Flagler Auditorium

Flagler Auditorium pays tribute to National Women’s Day and Women’s History Month with a special live performance accompanied by a showcase of some of the county’s prominent women’s organizations. The lively networking event at 5:30 p.m. on March 13 precedes a 7:30 p.m. performance in the Auditorium by Fire and Ice, the Tampa-based tribute band saluting two of the country’s most influential women artists, Pat Benatar and Pink.

In accordance with CDC guidelines, the Auditorium audience will be at 25% capacity. Health screening, temperature checks, and face coverings are required. The Auditorium uses a newly installed state-of-the-art circulating clean air system with Global Plasma Technology.

The special pre-concert event, “Stronger Together,” spotlights the Professional Women of Flagler County, as well as the work of the Flagler County Historical Society and the Flagler Branch of the American Association of University Women. The groups are working together to relocate the historic Seventh-day Adventist Church building from Espanola to Bunnell and restore it as the Florida Women’s Voting Rights Museum. The effort will underline the historic importance of Bunnell and Flagler and strengthen the area’s presence as an important tourist destination.

Fire and Ice enjoys an ever-growing fan base in the state and beyond. The five-member band’s Pat Benatar and Pink interpretations inspired one critic to say: “They do not disappoint. Prepare to be entertained!”

Says Amelia Fulmer, director of Flagler Auditorium, “This exciting concert provides a frame for our focus which now goes far beyond bringing great entertainment to our community. We are turning the spotlight over to shine on the hard work of local groups and their efforts to elevate our lives today by looking back at yesterday and seeing how far we have come.”

There is no charge to attend “Stronger Together,” the women’s networking event. For tickets to the indoor Auditorium concert, visit www.flaglerauditorium.org or call 386-437-7547.
