A production of Wonderfest
Wednesday, August 13, 7:00-9:00PM
Oshman Family JCC, 3921 Fabian Way, Palo Alto

“What if our soundest, most reasonable judgments are beyond our control? Are the feelings of being rational and having free will generated by conscious decisions or involuntary brain mechanisms? Is there a way to resolve the conflict between our innate biology and our traditional beliefs? Dr. Robert A. Burton, author of A Skeptic’s Guide to the Mind, reveals what neuroscience can (and cannot) tell us about ourselves.”

The Rules of the Game
Thursday, August 13, 7:00PM
The Cerrito Theater, 10070 San Pablo Avenue, El Cerrito
$8
“Don’t miss this acclaimed classic!
Often cited as one of the greatest films ever made, Jean Renoir’s La Regle du Jeu (The Rules of the Game) was not warmly received on its original release in 1939: It was banned as morally perilous during the German occupation and the original negative was destroyed during WWII. It wasn’t until 1956 that Renoir was able to restore the film to its original length.
In retrospect, this reaction seems both puzzling and understandable; at its heart, The Rules of the Game is a very moral film about frequently amoral people. A comedy of manners whose wit only occasionally betrays its more serious intentions, it contrasts the romantic entanglements of rich and poor during a weekend at a country estate. Andre Jurieu (Roland Toutain), a French aviation hero, has fallen in love with Christine de la Chesnaye (Nora Gregor), who is married to wealthy aristocrat Marquis Robert de la Chesnaye (Marcel Dalio). Robert, however, has a mistress of his own, whom he invites to a weekend hunting party at his country home, along with Andre and his friend Octave (played by Jean Renoir himself). Meanwhile, the hired help have their own game of musical beds going on: a poacher is hired to work as a servant at the estate and immediately makes plans to seduce the gamekeeper’s wife, while the gamekeeper recognizes him only as the man who’s been trying to steal his rabbits.
Among the upper classes, infidelity is not merely accepted but expected; codes are breached not by being unfaithful, but by lacking the courtesy to lie about it in public. The weekend ends in a tragedy that suggests that this way of life may soon be coming to an end.
The Rules of the Game plays only once on Thursday, August 14, at 7:00PM. All seats are $8. Moviegoers are advised to get advance tickets at the box office or online, as shows may sell out. Arriving early is a good idea, in order to choose your seat and also order delicious food and wine or beer.
Have you tried Scene, on the right side of the lobby? Scene wine/food bar offers tempting food such as panini, snacks and salads - and they can all be brought to your seat in the theater. Scene opens daily at 4:30PM and is a great place to visit - even when you’re not going to a movie.”

A Midsummer Night's Dream
presented by San Jose Youth Shakespeare
Wednesday-Sunday, August 13-17,
Wednesday-Friday 7:00PM, Saturday 2:00PM and 7:00PM, Sunday 3:00PM
Historic Hoover Theatre, 1635 Park Avenue, San Jose
$8 in advance, $10 at the door, Children 7 and Under Free
“The likely date for the composition of A Midsummer Night's Dream is about 1595, when Shakespeare, in his early 30s, was entering into the ‘middle period’ of his developing genius. Although freely lifting scraps of material from Ovid, Apuleius, Chaucer, Lyly, and English folktales, the play is truly original. There is no known source or even precedent for the diffuse plot dynamics of the play's intricate storyline.
Comedy, more capacious and flexible, does not lend itself to the precise analysis of tragedy we find, for example, in Aristotle's Poetics. Tragedy is about an aspect of life; comedy is about life in the round. Amid all the madcap plot juggling of A Midsummer Night's Dream, two characters reflect the play's dreamlike counterpoint of nature and fantasy: Bottom and Puck, in whom we discover the lion's share of the play's exuberance and wisdom: ‘Lord, what fools these mortals be.’”

“Join us this summer for a series of concerts in our beautiful Redwood Grove!
The Earl Brothers, based in San Francisco and led by banjo master Robert Earl Davis, have been delving into the dark side of bluegrass for more than a decade. Their music, like the blues, has that paradoxical effect of taking you so deep into the mire that you come out feeling a little better than you did before.
Bill Evans is an internationally recognized five-string banjo life force. For his Banjo In America performance, he will bring nine vintage instruments and trace the story of the banjo from its West African roots to the New World, with musical examples from the 1700s to the present day, explaining how the banjo has been at the intersection of African- and Anglo-American musical and cultural exchange for over 250 years.
Ticket includes admission to the Garden before 5:00PM. BYO picnic and non-alcoholic drinks welcome.”

