welcome to the 2017 Tybee island Wine Festival The Tybee Post Theater welcomes you to the 9th Annual Tybee Wine Festival. Thank you for attending our major fundraiser. We have planned each event with limited ticket sales so you can enjoy not standing in lines and feel comfortable in the space around you. We hope you have fun with your friends and plan to attend more than one of our events this week. This year we are proud to say we are an eco-friendly event by using recyclables. The Tybee Post Theater was built in 1930 by the U.S. Army for the troops to enjoy movies while stationed here at Fort Screven. It closed in the 1960s. The following years were not kind to the structure. After a $2 million restoration, the Theater reopened in 2015. Today, with 206 seats, the Theater shows movies and presents concerts, plays and children’s programming. It is also available to rent for your own private function.
You can support us by: • Becoming a member • Buying a brick or a star with your name on it for our “Walk of Fame.” They make great gifts! • Volunteering • Becoming a sponsor of one of our events Visit www.TybeePostTheater.org or phone 912.472.4790 for more information. PA G E 3

Viva I’Italia!
Friday, May 5th | 7-10pm Tybee Post Theater | 10 Van Horne Avenue | $50 The 2017 Tybee Wine Festival brings you Viva I’Italia, an Italian wine tasting and concert at the historic Tybee Post Theater. Indulge yourself in an evening of Small Vineyard Italian wines curated by the Savannah Wine Cellar without ever leaving Tybee Island! Bridget Michalski of the Savannah Wine Cellar and Stanford Ray from Eagle Rock Distributing will guide your tour through some of Italy’s most famous wine regions including Tuscany, Salento, and Marche. You’ll start your taste tour with a glass of Lovo Prosecco Millesimato from the estate of Lovo in the South of Veneto before moving on to select tastings of reds and whites from across the country. And, of course, you’ll have your own commemorative 2017 Tybee Wine Festival wine glass to take home. The tasting will be accompanied by some light Italian hors d’oeuvres prepared by Charlotte’s Confections. Then as the evening proceeds, you will take your seat inside the historic Tybee Post Theater for an unbelievable concert from the internationally renowned vocal band, Poperazzi, featuring tenors George DeMott and Cody Shawn Gay and soprano Janien Valentine. Their original style is uplifting and energetic with performances that are not only relevant to today’s Pop-Opera genre but groundbreaking in their originality. Poperazzi’s Italian show features a captivating and varied span of musical styles celebrating the music of Italy and songs popularized by Italian Americans. This event is sponsored by Tybee Beach Vacation Rentals

POPERAZZI – an encore performance Saturday, May 6th | 8pm Tybee Post Theater | 10 Van Horne Avenue
Elegant, versatile, entertaining, and sexy; these are just some of the words used to describe the dynamic vocal trio, Poperazzi, featuring tenors George DeMott and Cody Shawn Gay and soprano Janien Valentine. From Opera to Rock, Pavarotti to Jersey Boys, Sinatra to The Rolling Stones, these vocalists are like a classic Vegas martini, performing a delicate musical mix of opera with a twist! These diverse entertainers have worked in some of the premier opera houses in North America and Europe as well as being featured in some of the top shows on the Las Vegas Strip. They’ve been featured in a PBS broadcast and have performed symphony pops shows from Houston, Edmonton, and Phoenix to Detroit and Naples. And we’re lucky enough to have them on our stage two nights in a row! If you miss Viva I’Italia, don’t miss this special encore performance! Sponsored by Tybee Beach Vacation Rentals
