Western Civilization! -
The Complete Musical
As
the opening song says: “History ain’t what it used
to be.” From the Dark Ages to the Information Age, a
talented trio sings, dances and goofs their way
through history with broad strokes of satiric humor.
The Vikings, the Magna Carta, the Black Plague, the
Crusades, Galileo, Michelangelo, the Inquisition, the
Enlightenment, the invention of the flush toilet, the
Apollo moon launch, Disco! The humor is nutty and
irreverent and the songs are great fun.

Blues,
Broadway & Beyond - An Evening with Beth Baker
Presented by The Rogue Gallery and
Art Center. From their press release: "The San
Francisco Chronicle put it this way: 'Baker at full
throttle is an inspiring thing to behold.' 'She's as
much Broadway Baby as sensitive chanteuse...' John
Hoglund, Backstage Magazine, New York. Yes, Baker can
blow the roof off the joint with her remarkable belt
and nearly 4-octive range, yet can take it right down
to a whisper, something few singers in the world can
accomplish. Sultry, soulful and sassy, Baker is
captivating on stage offering an entertaining program
with something for just about everyone. Blues,
ballads, jazz, gospel, inspiration, and musical
theatre comedy comprise her musical mixed bag. It's
not surprising to find listeners tapping their feet,
clapping their hands or gently wiping away a tear all
in the same night's program. Baker can flat-out sing.
There are voices. Then there are VOICES..."

Arlo
Guthrie
Arlo Guthrie was born with a guitar
in one hand and a harmonica in the other, in Coney
Island, Brooklyn, New York in 1947. He is the eldest
son of America's most beloved
singer/writer/philosopher Woody Guthrie and Marjorie
Mazia Guthrie. He grew up surrounded by dancers
and musicians: Pete Seeger, Ronnie Gilbert, Fred
Hellerman and Lee Hays (The Weavers), Leadbelly, Cisco
Houston, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Sonny Terry and
Brownie McGee, all of whom were significant influences
on Arlo's musical career. Guthrie gave his first
public performance at age 13 and quickly became
involved in the music that was shaping the world
during the 1960s

cleanse his tarnished soul, Ester launches him upon a
harrowing spiritual passage aboard the legendary slave

Steel Magnolias
This funny and touching play met
with immediate critical and popular acceptance in ts
premier production by New York's WPA Theatre.
Centering on a group of gossipy Southern ladies in a
small-town beauty parlor, the play is alternately
hilarious and moving—and, in the end, deeply
revealing of the love, strength and determination that
inspires the antic banter of its characters. 'Harling
has given his women sharp, funny dialogue…The play
builds to a conclusion that is deeply moving.' —
N.Y. Daily News. '…a skill-fully crafted, lovingly
evoked picture of eccentricity in the small-town
South.' — Drama-Logue.
