The Taste Of History was born during a Medford Urban Renewal Agency Marketing Committee brainstorming session in the fall of 2004. The purpose of the event was to showcase Downtown Medford and feature a walking tour of the historic buildings that had been renovated utilizing the façade grant improvement program that was funded by Medford Urban Renewal Agency. Several of The Medford Urban Renewal Agency Marketing Committee Board Members and a couple of local volunteers worked long and hard to make The Taste Of History become a reality. With little or no funding and just six short months of planning this group of visionaries came together and made the impossible happen for Downtown Medford. In June of 2005, The Taste Of History held its first ever highly successful event in Downtown Medford. Twelve different historic buildings were on the self-guided tour that started in Vogel Plaza and proceeded throughout Downtown. Musicians were on several street corners and in several of the historic locations. Local artists displayed their talents in each of the tour locations. Local and regional wineries, local restaurants and various confectionaries were serving samples at each location on the tour. Participants in The Taste Of History received a commemorative wine glass that they carried with them throughout the tour and took home as a souvenir. Everyone attending said this was one of the best events of its kind and an incredible breakthrough for Downtown Medford. In June of 2006, the tradition continued with another highly successful event in Downtown Medford. With approximately 15 historic locations on the tour, The 2008 Taste Of History promises to be bigger and better than ever. The 2008 Taste Of History will also include more musicians, artists, wineries and food samples. Please join us in celebrating the rich history of Downtown Medford the 2nd Saturday in June. Come see why we say Medford is A City In Bloom! Visit [link http://www.thetasteofhistory.com]thetasteofhistory.com[/link] for more information on the Artists, Wineries and food providers.

After murdering her abusive boyfriend, inciting a media circus, and teaming up with showboating attorney Billy Flynn, she gets her wish. The winner of six Tony Awards, an avalanche of critical raves, and thousands of standing ovations, the sensational Chicago is both a hard-boiled satire of clinically achieved fame and rip-roaring razzle-dazzle of a show, featuring fabulous dancing in the style of Bob Fosse and the best score over composed by the legendary songwriting team of Kanger and Ebb (including such showstoppers as "All That Jazz," "Razzle Dazzle," and the steamy "Cell Block Tango").

This singularly talented vocal ensemble, alternately named The London Quartet, might be said to sing in instrumental style; its sound is so dynamic and full that it seems impossible that only four people are producing it. One of Britain's most celebrated singing groups, Cantabile covers a dazzling array of musical styles, from Renaissance madrigals to Monty Python ditties. These gents are entertainers as well as musicians and spike their concerts with a very British wit, offering shows as slyly playful as they are musically sublime! As critic Tyne Compeyson puts it, "They are masters of the form, in a class by themselves, with a versatile sound rooted in the great English choral tradition."

The show both lampoons and celebrates its geeky protagonists (played by adult actors) who, in the heat of battle, disclose the massive insecurities behind all the cocky posing. "That rarity of rarities" a super-smart show that is also a bona fide crowd-pleaser!? (The Wall Street Journal).

A group of friends from Long Island, each based on a character from one of Joel's songs, comes of age in the turbulent 1960's, learning some hard but life-changing lessons along the way. Tharp's stunningly athletic dancers tell the story as the show's musical narrator, the Piano Man, backed by a hard-driving band, performs Joel's vivid story-songs. Movin' Out is sure to enthrall both lovers of dance and fans of Joel's literate, affecting pop-rock. Due to the depiction of war and a few intimate situations, Movin' Out is recommended for ages 13+.

This tribute from The London Times may sound like hyperbole, but anyone who has seen Moschen perform knows he needs only a simple object to make theatrical magic. In the world of juggling, there are many masters, but there is only one Michael Moschen. The New York Times calls him a "genius" and "the Nijinsky of juggling." In fact, the term "juggler" hardly does Moschen justice. He is better described as a juggler-dancer-physicist-sorcerer, who draws on scientific and mathematical principles to create breathtaking feats of manipulation and imagination ? and, in the words of The Village Voice, "to unfurl the secrets of the universe." Don?t miss this amazing, utterly unique show!

Annie is back, in a 30th anniversary production overflowing with the same effervescent charm that helped make it one of America's most beloved musicals. Winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Annie brings to life the adventures of the indomitable comic-strip heroine, Little Orphan Annie. Escaping the dreary confines of a Depression-era orphanage - and the clutches of its crooked director, Miss Flanagan - Annie wins her way into the home and heart of the heretofore hardened millionaire, Daddy Warbucks. Boasting one of Broadway's most infectious, upbeat scores (including "It's the Hard Knock Life," "Easy Street," "NYC" and, of course, "Tomorrow"), Annie is as winsome and winning today as it was in 1977. You can bet your bottom dollar you?ll love this show!

It routinely wins comparisons to Riverdance and has been called "Stomp with fiddles," but this breathtaking, high-powered show is completely unique. Barrage mixes a generous sampling of traditional world fiddle music - from Irish jigs to gypsy music to Caribbean folk - with pulsating, modern beats and layered vocal arrangements, all performed by its hip, dynamic, eye-catching cast of young virtuosos, who play and sing and dance with seemingly inexhaustible abandon. "This amazing show, ideal for the whole family, is abouth as blithe, blissful and beguiling as entertainment gets!" (Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune).

Their eclectic repertoire mixes the classics with contemporary pieces, including newly commissioned works from up-and-coming composers. British critic Philip Jones extols the group for its "exquisite blend of Latin temperament, brilliant technique, and outstanding musicality." French critic Jean-Pierre Mathez puts it more simply: "The Spanish Brass is a truly magnificent ensemble."

To others, he's best remembered as Dr. Geiger, the brilliant, unstable surgeon on TV's "Chicago Hope."

But multi-talented, Tony Award and Emmy Award winner Mandy Patinkin has his own favorite role: reaching out to live audiences with the power and passion of popular song. Patinkin's beautiful, dramatic tenor has been heard many times on Broadway and in one-man concerts around the world. Now it's your turn to be entertained by one of the great talents of our time.

This acclaimed musical adaptation of Norton Juster's beloved children's book is a treat for the whole family, featuring buoyant music by Arnold Black and witty lyrics by Broadway legend Sheldon Harnick (Fiddler on the Roof, She Loves Me).

The immortal Duke Ellington not only wrote that famous song but lived the truth of its message through five decades of composing, performing, and conducting. An internationally revered innovator, Ellington created a signature sound ? featuring soaring reeds and jungle-growl bass ? that lives on in the celebrated Duke Ellington Orchestra, which plays the Ellington song book with all the big-band brio and jazzy zest that its founder consistently delivered. When you hear this singular group perform "It Don?t Mean a Thing," "Satin Doll," "In a Sentimental Mood," "Take the A-Train" and other Ellington gems, you're sure to agree that the Duke Ellington Orchestra still has that swing!

It was a year of assassinations, escalating war, and counter-cultural ferment, of hippies and yippies and black power, of demonstrations for peace and eruptions of violence. America 1968 brings this amazing year back to life in a fascinating, multi-media musical documentary. Featuring a live band and a compact ensemble of dynamic singer-actors, America 1968 mixes potent imagery with unforgettable words and immortal songs, including "Born To Be Wild," "Hey Jude," and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine." A music-filled history lesson for those who weren't there, and a powerful return trip for those who were!
