Carolina Series: Lobster Man
Originally written as a one-act play, Lobster Man was originally selected for production in the Samuel French Off-Broadway Festival in New York City, in 2023. After its New York premiere, Cook expanded the script to full length, and it will have its World Premiere here at the Etherredge Center, as part of the Carolina Series. Lobster Man tells the story of two survivors in a post-apocalyptic world struggling with whether they are the last two people alive, until a mysterious stranger arrives at their residence resembling a person from one of the survivor's dreams. The Houston Press has described the play as a “dreamlike, magical story.” Jonathan Cook is an actor, director, and award-winning American playwright. Many of his stage plays have been produced around the World and he's a five-time recipient of the Porter Fleming Literary Award. His short film, Don’t You Dare, was licensed for distribution by ShortsTV network in 2021. He is also the host and writer for the podcast Gather by the Ghost Light.…

Aiken Civic Orchestra
Aiken Civic Orchestra’s first concert in the Classical Series will feature Rachel Barton Pine on violin for Max Bruch’s “Scottish Fantasy” Opus 46. Hailed as a leading interpreter of the great classical masterworks and a winner of numerous awards including Gold and Bronze Medals in International Violin Competitions, Ms. Pine is a past winner of the Studs Terkel Humanities Service Award. The Washington Post says Ms. Pine is “an exciting, boundary-defying performer – Pine displays a power and confidence that puts her in the top echelon.” She has performed internationally and has recorded as well, with a discography of over 40 recordings including Elgar and Bruch Violin Concertos. The concert also features the very popular,
Hebrides Overture “Fingal’s Cave” and Symphony No. 3, (the ”Scottish” Symphony in A Minor) by Felix Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn is one of the most popular and important composers of the Romantic era, and these works are often described as evoking the wild landscapes of Scotland.

Enjoy Shawn’s exhibit in our gallery from February 7-March 16, 2025. “As far back as I can remember,” Shawn says, “every part of my life has felt like a work of art- the way I arranged my toys, the direction I chose when walking the aisles of the grocery store, or the collection of notebooks I picked out at the beginning of a new school year. It seems as if my memories are snippets of organized color and movement.” Haynes goes on to add: “As a South Carolina native, those visual snapshots are framed with smells and sounds of the diverse landscapes and varied cultures that have made me whole. These sensations are ever present as I attempt to visually express impressionistic and abstract renditions of the compositions in my mind.” Haynes is an…

Cultural Series: Yamato Drummers
YAMATO is a Japanese Taiko drumming group based in Asuka-mura Nara Prefecture which is well known by Japanese people as the hometown of Japanese drumming. Founded in 1993, these amazing drummers have performed in fifty-four countries around the world. This is their first American tour since 2020.
YAMATO’s Taiko work cannot be fully described by the word “performance.” On stage, they stand with more than 40 Taiko drums, all of which have different characters. The largest drum called “Odaiko,” is produced from a huge tree over 400 years old, is approximately two meters in diameter and weighs 500 kg. All other Taiko drums are different sizes and each have different sounds.
The members of the group train their bodies extensively to beat the massive Taiko drums. While Taiko drums can explode with sound, they can also produce delicate music that provides the listener with a palette of meticulously crafted notes. This is why YAMATO’s performances are known as “Physical Music,” and their performances receive…
