ST. PETERSBURG, FL – After closing on March 12, the Palladium believes the time is right to bring back live shows on a very limited basis starting with the first three Saturdays in October. Audiences will again have the opportunity to enjoy live music and a safe experience at the theater.
The Palladium will be producing 181-seat Side Door shows in their 831-seat Hough Hall with reserved seating. Individuals and groups sitting together will be placed at a safe distance from other patrons. Shows will be 90-minutes with no intermission to avoid lines at the bathroom and the concession windows. Everyone will wear a mask when they enter and move about the building. All shows are $20 per ticket and start at 8pm. Tickets available at www.mypalladium.org or by calling the box office at 727-822-3590.
“All of us at the Palladium look forward to welcoming you back to the theater for a series of exciting – and safe – shows!” –Paul Wilborn, Executive Director
The lineup:
• Saturday, Oct. 3 – Blues guitarist Jose Ramirez, who placed second in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis last year, will make his debut at the Palladium. He is releasing a new CD produced by blues great Anson Funderburgh. Anson will JOIN Jose for this show, along with some other special guests.
• Saturday, Oct. 10 – Stand-up comedy with Ward Smith and Friends. This popular series brings back three Side Door favorites, Helen Keaney, Lou Angelwolf and Tim – The Dairy Farmer, along with funny man and host, Ward Smith. These comics have a LOT of material they’ve been anxious to share with a live audience.
• Saturday, Oct. 17 – Bossa Nova Guitars, with Nate Najar and Phill Fest. This annual show always sells out so get your tickets early. Nate and Phil trade bossa nova licks on acoustic guitars, joined by a great rhythm section.
