Performance promises an entertaining “Elixir”
The Pemberville Freedom Area Historical Society will present “Elixir” in concert

April 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the historic Pemberville Opera House. The performance is part of the ongoing “Live in the House” concert series.

What can audiences expect? Imagine Peter, Paul and Mary playing songs of the 1800s. Or a Beach Boys version of “Skip to My Lou.” What would a reggae version of “Down in the Valley” sound like?

Take that, and add a cappella songs, audience participation, some traditional arrangements (yes, they do that as well), mix in humor, fun props, history of songs and Smothers Brothers-style comedy. 

Tickets are $10 and are available at Beeker’s General Store in Pemberville or by contacting This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 419-287-4848.

Meet me at TMA

The theme for the program is African Art. Presentations are tailored to individuals who are experiencing forgetfulness, mild confusion or difficulty finding the right words, along with their family members and caregivers. Each month different works are chosen as a focal point of the visit. The next program will be held May 1.

It will feature interactive tours led by specially trained Museum docents who engage participants in lively dialogue, as art can be a rich and satisfying experience while providing stimulation to people with Alzheimer's disease.

Parking and admission to the museum and to the special program are free. The museum is located at 2445 Monroe St. The entrance and main parking lot are on Grove Place behind the main Museum building. Program participants receive a token for free parking, courtesy of TMA. Meet at the visitor’s information desk just inside the Grove Place entrance to the main Museum building.
