Th is show is de- cidedly diff erent. Yes, John and George have passed on. But, what if they hadn’t? Would the Beatles have gotten back together again? And if they did, what would that concert have been like? Th is production answers that question. It is the concert we believe they would have done, fi lled with stories, laughter and of course, those incredible, timeless songs that are so well loved.” Th e show includes performers who have perfected the impersonations of the individuals they represent, including Nick Bold in the role of George Harri- son. Originally from Bolton, near Man- chester, England, Bold called George Harrison a lifelong guardian angel, and said that playing the part is no challenge for him. “I grew up a Beatles fan from 4 or 5 years old, right in the heart of Beatlemania when my older sister had all the albums,” Bold said. “I started playing guitar at 12, and George was my main infl uence...and coincidentally, people said I looked and sounded like George Harrison.” “In part because people say I talk like him, and I’m not trying to, so it feels eff ortless,” Bold said. “But it also doesn’t feel like work. If you do something you love every day, it feels like it’s not really working, and that’s genuinely how I feel.” “We put you into a dream world,” Bold said. “What a fantastic thing it would be if it were true, so suspend your belief for a few hours. We hope we can make that happen.” Kathi Smith – Knits & Crochets hats to ponchos; Beverly Apple (Art from My Heart) - creates from vintage copper roofi ng Jeanne Ternahan - creates everything in fabric including doll’s clothes Rich Huckins - creates everything in wood Brad & Ginny Kliever (Foggy Bay Studios) - Brad does great wood kitchen utensils and Ginny does felted scarfs, bags, etc. Dan & Kat Prince (Th e Herbal Gerbil) - lotions & po- tions of all kinds Jessica (Lady J Arts) - does fi ne art jewelry Tarno Greene – gets you ready for travel with her handy bags Nancy Gant (Simply Lampwork) - the latest works of art in lampwork beads Marie Hinze - quilts & wall hangings of all sizes Patti Williams - paints in oil & watercolor -and does ster- ling fi ligree jewelry Guy Lundy - wire wraps your choice of gem stones, also rocktography Coastal Fitness Spring Show C oastal Fitness presents their 23rd Annual Gymnastics Spring Show, Th ursday, June 7th at 6:30 p.m. at the Florence Events Center.
