Show didn tgo
these 2 weekends
By JANE G. BRUST
Battalion Staff
The MSC Town Hall Committee will not be presenting concerts for
two consecutive football weekends due to booking cancellations.
Chairman Michael Parkman says.
Donna Summer, booked last spring to appear in G. Rollie White
Coliseum Wednesday night, canceled in July for personal reasons,
Parkman said.
“We worked with several possibilities since then,” Parkman said,
“but nothing panned out.”
Parkman said Christopher Cross was the most realistic possibility
but that performer had not planned to tour this week.
Town Hall committee members tried until two weeks ago to book a
“It’s usually standard to lose one big
show each year, ” the Town Hall
Chairman said, “usually during football
season. ”
show for this weekend. Parkman said they prefer a minimum of two
weeks for ticket preparation and publicity.
Because Chicago canceled, Town Hall will not present a concert
next weekend either. Parkman said the group canceled an entire tour
with no explanation.
Parkman said Town Hall had an offer to get Linda Ronstadt as
negotiations with Chicago were firming up. The committee said no to
Ronstadt since Chicago was almost definite. But since the group had
not actually signed a contract, it was still free to cancel.
“It’s usually standard to lose one big show each year, usually during
football season,” Parkman said.
Other acts that have canceled Town Hall agreements in past years
include Barry Manilow, Dolly Parton and Boston.
Town Hall has had three cancellations just this semester. Bruce
_ Springsteen had been scheduled to appear in November.
Parkman said Springsteen decided not to play here because of the
framework supporting the basketball goal above the coliseum stage.
“They require a 27-foot minimum distance between the stage and
anything hanging above it,” he said. Town Hall offered to tear down
am** the framework that hangs 21 feet above the stage, but the earliest that
could be done is Christmas.
“G. Rollie White is becoming a limiting factor in the kind of shows
we can bring,” Parkman said.
Town Hall has already presented three shows and has a total of eight
budgeted for the year.
