The next Romanza Gathering will be held on Tuesday, October 13, from 5:00-7:00 PM at Raintree Restaurant.
This networking event is open to ALL individuals and cultural organizations, members and non-members alike. Members are cordially invited to bring a friend.
After a summer hiatus, this is a great chance to reconnect with old friends, make new friends and discover what's ahead on the cultural scene for St. Augustine.
The Guest Speaker will be Andrew "Andy" Witt, Executive Director of the St. Johns County Cultural Council. His topic will be one of great interest to the attendees: "An overview of development opportunities for the arts, culture and heritage."
Another regular feature of the Gatherings is our Members Spotlight: Time is given for Members of Romanza who wish to announce their upcoming plans and events for the new season. No advance notice required, just come prepared with your flyers or posters, dates and times, and share your exciting plans with everyone.
These Gathering mixers are a unique and comfortable opportunity for the creative community to socialize, communicate and share ideas and information. You'll meet fascinating people from St. Augustine's Arts, Culture, Heritage, Attractions and Business organizations. For more information on Romanza, visit the website at www.Romanzastaugustine.org
Created in honor of the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Panama Canal, the play looks at the role of women who arrived from the West Indies, England and the United States during the construction period in Panama.
Dr. Paul Ortiz, Director of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program at the University of Florida describes "Threads of Silver and Gold" as "an intimate and compelling portrayal of life in the Panama Canal Zone. Told through the voices of women from the West Indies, England and the United States, this play is a poignant and powerful rendition of life as it was experienced by people from different backgrounds in the Panama Canal."
