The May Concert Series continues today, May 24 with a performance by Pangea. This FREE, outdoor concert series features performances by local and regional musicians every Thursday at 6:00 p.m. at Town Creek Park. Grab your friends, some chairs, and a picnic and enjoy an evening of FREE musical entertainment.

The product of jam sessions and small gigs, Pangea formed in 2009 with a philosophy rooted in the belief that there are thousands of songs worth singing that bring people together and tell the truth about the human condition. With performances of familiar favorites such as "Love the One You're With" and "Down on the Corner," the band enjoys playing hits you know and love as well as songs that are new to listeners.

Pijeaux (President and CEO of Birmingham Civil Rights Institute) are hosting a national search for a one-act written piece to be produced in honor of the 50th Anniversary commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s historic “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.”

The one-act theatrical presentation (play, musical or spoken word) will become the second act of a fully-realized theatrical event that features a first-act dramatic reading of the “Letter to Martin Luther King” by a group of clergymen and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” written during his incarceration in 1963. 

Submissions are due no later than September 1, 2012, and the winner will be announced on October 15, 2012.
