Charlie Brown's Coasters - September 8th!

Yo, Ho, Me Hearties! It’s the 2nd Annual Tennessee Pirate Fest!

Open Auditions Saturday 7/29 & 8/5
Vendor Applications due 9/1

Darkhorse Entertainment, LLC, is setting sail for the second annual Tennessee Pirate Fest on Saturday and Sunday, October 7 and 8, of Columbus Day weekend.  This family-friendly event springs to life in Harriman at the Tennessee Medieval Faire site--only 30 miles west of Turkey Creek.  All are invited to escape to the fictional pirate haven of Port Royale in the Tortugas, circa 1700-1800’s. 

“Our first pirate fest last year was a regional event.  Patrons came from 11 Southeastern states and from 29 Tennessee Counties, primarily Knox County.  Many came in costume!  We hope people will return, bring friends, and really enjoy the festival,” said Barrie Paulson, VP-Manager.

Patron costume contests will be back by popular demand; and prizes, based on audience applause, will be awarded. 

Added this year will be The Royal Gong Show, where patrons will be invited to demonstrate their talents on stage; and the Trail of Doom, a wooded walking tour with humorous pirate displays.  There will also be continuous pirate entertainment of live music, a variety of comedy shows, interactive street characters, beach games, original crafts, delicious food, and refreshing beverages--including beer.

Open auditions for interactive street characters ages 18+ will be held on Saturdays, July 29 and August 5, from 2-5pm ET, at 125 Barrie Lane, Kingston, TN.  Auditions will include telling pirate jokes or tall tales; singing or playing an instrument; displaying movement, athletic or stage combat ability; and participating in improvisational games. Costumes and theatrical experience are helpful but not required to audition.  Professional acts can audition online with a video link and show details emailed to DarkhorseLLC@comcast.net.

Festival organizers are seeking quality craft and food vendors to fill the village.  Vendor applications and guidelines can be downloaded from the website www.TNPirateFest.com under the vendor tab.  The application deadline is September 1st.  There is no application fee.

The second annual Tennessee Pirate Fest will take place October 7 & 8, 2017 from 11am-6pm ET--rain or shine.  Ticket prices will be $16.00 for ages 13 and up, $8.00 for ages 5 to 12; and entry will be free for ages 4 and under.  Parking is free, and tickets will be available for purchase at the gate with cash or credit.  Onsite camping for patrons is not available, but public campgrounds and motels are nearby.  The festival is located at 550 Fiske Road, Harriman, TN.

The Coasters Coming September 8th!

The Princess Theatre Foundation Presents Charlie Brown’s COASTERS on Friday Sept. 8, 2017, at 7.pm, inside the beautifully restored Princess Theatre, downtown Harriman!

When you think of the most consistently successful comedy/novelty act performing from the mid-1950’s through today, the name of THE COASTERS immediately comes to mind.

THE COASTERS have placed almost 20 records on the national charts over the years.  The group enjoyed an unbroken chain of hits, each a million-seller, like ALONG CAME JONES, LITTLE EGYPT, POISON IVY, YAKETY YAK, CHARLIE BROWN, SEARCHIN’ and others.

Over the years they have toured with such giants as Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Little Richard, the Shirelles, the Drifters and many others.

Charlie Brown’s COASTERS are probably one of the few show groups in the business who really need no promotion.  And while the original members are no longer performing, Charlie has been a Coaster for over 45 years and is loved by audiences world-wide.

Charlie Brown’s Coasters continue to bring great music to audiences all over the world.  Their show is packed with your favorite good-time memory making hits from those happy times of yesterday!

Tickets will be sold at the door, at a price to be announced closer to September 8th!
