It's a win-win: spend an evening with Earl Hamner and help the Hamner. Do you value what we do? Show your support by buying a ticket for our fund-raising evening, Meet Earl Hamner at the HamnerEARL HAMNER TO KICK OFF “THE HOMECOMING” SEASON Earl Hamner, whose TV adaptation of HEIDI once bumped off the air a pivotal late-season pro-football game between the Raiders and the Jets that was tied with 2 minutes to go, will be at the theater to show us how he did it. At 7:30 p.m. Thursday, November 5th, Earl, along with the cast of the upcoming production, will read from his play, THE HOMECOMING. Afterwards, this consummate gentleman, who had, for multiple years, 30 million viewers watching his creation (THE WALTONS) every Thursday night, will answer questions about TV, John-Boy, life, love, FALCON CREST (Earl created that, too), Hollywood, THE TWILIGHT ZONE, and anything else you might be wondering about. He will also be signing copies of his books (available to purchase at the theater). Proceeds will go to support the on-going work of the Hamner Theater. This event is made possible, in part, by the generosity of Connie Brennan and John Hesselbart, and by Wintergreen Winery (makers of Earl Hamner's favorite wine). Admission for this benefit is $50 (tax-deductible). Cheese and snacks, cash bar. Seating will be limited - make your reservations now, 434.361.1999. Will you help us to spread the word? Please, give our flyer to a friend. Thanks!
back to top It would be easy to describe these places in terms of dates and statistics, but I want you to enjoy your visit to my home in a personal way. I want you to experience it as I have experienced it and have written about it in my books and on television. This road holds family memories. My father came along here on a snowy Christmas Eve in 1933..."

Dinah Pehrson BandShow 7:30 pm, Doors/Bar/Food 6:30 pm. Tickets are $20, or 2 for $35, includes food (reservations required) Please call 434-361-1999 for reservations. The Blues, and more The Dinah Pehrson Band returns to the Hamner Theater after a hiatus of almost 3 years. Original members Dinah Pehrson (vocals), Vincent Day (guitar, vocals) and Dan Sebring (guitar, vocals) will be joined by veteran local musicians Terry Waggener (bass) and Andrew Carter (drums). There will also be a guest appearance by local musical luminary, Doug Schneider. Dinah Pehrson, familiar to Hamner Theater audiences as an actress (most recently in Quartet), is originally from New York. She has lived in the Charlottesville area since 1995 and sang regionally with the Dinah Pehrson Band from 2000-06. An alto, most of her repertoire is blues, but her musical tastes and interests are eclectic and far-ranging. Terry Waggener has been playing bass since he was in High School in the 60's. He played in many Rappahannock County Bands including The Timberline Flyers, The OK's, The Big Bristols and has been playing with Vincent Day since 1973. Vincent Day's (acoustic & electric guitar/vocals) musical experience began at the age of eleven when he learned "Has Anybody Seen My Gal?" on the ukelele. He quickly switched to guitar and solo material from the Beatles, Bob Dylan and Donavon when he became interested in girls. His first band, "The Surfers" was formed during 7th grade covering two songs: "Louie Louie" and "I Fought The Law". Vincent has played in the following Virginia rock bands: "Tonight's Menu", "The Chorus of Idiots", "The Big (and I mean Big) Bristols", "The Crazy Eights", "Venus Jones Band", "Red Sky", and "Hard Rain". Vincent takes credit for the name 'Dinah Pehrson' when he helped form the band in 2000. Dan Sebring (electric guitar, bass, mandolin, fiddle, violin, keyboards, drums, harmonica & vocals) joined the Dinah Band in 2002 and has been a part of the family ever since. He has played around Charlottesville for many years performing with some local notable bands like "Johnny Sportscoat and the Casuals", "The Stoned Wheat Things" and "The Hog Waller Ramblers" to name a few. He also plays contra dances with "The Avante Gardeners". His musical taste are wide and varied: playing bluegrass, old time, classical, jazz, blues, rock, country, etc. Andrew Carter (drums). Andrew lives in Charlottesville with his wife and three children and consequently has not had much time to become ensconced in the local musical scene. However, before moving back to the Charlottesville area, he was ensconced in the Atlanta alternate rock scene as a drummer for "Love Tractor". Plan for a fun, shakin' Saturday evening of blues and R&B with some Dylan, country, jazz, rock'n'roll, and who-knows-what-else mixed in. Will you help us to spread the word? Please, give our flyer to a friend. Thanks!
