Cy Coleman and Michael Stewart’s rousing score includes “There’s a Sucker Born Every Minute,” “Join the Circus,” “The Colors of My Life” and “Come Follow The Band.” See: “Before Fox News, There Was Barnum’s ‘Sucker Born Every Minute’: Flagler Playhouse Stages Timely Musical.”
In Coming Days:
Flagler Pride Weekend: All applications (Vendor, Sponsor, Volunteer, Speaker, Entertainment) for Flagler Pride Weekend are now open until midnight on May 20th, 2023. No late applications will be accepted or considered. Vendors, apply here. Flagler Pride weekend is scheduled for June 10-12, at Palm Coast’s Central Park.
Notably: It’s an interesting day in Canada, where they have an annual National day of Mourning–not, for a change, for soldiers, but for workers killed or injured on the job in Canada, where 1,000 people die at work every year, compared to 700 killed in murders. In the United States, we had 5,190 workplace fatalities in 2021, according to the National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. We do not mourn, as they do up north. We cut benefits. From the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety: “In 1991, eight years after the day of remembrance was launched by the Canadian Labour Congress, the Parliament of Canada passed the Workers Mourning Day Act making April 28 an official Day of Mourning. Today the Day of Mourning has since spread to more than 100 countries around the world and is recognized as Workers’ Memorial Day, and as International Workers’ Memorial Day by the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC). It is the hope of CCOHS that the annual observance of this day will help strengthen the resolve to establish safe and healthy conditions in the workplace, and prevent further injuries, illnesses, and deaths. As much as this is a day to remember those who have lost their lives, it is also a call to protect the living and make work a place where people are safe and can thrive.”

Now this: The final piece was a bit long–a medley of the Jurassic Park themes–but the full house (a bit less than full by then: parents of the younger kids sometimes go home too early, the younger kids’ gig being done) had a few tons of fun, with Joe Corporon conducting a joint performance by the Harmony Chamber Orchestra (the Flagler Youth Orchestra’s top ensemble) and musicians from FPC’s band, for winds, brass, percussion and a pianist. This was at the Auditorium Wednesday evening. An empty camera battery cost us the first few bars.

“There are just some kind of men who-who’re so busy worrying about the next world they’ve never learned to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results.”
–From Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. Lee was born on this day in 1926.
