Landmark On Main Street Announces 2022-2023 Season

Landmark on Main Street has announced their 2022-2023 season, offering audiences in Port Washington and the surrounding areas the opportunity to experience over 40 live music, comedy, and theater performances. The season lineup includes multiple Grammy Award winners, Tony winners and nominees, and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers. The season starts with an impressive September lineup including comedian Maria Bamford on 9/10, funk legend George Porter Jr. & Runnin' Pardners on 9/16, Kathleen Edwards 9/21, Gangstagrass 9/23, James Hunter Six 9/24, Delfeayo Marsalis Quintet 9/29, and Rufus Wainwright 9/30.

Long time favorites such as Judy Collins 12/3, Cherish the Ladies 12/4, and Darlene Love 2/10 will return to the theater. The season also boasts a diverse lineup of acts never before seen in Port Washington including Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn 10/16, Valerie June 11/4, and Zoê Keating 2/17. Fleck has won 15 Grammy Awards, while the duo of Fleck and Washburn recently won the Grammy Award for Best Folk Album. Landmark's new All That Jazz series features Marsalis, Bettye LaVette & Raul Midón 2/18, and two more shows that will be announced soon.

New in 2022-2023, Landmark will be presenting general admission standing room concerts including George Porter Jr, Pink Talking Fish 10/21, and Friends of the Brothers 1/27. These shows utilize the new moveable seating of the Jeanne Rimsky Theater, allowing audiences to get up close to the action and move to the music. A second bar has also been added to the theater to help Landmark better serve audiences.

The always popular children's shows include Sonia de los Santos (10/8), and Lightwire Theater's The Ugly Duckling (3/11), with more shows to be announced soon. Landmark will continue presenting a wide range of free community programming including Afternoon TEA on Wednesdays at 2pm, a Hispanic Heritage Celebration in October, and a Lunar New Year Celebration in February.

The 2022-2023 season is the first season fully scheduled by Landmark's new Executive Director, Richard Mayer, who worked in the live entertainment industry in New Orleans for over 10 years before joining Landmark. "This is an exciting time for Landmark. Folk music and roots rock have always been the foundation of our programming, and we're so excited to be offering jazz, funk, soul, and more. We're a space for the whole community, and I think this season offers something for everyone." Mayer was assisted in selecting the season by Landmark's new Music Advisory Council, a group of music lovers and professional from the Port Washington area. "The Jeanne Rimsky Theater has undergone tremendous improvements over the past year," says Mayer. "We've improved the acoustics, changed up the seating, upgraded our lights, and added a new lobby bar."
