FROM IMDB: The documentary follows the typeface from its humble beginnings in a type foundry located in Münchenstein, Switzerland. Type designer Max Meidinger and his boss Edvard Hoffman were developing a new typeface which would be invisible, one which would not attract attention - one which would convey information but not draw attention away from the subject being discussed. The new typeface was named 'Die Neue Haas Grotesk'. In order to market the typeface to the American market a new name had to be chosen: HELVETICA.

Runtime: 1 hours 20 minutes

Films are projected onto the 15-foot-high walls of the Museum. Stick around after the movie for a Q&A and discussion with SAM curators!

Julius Caesar:
Shakespeare’s tale of murderous intrigue finds new life as it tears a page from a famous modern novel. The story makes us deliberate the limits of loyalty, the importance of structure and the value of friendship. Ideals that are classic, maybe, but always relevant. We hope you hear the powerful words afresh!

Country music legend, Willie Nelson and 27-time-winning Grammy sensation Alison Krauss are headed to Greenville on Friday, August 16! The iconic pair is sure to blow you away with their musical talent.

Willie Nelson is one of the most successful country music singer-songwriters in history, releasing 68 studio albums and 10 live albums. In 1973, he signed to Atlantic Records and put out Shotgun Willie, which veered into outlaw country, a stark contrast from the mainstream Nashville sound and clean-cut country artists of the era. Alison Krauss is largely responsible for keeping bluegrass music alive and well in the U.S., and she’s got the awards to prove it. Krauss is a nationwide favorite in concert and has been performing onstage since the early 90s and selling out tours across North America since the early 2000s.

#JudahAndTheLionGVL

Nashville natives, Judah & The Lion, are bringing that "Fold Hop Sound" to The Well on September 8! Judah & the Lion has been a family unto itself since forming at Nashville's Belmont University in 2011. Their differences were their strength as they crafted their sound over a bluegrass-heavy debut, Kids These Days, and a mold-breaking follow-up, Folk Hop n' Roll, both produced and made in just two weeks.

Disturbed Evolution Tour, presented by 93.3 The Planet, is the band's worldwide tour and is stopping in Greenville, SC on September 24, with special guest In This Moment. Disturbed is an American heavy metal band from Chicago, Illinois that was formed in 1994. The band has released seven studio albums, the latest being "Evolution," which hit in October of 2018.

Country music star Thomas Rhett brings his Very Hot Summer Tour to Greenville on October 3, with special guests Dustin Lynch, Russell Dickerson, and Rhett Akins.

Thomas Rhett scored his first No. one hit in 2013 with “It Goes Like This," introducing a sound that mixed the southern swagger of county music with pop hooks, R&B grooves, soulful strut, and the anything-goes attitude of rock. During the years since he's become a husband. A father, too. And, thanks to eight chart-topping singles, a headliner of massive arenas.

Chris Stapleton will bring his All American Road Show to Greenville on November 1, 2019, with special guests Brothers Osborne and Kendell Marvel. The newly confirmed shows follow yet another monumental year for Stapleton, who is nominated in three categories at the 61st GRAMMY Awards: Best Country Album (From A Room: Volume 2) and Best Country Solo Performance (“Millionaire”) as well as Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for his performance on Justin Timberlake’s “Say Something.”

See the film that inspired it all! After debuting at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007, The Band’s Visit (Bikur Ha-Tizmoret) won eight Ophir awards – the Israeli equivalent of the Oscars^® – and was named by Roger Ebert as one of his favorite films of 2008.

Winner of six 2017 Tony Awards^® including Best Musical and the 2018 Grammy^® Award for Best Musical Theater Album!
 
A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he’s always wanted: a chance to finally fit in. Dear Evan Hansen is the deeply personal and profoundly contemporary musical about life and the way we live it.
 
Dear Evan Hansen has struck a chord with audiences and critics everywhere, including The Washington Post who says Dear Evan Hansen is “one of the most remarkable shows in musical theatre history.” The New York Times calls it “a gut-punching, breathtaking knockout of a musical.” And NBC Nightly News declares the musical “an anthem resonating on Broadway and beyond.”
 
