Cue Productions Live, 1835 Colfax Street, Concord
$18
http://www.b8company.com/events.htm
Part 1: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/246153
Part 2: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/246157
“Join us once again for Jane Austen's enduring tale of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage among the landed gentry of early 19th century England, a show Charles Jarrett called ‘...a melded work of translational genius.’ and ‘...a stunning production.’
This revival of last year's world premiere four-act adaptation, created specifically for Butterfield 8, is once again presented in two parts. Based on audience feedback, there will be two opportunities to see the production as a double feature - both parts on the same day!
The Mission of Butterfield 8 Theatre Company is to provide audiences a fresh take on classic plays, and foster the creation of new works.
Our Vision is to present audiences with examples of both ends of the theatrical spectrum: new productions of classic works, focusing in particular on text-driven plays (such as the works of Shakespeare), and new works devised by the company or written by local playwrights. Our work often examines perceptions of gender, both within the context of the play and the larger context of society as a whole. We strive to create an immersive environment, believing the audience’s experience starts when they buy the ticket, and shouldn't end when they leave the theatre. We honor that the audience has come for a live theatre experience to engage with a story or an idea; to be taken on a journey. This is our responsibility, and our craft.”

“I am: The Eternal Face
The Eternal Face whispers to us of our original self, the seed of who we are authentic power, innocence, pure love, peace and joy.
I am who you say I am: The Traditional Face
The Traditional Face convinces us that safety and success come from defining ourselves through the eyes and beliefs of others.
I am not who you say I am: The Modern Face
The Modern Face finds the courage to reject the imposition of others seeking to return to the truth of who we are but often finds itself lost in struggle.
I access the power to be who I am: Shakti - The Face of Spiritual Power
The Shakti Face - the face of spiritual wisdom and power - is the key to return to our true self without the struggle and cost of the Modern Face.
These faces are ones that we all know. They live within us and through us. They give us beauty and strength, love and compassion, freedom and the promise of freedom, security and the illusion of security. In this day event we will investigate these faces in depth, offering you a chance to see them for yourself, know them in yourself, and choose more consciously for yourself.
There will be music, dance, song and a vegetarian lunch will be served.
All workshops and retreats at Anubhuti are made possible by the generosity and contributions of the participants. Please check with our staff for details.”

http://www.silkroadhouse.org

“This 2004 Chinese film is a visually splendid celebration of childhood, the Tom Sawyer of the steppes. It is addressed to the whole family viewing.
Story takes place somewhere in the Chinese province of Inner Mongolia, where one day young Bilgee finds a ping-pong ball floating down a creek. He shows it to his pals, Ergotov and Dawaa, and they also have no idea what the thing is, though Bilgee's aged grandma confirms it's a magical pearl from heaven.
Later, after several attempts to resolve the enigma, thinking the ball is a national treasure of China, Bilgee and Dawaa set off on their own - without telling their families - to return it to Beijing, which they think is just over the horizon. But they discover the grasslands are much bigger than they ever imagined.
The screening will be introduced and commented on by Alma Kunanbaeva.
Silk Road House events are sponsored by the Silkroad Foundation.”

“Get ready to step back in time when the past mingles with the present once again in Old Sacramento! Visitors to Old Sacramento will enjoy lively and interactive street theatre as part of the hugely popular Time Travel Weekends that debuted last year to much applause. The streets of Old Sacramento will come alive with talented performers who put on spontaneous and elaborate skits and performances. Plus, visitors won’t want to miss the highly entertaining Old West stage shows happening daily including the much acclaimed Golden Melodeon Review in the Eagle Theatre.
As you stroll through Old Sacramento on weekends July through August, you might just chance upon historic re-enactments complete with wagons, wild characters with heroes and villains, children’s pioneer craft activities, historic gambling, bowling, juggling, singing, dancing and other forms of musical mastery, military encampments, mining camps, parades, historic events, medicine shows, Civil War cannon firings, and much, much more!”
A lot of the performers in this program are Renaissance Faire and/or Dickens Fair folk!
Director Robert Young, who may look familiar to you if you’ve ever met Mr. Dickens himself, or attended a Mysterium Om ritual at PantheaCon, says:
“THE CURTAIN'S GOING UP - on a new season of Time Travel Weekends in Sacramento City. The very first melodrama to open the Eagle Theatre in 1849, 'The Bandit Chief', will be reborn on that stage every afternoon. An entertaining show of variety acts will also take stage - jugglers, Shakespearean actors, medicine show, can can, music hall and much more - concluding in the stirring pageant 'Triumph of Eureka'. Mr. Mark Twain himself will hold forth with his droll humor and entertaining tales. The streets will be bustling with wagons, carriages, parades, music and lively characters. Will you be there?”

"Every year Berkeley Morris hosts a series of FREE workshops in morris and related dance traditions. No experience is needed, and all are welcome! Workshops are taught by members of Berkeley Morris, or friends of ours from the local (or not so local) dance community. Come to one, or attend all four. Join us afterwards at the Jupiter Pub at 2181 Shattuck Avenue in downtown Berkeley.
The particular styles and dances taught vary from year to year. If you attended last year, come back for something new!
Workshops for 2012 will be held on the following dates (all are Tuesdays beginning at 7:30PM):
August 28
September 11
September 18
Come and learn the basics of Morris Dancing at a series of free workshops in Berkeley. Each Tuesday we will teach a different variation and begin at the beginning, so come to as many as you want. No partner needed; this is danced in a group rather than with a partner.
Morris Dance is a traditional English performance dating back hundreds of years, typically done in the spring by a team of dancers and musicians who have practised together over the winter months. Berkeley Morris was founded in 1977. We perform throughout the Bay Area and beyond. Our team members cover a wide range of locations, professions, ages and genders.”
These are the Morris Dancers who make the sun come up at Tilden Park on Beltane!
