Mitchell Zeidwig was originally headed toward a professional baseball career, but before spring training, while in the middle his ski-racing season at McGill, a revelation inspired him to suddenly stop in his tracks and aspire to become a pianist. This was at age 19 – an age generally considered impossible as a starting point for a concert career. Nonetheless, against all odds, he journeyed on to enormous critical acclaim throughout the world not only as a concert pianist, but as a comedian and composer. His original film shorts have been broadcast by PBS on six continents and continue to be seen worldwide. Zeidwig has appeared in over one hundred prime time television shows and as a headliner in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. He has performed both nationally and internationally for such corporate giants as Westinghouse, Hewlett-Packard and Phillips Corporation. After several sold-out performances at Carnegie Hall, Zeidwig has also enjoyed critical success with major symphony orchestras both as a concerto soloist and as a comedian. Zeidwig arrives in Pawleys Island on the heels of his debut with the Boston Pops and recent sold-out shows in Europe and Asia. A New York native, and a long-time fan of the Lowcountry, Zeidwig supports the local performing arts and the Pawleys Island Festival of Music and Art.

“IT’S SHOWTIME!”

“There’s no business like show business,” and this year the Pawleys Island Festival of Music and Art is gearing up for two week-ends of exciting events, including the newly formed children’s company called “The Grand Stand Theatrical Youth Players” under the direction of Tim McGhee and Sandra Adams, both from the Theatre of The Republic in Conway S.C. Open auditions will be taking place throughout the Grand Strand for singers, dancers, actors or someone with that special talent like juggling or magic – if you have talent we need you. Youth over age 8 and under 16 are invited to audition. The show will be performed at the Pawleys Island Festival of Music & Art on Sunday, October, 3 and then in Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach and Conway at a later date. Rehearsals will be on Saturday afternoons late August and September. Each cast member will be required to pay a costume fee of $50.