Show Down!
presented by Thunderbird Theatre
Thursday-Saturday, August 14-16, 8:00PM - final week
EXIT Theatre, 156 Eddy Street, San Francisco
sliding scale $20-$30
“The new Thunderbird Theatre comedy that’s fighting for the soul of television; on stage.
K.R.A.P. TV, the last all-live television station left in the United States, has just become the battleground for the future of entertainment, technology, and hyperbole.
When traditional broadcast devotees are pitted against hipsters of new media, the results are unexpected: kale, love triangles, cheese theft, and the iPlan.
This original comedy brings K.R.A.P. to the stage where audiences will witness the age-old struggle of pride of work versus the all-mighty dollar.
Will our heroine Beth be able to keep the station afloat, or will the evil Commodore entice everyone to waste their days with online personality quizzes?
Turning traditional work-place melodrama on its ear, this show reveals which is better; true love or ordering tacos with your paramour du jour.”

The year is 1895. Detective Avery Sly from Scotland Yard arrives in the bowels of an eerie asylum for the criminally insane. He has come to interrogate four inmates about the disappearance of a mysterious nobleman from Transylvania.
As the inquest unfolds, some very unsettling questions begin to emerge: was Count Dracula really a demonic vampire, as the inmates claim? Or was he, in fact, the innocent victim of a bizarre and ritualistic murder conspiracy?
A Central Works Method Play developed in collaboration with Joe Estlack, John Flanagan, Vanessa Ramos, Gregory Scharpen, Megan Trout, Joshua Schell, Kenny Toll and Jan Zvaifler. Written by Gary Graves, Directed by Jan Zvaifler.”

A group of actors in a radio studio create the illusion of an invasion from Mars, in the spirit of Halloween fun. Or is it? What do we, or should we, believe? Anticipating the deafening noise of the corporate media, Welles’ The War of the Worlds offers a delightful, albeit sobering, expose of gullibility, doubt, fear, rumor, magic, and fabrication.
New company members Monica Cappuccini, Weston Gaylord, and Dante Belletti join SRT veterans Tom Freeland (The Exception and the Rule), Don DeMico (Curse of the Starving Class), and Courtney Walsh (Old Times) in a rousing tribute to the Mercury Theater of the Air and the power of radio - on stage!”

“Welcome, welcome, welcome! The Knights of Revery welcome one and all into the Realm of Dreams*! Sir Psycho and Sir Pomp (as channeled through Brian Livingston and Robert Hickling) amuse ourselves and others by journeying between the realms of the conscious and unconscious, between fact and fiction, between here and now, between our creamy peanut butter and your smooth jelly. Please join us in a tender, delicately rough, delightful, slightly unpredictable experience of late night play and dreamery. A show. An experience. A party. Interact. Move. Dance. Put periods at the ends of short sentences. Imagine all of these in a swirling whirling chocolate and very cherry cordial. Put a spoonful of it in your mouth. Savor. You will leave knowing more people than when you arrived, and perhaps more about yourself.
In the spirit of Burning Man (ooo it approacheth!) and Dreams and such, we do encourage dressing up in dreamy attire if you like - from pajamas to ballgowns to fairy wings to whatever you dream up (no need to, of course - only if it fills you with delight)...

The Dark Crystal
part of the Popcorn Palace series at the Balboa Theatre
Saturday, August 16, 10:00AM
The Balboa Theatre, 3630 Balboa Street, San Francisco
$10 includes popcorn and a drink
“The Dark Crystal is a 1982 American-British fantasy film directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz. The plot revolves around Jen, an elflike Gelfling on a quest to restore balance to his alien world by returning a lost shard to a powerful but broken gem. Although marketed as a family film, it was notably darker than the creators' previous material. The animatronics used in the film were considered groundbreaking. The primary concept artist was the fantasy illustrator Brian Froud, famous for his distinctive faerie and dwarf designs. Froud also collaborated with Henson and Oz for their next project, the 1986 film Labyrinth, which was notably more light-hearted than The Dark Crystal. The film stars the voices of Stephen Garlick, Lisa Maxwell and Billie Whitelaw.”

