Born in Chicago, his blues-influenced piano solos and hot beats will keep you singing, dancing, and not quite believing what you’re hearing, only a few feet away.

With his raspy, soulful voice and salt-and-pepper hair, Taylor Hicks was one of the unlikeliest contestants to make it to the final round of American Idol, but his quirky charm and rousing delivery of songs like "Takin' It to the Streets" won Hicks a devoted legion of fans called the Soul Patrol and the title of the fifth-season American Idol. Born in Birmingham, AL, and raised in Hoover, Hicks grew up listening to classic soul artists such as Otis Redding and Sam Cooke. Call 2073.646-4777 or Purchase tickets here.

Booth Theater
Tuesdays-Sundays August 3-21
"Nunsense" is a hilarious spoof about the misadventures of five nuns trying to manage a fundraiser. Sadly, the rest of the sisterhood died from botulism after eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia. Thus, the remaining nuns - ballet-loving Sister Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, the Mother Superior Sister Regina and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert - stage a talent show in order to raise the money to bury their dearly departed.

Ogunquit Playhouse
August 18-September 11
Always look on the bright side of life! Enjoy a lot of medieval merry-making with the delightfully zany Monty Python’s Spamalot, a musical lovingly ripped off from the internationally renowned comedy team’s most popular film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This highly irreverent parody of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is the recipient of three Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and fourteen Tony Award nominations. Join the Ogunquit Playhouse for its lavish production, featuring Tim Hatley’s sumptuous Tony nominated sets and costumes, a chorus line of dancing divas and knights, flatulent Frenchmen, a killer rabbit and more madcap mirth than a headless knight!

Ogunquit Beach is one of the most beautiful in the country, featuring miles of white sand. World Class Beach Photo 1

South Beach? Provincetown? Costa Rica? No, it's Ogunquit Beach. It's one of the best beaches in the country, with miles of white Caribbean-like sand, a dramatic tide of over 200 meters, a tidal estuary with dunes and unique wildlife.

World Class Beach Photo 2

Juxtaposed to Ogunquit beach is the Marginal Way, a meandering trail against the rocky cliffs. This picture postcard New England village boasts one the top 10 beaches in the country by Conde Nast magazine. Sun worshippers, beachcombers, volleyball players, runners, surfers, and swimmers alike enjoy the pristine sands of Ogunquit beach. There is so much to do, whether it’s a quick weekend in June or your week-long summer vacation in July. September and October are fabulous months for the beach, featuring warm, sunny days with brilliant sunshine and fewer crowds!

World Class Beach Photo 3

Before the English, the Indians would migrate from inland to spend the summer months on Ogunquit Beach. The beach was cooler than inland and there was an abundance of food. Later, post impressionist artists flocked to paint en plein air. The brilliant sunshine enticed painters like Childe Hassam, Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keefe and Maurice Prendergast. Ogunquit has always attracted artists!

The gay section of the beach is 200 meters north, or just take a left when you arrive and go past the volleyball nets.  Ogunquit Beach is a place where you can be yourself, and people will respect you for who you are.  It is truly a world class beach.
