Robert Carter Nicholas (1729–1780) was a member of a privileged, elite Virginia family, prominent lawyer, tobacco planter, leading member of the House of Burgesses, treasurer, churchman, and active participant in the political dramas that led to independence. His life allows us to see how men and women of the upper classes lived; how they depended on slavery for their wealth and social status; how they were surrounded by enslaved people almost all of the time; how they brought up and educated their children; how the complex international tobacco economy on which they depended operated; how the institutions of government, such as the legislature and the courts, functioned; and how members of elite families dominated the politics of the time. Tracing the life of this one Virginian illuminates the experiences of other Virginians during two decades of profoundly important challenges and changes, which culminated in the decision of elite leaders like Nicholas—who at first glance appear to have had nothing to gain and much to lose by risking a revolution—to vote for independence from Great Britain in 1776.

Brent Tarter is a founding editor of the Library of Virginia’s Dictionary of Virginia Biography and a cofounder of the annual Virginia Forum. He is the author of numerous books, including The Grandees of Government: The Origins and Persistence of Undemocratic Politics in Virginia; Virginians and Their Histories; Vignettes of Colonial Virginia: Remarkable Stories from the Founding of America; and Virginia’s Forgotten Founder: The World of Robert Carter Nicholas.

Ian Fidance is an offbeat yet upbeat New York City comic, actor, and writer originally from Wilmington, Delaware. An absolute force on stage, his act is insanely positive and positively insane.

Fidance has been featured on NPR’s “This American Life” and is a popular guest on podcasts and radio shows alike. He co-starred in multiple sketches on the latest season of the “Gilly and Keeves” sketch show, “The Last OG” with Tracy Morgan, and was featured on “This Week at the Comedy Cellar” on Comedy Central. A true honor, he was a contributing writer on the most recent season of Crank Yankers on Comedy Central, and did punch up work on Michelle Obama’s children’s cooking show “Waffles + Mochi” on Netflix. His work has been published alongside Jerry Seinfeld, Bob Odenkirk, Ray Ramano, and Maria Bamford in a book of poems entitled “Eating Salad Drunk: Haiku’s for the Burnout Age by Comedy Greats” available now through Macmillan Publishers.

Get ready to experience an evening with Starfire Live! This intimate setting will allow Starfire to share some of her favorite songs and the stories behind the music. She will take a limited number of requests from the audience during the show; be sure to check out the digital catalog beforehand to make your selections!

A singer from a very early age, all Starfire ever wanted to do was perform. After she picked up a guitar in her teens, it seemed her stage was set. Family life took precedence during early adulthood, but now that her daughters are growing up, she’s back to pursuing her rockstar dreams!

We welcome you to this night of acoustic music and behind-the-scenes stories right here in Lynchburg, VA!
