WOODSTOCK — The Marshall Tucker Band will perform in concert at the Center for the Arts at Woodstock Academy’s South Campus on Friday, March 16. The benefit performance will help Woodstock continue its upgrades to the Center for the Arts. Some of those improvements will already be noticed as new seats, car- peting and paint will welcome those who attend the show. The legendary southern rock band will perform their many hits including “Heard it in a Love Song” and “Can’t You See.” The evening will begin at 7 p.m. with Cold Train, New England’s own southern rock tribute band, opening for The Marshall Tucker Band. Doors will open for the show at 6:15 p.m. The show is the first of several planned events. “Upcoming performances like this will bring a greater variety of entertainment options to our community, and funds raised will help us continue to improve the Academy’s facility for the use of our students and community partners,” said Jonathan Sturdevant, associate head of school for advancement. Funds raised at this performance will go directly to physical and technical improvements in the Center for the Arts. The Center for the Arts is located on Woodstock Academy’s South Campus, 150 Route 169, Woodstock. General admission tickets are $35. Premium tickets, which include admission to a pre-show reception, are $100. The reception will be held next door at the Head of School’s home. Ticket information is at woodstockacademy.org/tickets.
