Another concert Sunday, pancake breakfast Monday
A weekend full of events at the Ro-Na Theater will be headlined by Dwight Icenhower’s Elvis tribute concert Friday from 7:30-9 p.m.
Icenhower began his Elvis career when he was 16 years old and is now world-renowned, performing shows all over the world, and claiming more than 30 awards.
The concert is one of the biggest productions the Friends of Ironton has ever taken on, but president Rick Jansen said the group hopes to continue with shows of this caliber in the future.
Tickets for the show range from $18-28 and are still available on the Ro-Na website, www.ro-na.net. A limited number of tickets that don’t get sold on the website will be available at the door while they last. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Another concert is set for Sunday when Hybrid Soul Project, based in Charleston, West Virginia, takes the stage from 7-11 p.m. The group is comprised of six members, Shayla L. on lead vocals, Sara Renee on backup vocals, Mark Price on vocals and percussion, Johnathan Smith on keys, Jaysen Lapsley on drums and Tajae Mosely on bass, and plays all different types of music.
Tickets for the Hybrid Soul Project are also available on the Ro-Na website, www.ro-na.com and range in price from $10-15.
A Memorial Day pancake breakfast is scheduled at the front of the theater Monday morning from 8:30-10:30 a.m. The breakfast will include pancakes, sausage, coffee and orange juice. Tickets are $5 at the door. All proceeds go to the restoration of the Ro-Na Theater.
