That's the way Stuart Secttor, the executive director of the Clark State Performing Arts Center, describes their new series called Wine Down Thursdays.
He says the events come as a response to hearing that eighty percent of executives in Clark County live somewhere else.
Secttor points out “even if it’s half right, it’s pretty impressive.”
Hollenbeck Bayley Creative Arts and Conference Center.
Secttor hopes to attract some of that 80 percent to the new 27,000-square-foot Hollenbeck Bayley Creative Arts and Conference Center adjacent to the Performing Arts Center.
Four events are planned between next week and April to keep people downtown a little longer.
The $10 ticket—available at pac.clarkstate.edu or by calling (937) 328-3874—includes one beverage beginning at 4:30 p.m. and then a 45-minute show at 5:30 p.m.
Secttor adds “the bar will remain open.”
Here’s the schedule for Wine Down Thursdays at the new Creative Arts and Conference Center:
• Oct. 27 — Wild Carrot, the Cincinnati Americana duo of Pam Temple and Spencer Funk that has undertaken two tours of Chile as cultural ambassadors on behalf of the State Department.
• Nov. 17 — Mieka Pauley, the alt-rock singer-songwriter who has played shows with the Avett Brothers, KT Tunstall, Natasha Bedingfield and Springfield’s own John Legend.
• March 8 — Lisa Biales, the jazzy folk singer from Oxford, whose song, “I Believe,” was featured on the CW show “Girlfriends.”She’s also an actress, appearing in Francis Ford Coppola’s new horror flick, “Twixt.”
• April 12 — Ventriloquist-comedian Lynn Trefzger, who--along with Jeff Dunham--was featured in the 2009 documentary “I’m No Dummy.”
