Dunedin Public Theater Share the Dream Series: Paul Wilborn’s Words & Music

Event Information

Paul Wilborn’s Words & Music features songs by his four-piece group, Front Porch Picnic, and a complete short story read by the film actor, Eugenie Bondurant.

The story comes from Paul’s book, Cigar City: Tales from A 1980s Creative Ghetto. The book won the fiction gold medal in the Florida Book Awards. Eugenie Bondurant is the star of The Hunger Games, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and Marvel’s Werewolf by Night, among other films and television series.  Along with Paul on piano and vocals, Eugenie on vocals, Front Porch Picnic includes guitarist and singer Robin Sibucao, a veteran of the Atlanta Rhythm Section, and his wife, singer Sher Sibucao.

Paul’s book, Cigar City, is a collection of linked short stories about the young artists, writers, poets, musicians, and actors who inhabited Tampa’s Ybor City in the 1980s. Drawn by urban authenticity and cheap rents, they created a surreal, chaotic, arts scene set against the backdrop of the empty cigar factories and shotgun shacks of Tampa’s immigrant past. The Ybor scene drew international artists like James Rosenquist and mirrored what was happening in New York’s East Village.