August 16: Juni Fisher
In the central San Joaquin Valley of California, a horse crazy kid to grew up in a farming family, but between school and countless singing performances with her two sisters, Juni found a way to have horses, and 4-H and FFA honors followed her throughout her school years.
While studying Equine Science at the College of the Sequoias in Visalia, she rode young horses for neighbors, worked gates at the sales yard, and helped local ranches. A good ‘catch rider’, she rode her way through college, with top honors at Intercollegiate and Quarter Horse shows. Meanwhile, she was earning horse show entry money singing big band standards in a dance orchestra.
She trained cowhorses from snaffle bitters to bridle horses, winning her first Snaffle Bit Futurity (IARCHA) in ’81, her first Bridle Horse Championship in ’83 (the Monterey Classic) while working on a cow calf operation, and running a roping arena. Her bridle horses did day work on the ranch, and competed weekends with much success. If there was a campfire gathering with music, Juni was there with her guitar, singing the songs of the west she’d learned from her father. In 1984 she moved to Santa Ynez, CA, to train cutting horses, taking her blossoming songwriting skills with her.
A local band was quick to ask her to play rhythm guitar and sing leads and backups. Members of the noted Rancheros Vistadores, an elite group of ranchers from across the nation, noticed her singing around town, which led her to working L.A. area clubs with a popular country band, which was also playing western and cowboy music.
Juni’s ability to ride at speed across the hills found her working as a foxhunting professional, and she accepted a one year position with a hunt club in Tennessee. Point to point racing, steeplechasing, and horse trials took the place of cowhorses, while she honed her songwriting skills amongst some of Nashville’s finest, managing a saddlery during the day. She and husband Rusty, who works for Purina Mills as an Equine Specialist, keep two favorite horses these days, living near Franklin, Tennessee.
She recorded her first Western release, Tumbleweed Letters in late 1999. Monterey Cowboy Poetry and Music Festival director Gary Brown heard her first album, and hunted her down to perform at the 2004 Festival. He shared Juni’s music with other promoters and artists, and started the wheels turning, allowing Juni to shift her profession to the music she loved most. Juni released a second album, Sideshow Romance in the summer of 2004. Her third release, Cowgirlography featured a duet with Sons of the San Joaquin's Joe Hannah, and received rave reviews, multiple nominations and a WMA Song of the Year award. The start of 2008 marked the release of her historic Gone For Colorado, an album that brought forth Juni's own family history in song.
Fisher is a lot easier to find these days, performing at venues like the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, NV, the Heber City Cowboy Gathering, Monterey Cowboy Festival, Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival, the Colorado Cowboy Gathering, Spirit of the West Festival, Cochise Cowboy Poetry Gathering, Salinas and Big Bear Lake gatherings, radio shows, Folk Festivals, and many more venues

Open Shamanic Journey Circle
with Anne Hatfield and Stuart Dole
Sunday, August 17, 3:00-5:00PM, and the third Sunday of each month
The Volunteer Center, 153 Stony Circle, Santa Rosa
$20
“It was such a success we're continuing the open shamanic journey drumming circle! Come join us to partake in the ongoing magic.
Over the years many people have asked us about opportunities for journeying in the context of a circle - which many find to be more powerful than journeying solo. This is that opportunity.
The shamanic journey is a way to explore the non-ordinary realms, interact directly with personal power animals and spirit guides, and access divine information.
This is a journey circle - it's best if you already have had some experience with shamanic journeying. If not, or if you want a review, come at 2:30PM for introductory information and mentoring.
Bring a drum or rattle if you have them, an eye covering for journeying, and a notebook to record your experiences.
We plan to offer this every third Sunday afternoon.
We're asking a $20 donation to help with the site rental. Details will be sent to those that are coming.”

Who is OwlSnake?
Born into a long lineage of Medicine Men/Women, Spiritual Healers, Seers, and Shamans, on both her maternal and paternal ancestral lines, she was first called to this sacred path at the age of 4 years old from her Great Aunt. She was chosen to continue the family tradition of Spiritual Medicine work, some would call Shamanism. Through the years she would experience many of life's challenges and growth opportunities that have allowed her to learn and experience firsthand some of the greatest issues that plague this world today. From those experiences, along with her direct connection with Great Spirit, Guides, Angels, and Ancestors, OwlSnake has awakened into being a compassionate healer that is willing to be used as a ‘Hollow Bone’ for Spirit to assist all those that seek healing and inspiration on their journey.”

Forum is a facilitated awareness and communication training for groups of 12 to 50. It was designed in the Zegg community in Germany so the community has a way to communicate with itself. It provides an artistic way of personal sharing where an individual moves in the center of the circle and shares whatever is alive in them. Our true motivations, our deep feelings, longings, ideas, and emotions become revealed. This focus on transparency, sharing, and clarifying unsolved situations makes it an invaluable catalyst for growth. Forum is a personal process in a social context. We discover how our personal issues resonate with everyone, and learn how each theme is part of a common human experience.”

Hacking the Economy - Cooperatives: Democratizing the Work Place
Wednesday, August 20, 6:30-8:30PM
Impact Hub Oakland, 2323 Broadway, Oakland
$10
“Many of the systemic problems with our economy arise from the diffuse ownership of large profit-maximizing corporations. Worker-owned cooperatives root the ownership of economic activity in place and can pursue social and beneficial practices that would be incompatible with a profit-maximization mandate.
The program will feature a number of local cooperatives that are building the new economy by redesigning the way economic decisions are made:
Energy Solidarity Cooperative - Shiva Patel
WAGES - Sarah Lightfood
Coop Collaborative Incubator - Rani Croager
Three Stone Hearth - Jessica Prentice
Brief presentation by each of the presenter will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Ricardo Nunez of the Sustainable Economies Law Center and audience Q and A.”

“Who’s your (ancient) daddy? Did he walk upright? Could he control fire? Did he have a brow ridge that wouldn’t quit?! Then maybe he was a Homo of the erectus - not so sapient - type. Many new Homo erectus specimens have been added to the global repository in the past decades, and many new interpretations have followed. It is more that most can easily digest. Come join professor Henry Gilbert, discoverer of the Daka Homo erectus cranium, to have the Pleistocene evidence of your ancestors’ evolutionary history explained.”
