The Legacy Theater in Carthage announces “Continuing the Legacy,”  a series of regional performance videos that will premiere February 11 on the www.thelegacytheater.com , www.wcazradio.com  and on The Legacy Theater facebook pages .

The first show features Rick Marshall of Nauvoo with a program of timeless classics and show tunes.  It can be viewed for two weeks on the theater’s website and Facebook page.

A new addition to the series will be added every two weeks, featuring piano music, Bluegrass, classic country rock, story telling, Christian praise, and more.

“This series of video shows promotes the arts, showcases local talent, and continues the mission of The Legacy Theater, which is to bring great entertainment to the region,” according to Amy Graham, Legacy Theater Foundation board member, and chairman of the theater’s performance recruitment committee.

“All of these performers have been hand-picked to create a high quality series, and each group has willingly donated their time and talent to be a part of it,” Graham said.

Rick Marshall has a degree in music from BYU and is now director of the Nauvoo Orchestra and Choir. Rick Marshall Sings is a compassionate service with song. Marshall has conducted various concerts and cantatas through the years.

“We are saddened that our theater has been dark for nearly a year,” said Doug Groth, chairman of The Legacy Theater Foundation board. “We believe our patrons miss our shows as much as we do. This is one way for the theater to provide entertainment and highlight some great performers from this part of the Tri-State area.”

Without ticket sales for most of 2020, The Legacy Theater has relied on donations to cover ongoing theater expenses – utilities, maintenance, insurance, the limited staff, and deposits for future performers.

There is no charge for viewing the “Continuing the Legacy” series. A button is available if viewers choose to make a donation.

“While we cannot say when the theater will reopen, plans are moving forward. We have some great talent lined up for 2021,” said Groth. “We are excited about the future, when we can again gather for live entertainment at The Legacy Theater.”

The Legacy Theater is excited to bring you a piece of Our Legacy beginning  February 11.
