welcome

Since its inception in 1996, the vision of the Fine Arts Connection of Thomaston has been to create an organization dedicated to promoting the varied expressions of creativity in the realm of fine arts. One focus of this vision is to expose adults and children alike to the many diverse forms of art that exist in and around Thomaston, CT such as theater, music, dance, writing, painting, photography and many more.

It is recognized that the arts serve to assist a person in experiencing a greater satisfaction with life, either as a member of an audience or as a participant. The audience can listen to or observe and absorb what the artist has presented, while the participant can express his or her inner soul through the music, camera eye, dance, or canvas. No matter how one experiences the arts, experiencing them is paramount to one’s enjoyment of life, for life, in itself, is art.

Thomaston Summer Concert Series 2017 Concert week 5:

NANCY TUCKER
Monday, July 24 – 7:00 p.m.
Thomaston Opera House
158 Main Street (Town Hall – 5th Floor)
Thomaston, CT

We Bring you the hilariously funny lady NANCY TUCKER to the stage in Seth Thomas Park as we celebrate week 6 of 9 as part of the Thomaston Summer Concert Series 2017.

Who Is Nancy Tucker?

Nancy Tucker, a one-time biology teacher, is now an award-winning songwriter, singer, and comedian. She has been called a “one-woman fun festival.”

Her humor is based on life’s absurdities, on which she has an excellent grasp. She is an accomplished guitarist, has written and recorded countless songs on many CD’s, and has been included on several compilation CD’s ranging from Phil Ochs to Dr. Demento.

She took first place honors in the 2002 Connecticut Comedy Festival after a grueling 3 weeks of competition, and has appeared in a Connecticut Public Television special, at the Bushnell’s Ha! Ha! Hartford, and as a headliner throughout New England and New York, and in many original one-woman shows. Her humor is both squeaky clean and funny—something few comics can claim.

Tucker’s talents appeal to children and adults, and she can and does entertain a range of generations simultaneously and contiguously without missing a beat.

Go to our MUSIC page for more info and a link to her website.
