“IMAGINE CONCERT” COMING TO GILLIOZ THEATRE PROCEEDS BENEFITING WOMEN IN NEED OF THE OZARKS
Springfield, MO – Tuesday, December 8th, 2009 will see the return of a long standing Springfield tradition. The “Imagine: A Tribute to John Lennon” concert will take the stage at Gillioz Theatre.
In 1985, Ron Butler and two other local musicians created the non-profit organization The Acorn Foundation (no relation to the ACORN that has been in the news lately) for the express purpose of staging a yearly event featuring local musicians performing the music of John Lennon with proceeds from the event donated to a local charity. The first show was held on December 8th, 1985 -the 5th anniversary of Lennon's death- at the Springfield Art Museum.
This year the proceeds will be donated to Women in Need of the Ozarks. WIN is an organization that “helps single, working women not receiving any other form of public assistance. WIN offers one-time assistance in a crisis when there is no other means of support. Recipients are not required to pay back any gift; however, many turn around and give back by volunteering on a WIN committee or in some other way. WIN has helped women with paying bills, paying for services (auto mechanic, lawyer, etc.), buying a car, and writing letters to bill collectors.”

Multi-talented comedian, actor and writer Rodney Carrington will return to Springfield for a performance at Gillioz Theatre on Thursday, February 11th. Rodney has recorded eight major record label comedy albums selling over two million copies, has starred in his own self-titled TV sitcom, which ran on ABC for two seasons and most recently co-wrote and co-starred with Toby Keith in the award-winning movie Beer for My Horses.
This past summer, Rodney released a new all-music CD, El Nino Loco, his 7th album on Capitol Nashville, which debuted at #2 on Billboard’s comedy charts. Additionally, the first season (2004 – 2005) of the ABC television show Rodney has recently been made available exclusively in Wal-Mart stores.
In August, Rodney released his new Christmas album, Make It Christmas. "It ain't got a funny song on it," he says. "It's a big-band, Frank Sinatra-type Christmas record; something I've always wanted to do." The albums includes many holiday classics such as "Mary, Did You Know?," "O Holy Night" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”.
According to Pollstar, Rodney has been among the top ten grossing touring comedians as he has performed for sold out audiences throughout the US and Canada for the last five years.
