Music, Dance, Theatre and the Spoken Word at The Jax Nov. 2
The Floyd Historical Society and The Jacksonville Center for the Arts will present “Tempests, Ghosts and Mad Queens” on Friday, Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m. at The Jacksonville Center. The program features Scott Williamson, Artistic Director of Opera Roanoke along with members of the Apprentice Program at the Company.

Rebecca Weeks, president of the Historical Society said, “We are happy to be able to work collaboratively with the Jax on this benefit program. The funds raised will help us continue to work towards achieving our individual goals.”
