Arts of the Pamlico's Weekly Update March 7, 2017 | Eastern NC Now

    Welcome pots o' gold and lots of luck!

    March has roared in and we aren't quite sure if it is still winter or spring weather wise. One thing is for sure, things are definitively heating up at AOP with lots of great programming. Psylo Joe and Gang of Thieves proved to be an outstanding concert enjoyed by everyone at the show. Sunday we also offered our first opera, Carmen, much to the delight of some of our patrons. Two vastly different musical offerings, yet enjoyed immensely by their attendees. The support patrons, like yourself, provide AOP allows us to continue offering diversified programming. We see on a weekly basis new faces falling in love with the Turnage Theatre as they come in for their first of what will be many visits to our events. Thank you for your continued support.

It focuses on the story of the Tin Woodman character from L. Frank Baum's series of books set in the fictional Land of Oz, notably Baum's 1918 book The Tin Woodman of Oz. The story follows the tale of how the Tinman lost his heart. The production employs live performers, puppets, music, and very few spoken words.