The Original Broadway Cast Recording of Dear Evan Hansen, produced by Atlantic Records, made an extraordinary debut at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 – the highest charting debut position for an original cast album since 1961 – and went on to win the 2018 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. A special edition coffee table book authored by Levenson, Pasek, and Paul, Dear Evan Hansen: through the window (Grand Central Publishing / Melcher) is now available, offering an in-depth, all-access look at the musical, including never-before-seen production photos and cast portraits, behind-the-scenes stories, and a fully annotated script by the authors. 
 
Dear Evan Hansen features a book by Tony Award winner Steven Levenson, a score by Grammy, Tony, and Academy Award^® winners Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman), and direction by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif (Rent, Next to Normal).

Dr. Kristin Pressley takes a deep dive into the history, inspiration, and people who bring each compelling story to life on the stage.

Open to Dear Evan Hansen ticket holders, this FREE community impact program will be held prior to the Wednesday performance starting at 6 pm. Join “Dr. Broadway” to learn more about this hit show coming to the Peace Center.

After two weeks of intense training in acting, singing, and dancing, Peace Studio: Broadway students take the stage to perform selections from the best of Broadway, past and present. See these rising stars shine in this showcase performance that is free and open to the public.

Guitarist and singer-songwriter Marcus King is a Blue Ridge Mountain boy, born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina. At only 22 years of age, this fourth-generation musician has been writing songs and performing on stage for half his lifetime, delivering a southern fried brand of blues and psychedelia inspired by rock n’ roll.

King doesn’t strive for authenticity, he never had to—it’s busting out of his DNA in every note he plays and every word he sings. This focused, firmly rooted artist isn’t just perpetuating the proud legacy of American rock and soul music; with the musically enthralling, deeply personal new album Carolina Confessions, he and his great band are adding their own eloquent chapter to that rich narrative.

All the members of King’s band – drummer Jack Ryan, bass player Stephen Campbell, trumpeter/trombonist Justin Johnson, sax player Dean Mitchell, and keyboard player DeShawn “D-Vibes” Alexander – create a blistering, yet soulful unit that has honed their synergy through endless touring.

There’s nothing like a Chris Botti concert. He’s the complete package: a dazzling trumpeter at home in everything from jazz to pop to rock, a brilliant bandleader who lets his players shine, and a born showman whose joy at being onstage is infectious.

For over two decades, Grammy^® Award-winning master trumpeter and composer Botti has amassed a spectacular variety of honors, including multiple gold and platinum albums, to become the nation’s largest-selling instrumental artist. His mesmerizing performances with a stunning array of legends such as Sting, Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett, Yo-Yo Ma, Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon, and Andrea Bocelli have cemented his place as one of the most brilliant and inspiring forces of the contemporary music scene.

The Conversation - inspired by jazz fusion from the 1970s onward, along with R&B, soul, and modern contemporary jazz - is a melting pot of sounds and tones that make for a distinctly entertaining evening.

Comprised of graduates and students from the Fine Arts Center, this contemporary music group makes their Peace Center debut in this LIVE and LOCAL concert.

For only $20, experience the best LOCAL music acts LIVE in Genevieve's for an intimate listening room experience. Drinks will be available for purchase.

Brit Floyd – the world’s greatest Pink Floyd tribute show – is bringing its most ambitious and biggest production yet to Greenville: a special 40^th anniversary celebration of Pink Floyd’s iconic rock opera, The Wall.

Released in November 1979, The Wall remains one of the biggest-selling albums of all time and a major moment in rock music history. As well as performing highlights from The Wall, the new Brit Floyd production will include songs from Pink Floyd’s classic albums The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Division Bell, and more.

Faithfully recreating the scale and pomp of the final 1994 Division Bell tour, complete with a stunning multi-million-dollar light show, Brit Floyd has truly become a phenomenon, widely regarded as the world's greatest live tribute to Pink Floyd. A Brit Floyd show is as close as fans will get to experiencing the magnificence of the original Pink Floyd live shows.

The great ones endure, and Gladys Knight – known as the “Empress of Soul” – has long been one of the greatest. Very few singers over the last 50 years have matched her unassailable artistry. This seven-time Grammy^® winner has enjoyed #1 hits in pop, gospel, R&B, and adult contemporary, and has triumphed in film, television, and live performance.

