Please note that the events, dates, and times reported in this newsletter were accurate at the time of publication, but because of the evolving changes owing to the COVID-19 situation, we recommend that you use any contact information provided to determine whether such activities have been canceled or postponed before you go. Troubadour Concerts Resume Friday We’re Back in the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship on Sept. 3 After 18 months of hiatus, the lights will be back on at the Troubadour Acoustic Concert series, resuming an otherwise almost continuous 47-year history of presenting concerts and Open stages. It will be a welcome event for the whole crew of the Troubadour as well as the throngs who will attend the opening concert with Mike Agranoff and the Annie Donahue Trio on September 3. It will largely be a continuation of our pre-COVID operation, but there will be some changes. In recognition of the tail end of the Pandemic, we will be requiring the wearing of face coverings inside the building. And to further ensure everyone’s safety, we will be limiting attendance to only those who have been fully vaccinated. We will be checking proof of vaccination at the door. (Please don’t assume this is only a formality. No proof, no admission.) These restrictions will be amended over time as COVID conditions and the directives of medical authorities change. There will be some positive changes as well. We will also be resuming live-streaming our concerts that ended with the demise of Concert Window in September of 2019. So those of you who cannot make the live show can still see it on video. Concerts will now be streamed on the same Facebook Live platform that has so well served our Stayaway concerts since March 2020. There will be a nominal $3 ticket price to view the concert, and we will continue to ask that you make a free-will donation to the headline act, as you so generously have done for the Stayaway artists. The changes will add somewhat to our volunteer needs. We will require extra help at the admissions desk to check Vax cards, and more sound and video techs at the controls to process good sound for the live stream. (If any of you ever had the notion to try your hand at the soundboard, but were unsure as to how, we will train you.) We’re also looking for more volunteers in the “Exchequer” role of handling the money at the show. Anyone willing to lend a hand and be part of the team, please contact Volunteer Chair Jean Scully. She will start you on your way. See you all at the Troubadour. Yippee!! —Mike Agranoff, Program Chair
