show, don’t worry ~ we will definitely be bringing this show back!