Gladys Knight & The Pips debuted their first album in 1960, when Knight was just 16. With Knight singing lead and The Pips providing lush harmonies and graceful choreography, the group went on to achieve icon status. Top 20 hits, like “Every Beat of My Heart,” “Letter Full of Tears,” “I Heard it Through the Grapevine,” and “If I Were Your Woman,” set the stage for an amazing run. Top 10 gold-certified singles like “Neither One of Us (Wants to be the First to Say Goodbye),” “I’ve Got to Use My Imagination,” “Best Thing to Ever Happen to Me,” and the #1 smash “Midnight Train to Georgia” established Gladys Knight & The Pips as the premiere pop/R&B vocal ensemble in the world.

In 1995, Knight earned her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the next year, Gladys Knight & The Pips were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 1998, she and The Pips were presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. In 2004, Knight received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual BET Awards ceremony.

In 2014, Knight released the inspirational album Where My Heart Belongs, which won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Gospel Album. Fall of 2015 marked the release of her first mainstream dance single – “Just A Little” – in nearly 20 years. No stranger to performing, she appeared in season 14 of Dancing with the Stars and made the finale of 2019’s hit The Masked Singer.

Four-time Grammy^® Award winner Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit are touring in support of their album The Nashville Sound (winner of Grammys for Best Americana and Best American Roots Song for “If We Were Vampires”).

Isbell has become one the most respected songwriters of his generation, with a penchant for articulating some of the deepest human emotions and creating poignant narratives inspired by the working class. He was recently featured in Rolling Stone Magazine’s “The New Classics” and The New York Times Magazine’s “25 Songs That Tell Us Where Music Is Going," and appeared on the acclaimed AXS TV program Off Camera with Sam Jones. He also wrote the song “Maybe It’s Time” from the 2018 hit movie A Star Is Born.

Isbell and the mighty 400 Unit - Derry deBorja (keyboards), Chad Gamble (drums), Jimbo Hart (bass), and Sadler Vaden (guitar) - have become one of the strongest live acts on the road today.

Ella cannot say no. As a baby, she received a magical ‘gift’ from her fairy godmother that forces her to obey everyone – all the time. This gift, which Ella keeps secret from those around her, ultimately becomes a dangerous vulnerability.

As she grows, Ella tires of the inability to follow her own will and sets out on a quest to rid herself of this ‘gift’. Along the way, her bravery, intelligence and selflessness helps her realize that she alone has the power to set herself free.

This story of strength and perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles is a fun, warm and empowering journey that will encourage children of all ages to find – and use – their voice.

“Gutsy, gritty bluegrass songs.” - The Tennessean 

“You can call it power-bluegrass or country soul, but whatever you call it, Nashville’s SteelDrivers have bushels of it.” - The Philadelphia Inquirer 

The SteelDrivers are a Grammy^® Award-winning band from Nashville, TN, braiding bluegrass roots with new threads of country, soul, and other contemporary influences to create an unapologetic hybrid that is old as the hills but fresh as the morning dew. “Blue Side of the Mountain,” from their self-titled debut album garnered their first Grammy nomination in the Best Country Performance category. Their sophomore album, Reckless, received two nominations, one for Best Bluegrass Album and another for Best Country Performance for “Where Rainbows Never Die.” The band’s third album, Hammer Down, subsequently climbed all the way up to number one on the Billboard Bluegrass charts. The highly-acclaimed fourth album, The Muscle Shoals Recording, garnered the group that long elusive Grammy win for Best Bluegrass Album. The SteelDrivers’ brand of bluegrass – intense, dark, poetic, and inescapably human – is a refreshing reminder of the timeless power of string band music.

Tom Segura has become one of the top comedy acts in the country. He is best known for his three Netflix specials, Disgraceful (2018), Mostly Stories (2016), and Completely Normal (2014).

Few events in the last decade of space exploration have captured the world’s imagination like NASA’s Mars Exploration Program. The successful deployment of the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity in 2004 launched a new era of scientific investigation of our nearest planetary neighbor, and marked a personal triumph for Kobie Boykins: he helped design and build the solar arrays that enabled the rovers to keep going long after their planned 90-day life.

As supervisor of the mobility and remote sensing teams for the Mars rover Curiosity, Boykins monitored the headline-making studies of the rover, including evidence that conditions on Mars could once have supported life. In 2013, Boykins received a NASA Exceptional Service Medal, one of the highest honors given to NASA employees and contractors.

Boykins will give students an inside look at what Curiosity and other Mars rovers have discovered on the red planet, as well as what’s ahead for the future of Mars exploration. His boundless enthusiasm for unraveling the mysteries of outer space, and Mars in particular, is infectious.
