A Land Remembered Tour – February and March 2020 Dates

My multimedia tour of Patrick Smith’s Florida Is A Land Remembered, will return to Florida in February and March 2020. I would love to see you at one of the shows!

Many people have told me how much they love this program. Many more have expressed disappointment that they have not been able to attend. I hope this tour will bring it to your community.

We have 23 shows of Patrick Smith’s Florida Is A Land Remembered to do between February 6 and March 12.

More About The A Land Remembered Tour

So what is this “tour”?

Well, it’s a multi-city junket Kim and I take throughout Florida where I present a special multi-media show that I have put together on my father, the book A Land Remembered, and the Florida of days past. And it is incredibly popular and well-received from small-town libraries to the big city theaters.

Even if you’ve seen my show before I think you will enjoy experiencing it again. I’ve added a lot of new material and in my humble opinion, it just keeps getting better and more fun. If you are a fan of A Land Remembered or any other of Patrick Smith’s novels, this is a must see. You’ll learn so much more about both the author and some of his experiences along the way of writing these novels. I’ve given this performance 286 times already and, as I said, the attendees say they love it.

Will This Show Be In Your Community?

Below is the schedule* of public performances. If any are near you I certainly hope you can attend. Most of them are free thanks to grants from Florida Humanities and other sources.

As always, we’ll have all 10 of Dad’s books plus the award-winning DVD Patrick Smith’s Florida, A Sense of Place for sale and I’m happy to autograph them. Kim works hard to put a beautiful book display up at every venue and I know you’ll be amazed to see some of Dad’s less well known novels. I love them all.

I hope to see you somewhere along the way.
