Merrrimack Hall Performing Arts Center presents 'Yesterday & Today' for three performances on August 21st at 2PM and 7:30PM and the 22nd at 2PM. This is an all new interactive concert experience where the audience creates the playlisth for the night with their favorite Beatles' music. Tickets are $32 for adults, $30 for seniors, and $27 for groups of ten and more. Tickets may be purchase at www.merrimackhall.com.

There's no denying that everyone has a Beatles song attached to an event in their life. Through laughter and personal stories, Yesterday & Today connects the audience and performers in a way like none other. Each performance becomes a unique and remarkable event. From the producers who brought the Buddy Holly tribute 'Rave On' last winter at Merrimack Hall, 'Yesterday and Today' also stars Billy McGuigan, who has received national acclaim for his portrayal of the legendary Holly and Beatles. Audiences continue to be awed by his sincerity and talent.

Before the performances, on August 20th at 7PM, the Merrimack Hall will have its first annual fundraiser, The Mixer. The event will raise money for the Johnny Stallings Arts Programs at Merrimack Hall: Dance Your Dreams!, Camp Merrimack, and Project UP, their newly formed performing company for teens with developmental disabilities.

Strolling performers, games, and delicious food will make this annual event an evening to remember. There will also be a special live performance by Yesterday & Today. Plus, have a chance to bid on rare live and silent auction items like Alabama Zone tickets, Auburn tickets, a football autographed by Nick Saban, Caribbean vacations, and a trip to New York to experience Broadway backstage with real stars of current hit shows.

Tickets purchased before August 16th are $75 for individuals and $125 for couples. After the 16th, the prices are raised to $100 and $175, respectively. Each ticket is tax-deductible. The event is invitation-only; to request an invitation, please call (256) 534-6455.

Merrimack Hall Performing Arts Center's mission is to provide educational and performance opportunities to Huntsville's established and emerging performers. Merrimack Hall strives to bring national and international performing arts to the community of Huntsville.

Since opening in 2007, Merrimack Hall has provided more than $200,000 in outreach to the community, in the form of tickets to the underserved, scholarships to master classes and workshops, facility use to other local nonprofit groups, and the Dance Your Dreams! weekly program for children with special needs.
